This was our first time camping here and we had a great time. The rangers were very helpful when we had to change sites. Bath houses were always clean. One of the best things is that we got to see a bear right in front of our site.

Bathrooms very dated but kept clean. Good ranger/ worker ratio.

The bike ride on Wednesday was amazing. But there are some very steep hills (both up and down). Take plenty of water and WEAR A HELMET!!!!!

Campsite was nice and quiet. No hot water in bathroom but there was outside of the bathroom.

Loved riding the loop road on Wed. Would like to see wifi offered at least in the visitors center. Shower facility would be nice even if only cold water.

Had a great time. Restrooms were clean, riding through the loop is my favorite with hopes of seeing deer, wild turkeys, and hopefully a bear. A first this time was seeing either a wolf or coyote. We could not tell which from the distance. Having all day Wednesday just for bikers was great. We did not have to worry with automobile traffic and had all day to complete our journey.

We had site C18. Good part of the campground, and right across from the forest with easy access to nice walking trails. However, this site is way too close to the bathroom. People were basically walking through our site to get there. Campground has easy access to the scenic loop - good place to go on a run.

One of our favorite places. Always clean. Much to do with loop road, hiking, history.
