Our site was relatively private, especially in the back. The only downside was kids on scooters riding unsupervised. We also noticed that not a single Ranger patrolled the area, cars would drive fast and the wrong way on one way roads, and some campers allowed there dogs to roam off leash. Like many national park campgrounds weve visited, the lack of Ranger patrols and rule enforcement is woefully inadequate.

Large campground but no shower Restrooms old and in poor shape Bicycle rentals are a nice option

The park and the campground were wonderful! The only downside was that they charged $4.50 for a Junior Ranger book. WHAT?! That is crazy. How are you supposed to encourage kids to get outdoors and explore our national parks if you charge for the book? We have visited 10+ national parks and this is the first one that has charged for a Junior Ranger book.

Clean level sites. Great atmosphere and setting for relaxing. Nice hikes nearby but I assume during warmer months campsite would be very crowded. I was there in February so no leaves but a heavily wooded campground. No cell phone service which was fine for me but plan accordingly.
