(2) Message from NPS stated restrooms would be open for 2 hours each morning and 2 hours each evening. Restrooms were not open at all. Although port-o-lets were provided, emptying and sanitizing frequency was inadequate.
(3) No ice or firewood was available. NPS could have easily arranged for a contracted vendor to daily have trucks on site.
(4) Grass mowing and weed trimming did not occur during our stay, and appeared that it had not been done recently.
(5) Campground road maintenance is terrible. The roads are full of potholes.
(6) Obviously, NPS puts more emphasis on facilitating firefly viewing than maintaining a functional and user-friendly campground.
(7) Security_ not once did we see Park Ranger patrol the campground. No incidents occurred, but it would have been comforting to occasionally see a Ranger cruise by.
(8) In spite of facility issues, the staff and volunteer hosts were excellent!
