most sites are spaced apart nicely. there's plenty of shade. bathrooms are kept clean. sites are maintained. plenty of hiking trails are within walking distance so no need to drive anywhere if you don't want to.

Our 2nd visit in 2 years. Lovely ranger staff who obviously love working there. Portapotties only as sewer currently being fixed, but they are clean, regularly changed over and no hardship. The environment is beautifully natural, wonderful place to watch the fall leaves change color. The only disappointment is that every weekend is fully booked, but there are lots of empty campsites due to noshows. This is a major issue in every National Park.

No bathroom or showerfacilities. Porta potties had external wash stand with no soap.

The main issue that caused the lower rating was the unadvertised unavailability of the restrooms and utility sinks. The sewer treatment plant was supposed to be corrected in March but was not causing a porta potty only situation. This also caused campers to become creative in their disposal of items that was not being cleaned up either. The camp store that should have provided wood and ice was also not available in this campground during our 12 day stay. Most campers were being surprised by these conditions as there was no indication of this known condition online and there still isn’t from what I can see. People with reservations should have been notified as their contact information was available.
