The bad:
The winter storms thrashed the bathrooms and caused leaks that haven't yet been repaired. The bathrooms were a mess due to a leaking toilet that caused a muddy slick floor. There was a nearly full porta potty available for those who weren't willing to trek into the mess.
The not-so-great:
The trashes filled during our long weekend stay, meaning people would set their trash beside the can. Not smart in bear country- the rangers should have a plan for moving trash to ensure this doesn't happen.
The good:
Running water and hand soap!
Shuttle service right across the bridge.
Hike to the waterfall right from the campground.
Despite the rushing river, there was a little stream by camp sites 165, 163 that the kids could wade in.
Quiet, respectful neighbors.
