campsite: The maps of the site are not accurate with relation to the sites and the vault toilets. I picked our site, b16, thinking it was far enough away from the toilet, however upon arriving I learned it was about 10 feet away. The smell was atrocious and constant. The vaults were at least 3 quarters full. Sites b17 and b18 were also noticeably closer than the maps indicated. Camp host: Our camp hosts were very nice and able to find us a site that was not 10 feet from the nearly full toilets. One host also brought us an extension cord to re-inflate our air mattress that had a slow leak.Camp rules: Saturday a group of at least 8 college-age kids occupied a site on loop C. Their partying was loud and began early in the day. Around 7pm they were still going strong. Lots of loud music, yelling and shouting. At 10pm I expected a camp host to make the rounds of the camp, hoping they would shut down the party. They did not. at 10:30pm I had gone to throw trash in the bin near the party camp. They were still shouting and yelling, playing beer pong. I came across a young girl in a neighboring camp who was terrified of the party group. Her camp was adjacent to theirs. She was alone and traveling across the country and was hoping to get a good nights sleep prior to the next day of driving. She had spoken to the camp host earlier in the day about the noise level, but he claimed that since he couldn't hear anything at this site, clear across the entire campground, that there was no issue. She had just returned from the camp host site, but could not get anyones attention. I went with her back to the camphost and knocked on the door. He answered, clearly annoyed by my arrival, and explained to him that the partying was going on beyond quiet hours. Minutes later we saw him driving up to the site and presumably shutdown the party. We didn't hear anymore noise that night.Most campers do not want to police noisy neighbors, so it is one of the duties of the camphost.

Clean sites. Clean pit toilets.

Everything went great and I was 100% satisfied with the experience . The campsite was clean, as were the toilets - due to the hard work of Al the campground host and his compatriot. I really liked the campground and would definitely return again in the future.
