Had an RV site. Spot was slightly unlevel and had broken pavement by where the door was so it was a huge step up and down out of the RV. Otherwise, the site was decent and quiet. It would be great if other campers didn't walk through sites though. There are plenty of paths to go around. The major complaint is the showers. When you pay $5 for a shower, the curtain should close all the way so your stuff doesn't get wet, there should be hooks on the walls to hang your belongings, but mostly importantly, hot water would be great. Even moderately hot. My shower was lukewarm at best. It was definitely invigorating. When we were here, most of the visitor centers were closed, which there was no notice of. We did enjoy the drive and the hikes. They do offer gas in the park, which isn't super expensive compared to the surrounding town. I'll happily pay an extra .30 a gallon for the convenience.

Stayed here election night. Restrooms are heated and clean. Campground was in great shape, even with leaves falling constantly.

Major Issues

The sites are quite close. We stayed in D loop and needed to use our levelers for our van. The bathrooms were clean when we got there and didnt get cleaned in the two nights we stayed. There was a large youth group that was near us the first night and the bathrooms could have used a cleaning. I liked that one could hike right from the campground (we hiked to Lewis Falls). The laundromat is small and one of the best we have used on our trip. It was very clean and not expensive. The showers were $5.00 for ten minutes so two people could easily shower in that time. And the hot water went on right away and they were very clean.

Campground is clean. Bathrooms are easily accessible. There is a store and gas station which make it very convenient so that you dont have to leave the park. Close to hiking trails.
