When I arrived , the campsite next to me was using my site as well. They have overflowed into my reserved site.They had multiple cars parked in our driveway as well as all of their recreational equipment, paddle boards, etc. There was no camp post to help solve the problem. When I asked the campers next to me nicely if this was their gear.Their reply was aggressive Yeah, so?

Site # 20.
This is a larger than the normal site. It seemed like a double site: 2 picnic tables, 1 bear box, 1 fire ring, room for an extra car and more people which was nice. Very close to the pit toilets, but couldn't smell them at the site. They were cleaned one of the days we were there, a large amount of people had to use these 2 because the ones down the road weren't open.
Need to bring your own drinking water.
Although there is water available at a tap nearby, we used the water ONLY for putting out the camp fire at night & morning, don't drink it.

The sardine lake area is a extremely beautiful place. Campgrounds were clean. There were two concerning issues; there was a group of Russian individuals camping next to us. They were completely irresponsible with their campfire. They overloaded it at least 2 feet above the top of the camp fire ring , and we’re having fires on the ground by at their tents were close by. Campground hosts did clean the campgrounds, but did not seem to do much about policing. I personally spoke with the group and informed them about the extreme fire danger of the area, and that they needed to watch their fire. They had left a smoldering fire in their pit during the day the day before. There also was one family that had a dog that kept running around off leash. I had spoke to the campground hosts in conversation, and they were a very nice couple. Suggestion would be that they need to police the campground more. I Specifically like camping in campground with hosts, as I feel safer as hopefully they are keeping an eye on things. It was disappointing to say the least that there was some bad behavior by campers.
