was always working and cleaning the bathrooms.
Also enjoyed the education from Farrah a Nevada City Ranger who demonstrated wildlife
facts that we could hold and touch.
No bear boxes at the camp but signs of bear presence in the area.
Make sure to bring water. The water pump broke and camp didn’t have any water. No notification was sent out. The closest store is 15 minutes away.
The first thing we noticed driving to our site was that, despite all the signage saying that there was a campfire and coal fire ban due to extremely high forest fire risk: more than half the sites had campfires going. The campsite next to us had a wood fire AND a coal grill going.
The next thing we noticed was the thick cloud of dust that kicked up with the slightest movement. I think some pine needle mulch might help cut back on this.
The swarms of wasp/hornets were also hard to miss. Cooking something? Dive-bombing hornets. Eating something? More hornets. Using the filthy pit toilets? Swarms of hornets (I had to bribe my kids with a promise of 50$ for every sting to get them to use the toilets). Trying to get water from the one spigot that works? Hornets bubbling up out of the earth to swarm you.
We never saw the camp host: they didn't put a stop to the campfire situation, they didn't ask people to stop playing loud music and partying (that went on until 1am), and apparently they didn't clean the pit toilet shelters.
There were also a lot of off-leash dogs.
After less than 24 hours at this site we decided to leave early and will not be coming back.
