We stayed 3 nights over Labor Day weekend. I thought it would seem more crowded. Even though the campground was full, there was plenty of room. There were some groups that came in late or didn't know what "quiet time" meant, but for the most part the people were considerate of others and friendly.

The campsites are roomy and drain well. We had rain every day (Monsoon season) but didn't have any issue with puddles in the site. There are permanent fire rings and aluminum picnic tables.

The restrooms have flush toilets and are clean. There is water at the restrooms as well as a sink that can be used to wash dishes (but not bodies or muddy gear).

Check in/out was easy and the ranger was friendly.

Camping in the park makes it nice as a base station in the park as you don't have to worry about parking.

There are lots of deer that wander through the campsites and will eat any food left out or tear into trashbags that aren't secured. We saw this happen in a nearby campsite. The deer are not afraid of people but will attack if you threaten the fawns. We saw a group of 4 does and 4 fawns and another group with 2 does, a fawn, and a young 4 point buck, as well as many other deer throughout our stay.

We had a lovely time. Verizon signal was decent.

We were in sites D19 & D20 so there were no other sites behind us but the group site was close by (the noisy ones).
