The ranger station is never open and I found it difficult to communicate and get information even arriving during their operating hours. I actually didn't figure out the tag system until the next day when I walked back to the ranger station and finally saw the signs directing me to a paper tag stuck on an information board. Also, they had the canoe launch closed with warnings that the river was too high even though it was only at 62' and their own sign said it wasn't dangerous until 65'. And I still couldn't even find a ranger to ask about it. The only reason we chose this campground was to use our kayak. Very disappointed. Doubt we'll be back.
