Went with my son and we found ways to enjoy ourselves but the bugs were relentless, making the ultimate experience a disappointment. We hiked around (stayed on the driveway mostly) and it was a very beautiful walk. Yes, the bugs joined us on the day hikes too. Constantly in the ear or on anything food related, these tiny flys will drive you nuts (it did us). Nights aren't as bad since days the bugs arent as annoying. So our night hikes were bomb. Early morning walks were good too. During our stay it rained (thunder & lightning). My son and I were fine. I did see a number of other people scramble. Most were not prepraired for wind / rain. Things improved once and we resumed our hikes and relaxing at the site. We styed in our tents a good chunk of time just to get away from the nats.
