Beware the system

This campground is pretty nice but the walk in system is terrible. We wanted to stay for 3 nights but each they wouldn't allow us to simply pay for 3 nights. Instead each morning we had to drive to the rangers station and pay for the next night. The morning before the 3rd night we were informed someone had beat us to the campsite for that day and even though all of the other walk in sites were empty we had to move sites. We ended up leaving.

They are very strict at this campground so make sure you follow the rules exactly. I saw the rangers give 6 citations in the 2 days I was there.

It is beautiful though and the sites are large. Bathrooms are clean. Showers are 50 cents for 2 minutes but take most of that time to warm up.
