I got there a little early on a first come first serve spot and the park service admin was amazing she helped me locate the spot and get all checked in. The bathrooms were clean and the site was well kept

Great area. Lots of space between spots with tons of mature trees. Some spots can be tight to back into with the wood barricades but we made it work. Jet powered flush toilets, with the noise. Most spots have some sort of slope to them. Our picnic table was sinking into ground squirrel holes. We had a 25' trailer in spot 32.
