Nice campground but the website has no where to determine what a 2nd car on the campsite would cost. Also the concessionaire has in their contract to not accept the America the Beautiful Senior pass for day use at the entry gate although it still gets the campsite at a discount.

Spot 36 is not an accessible site, though it states that it is. The ground was fairly level and it is right next to a group spot, which was thankfully not reserved for our weekend. It is also right next to the highway so you have traffic noise all day, though it does die down at night. The campground was taken care of and the hosts were all very friendly. We got in line to dump at the station there, and that is when we saw the sign that says they charge $15 to dump there. That's tacky.

The staff were friendly, however, the smell coming from the bathrooms was unbearable at times. If the wind shifted the right way then the entire campsite was unpleasant to be in. Aside from the smell, I’d recommend.
