they triple booked our campsite. i even stopped by the visitor center at the park entrance to confirm our reservation and ranger said we were good to go. had to love to campsite 002 and luckily no one showed for the first night. ended up not even staying the second night because the one other group had poor campground etiquette. no fires were allowed and we were not notified before or during reservations

Wonderful semi private (two-site) national campground. Clean facilities, contained fire pits with cooking grates, potable water. Both campsites have ample flat and protected areas for tents as big as 6-8 persons. There is a paved path for wheel chair (or walker) access to the overlook.
It rained for over an hour during our stay but no issues with flooding tent areas. Each campsite had two bear boxes. The picnic tables and benches were in great shape, not all scarred up by "nature lovers" compelled to leave their names or initials carved into them.
Unrelated to the campground, the signage at the lookout could use a little TLC, if you visit, pack a soapy rag and a little water to carry on the .23 mile hike to wipe it off, future visitors will be grateful.

Very disappointed.
No sign at turn for campground.
No way to get anywhere near level
Description given by “visitor center “ staff not even close to accurate.
Can not believe that this park does not let a person in a van/camper stay at any of the other campgrounds, even though their description list ok to park 2 vehicles at individual campsites. Which means, according to this, only 2 sites are available for a person not tenting.
