Stay at Littcarr campground was an overnight stay while traveling. It was clean, we had site B7 which is paved and close to the bathhouse but you may need to level your rig as sites in loop B tend to have a slope. A couple of minor issues, we were promised the host would bring a campground map, not a big deal but it never happened. Also, the dump station water connection for tank flushing had an unusual fitting attached to it making it impossible to connect to a hose or tank flush connection. This made tank flushing impossible.
