Spot 13 was perfect for a solo camper. dedicated parking, fairly hidden from the main road for the terrain, walkable but not right next to restrooms and garbage and one of the easier and shorter walking from what I could gather while walking by other sites. While the sites dont feel like you are on top of one another you can hear ALOT at night such as being able to hearing your neighbors mattress while they shift in their sleep. earbuds help. otherwise clean, well maintained. got extremely lucky with no wind my week stay. I would suggest a sturdy tent otherwise where this is situated.

The men’s bathroom needs maintenance. The faucets spray water wildly. Only one toilet is working, and it’s been that way since the spring. The wifi was very weak outside of the visitor’s center. A stronger signal would be very nice. The lack of showers is disappointing.
