Campground is beautiful! Some spots had more privacy than others between campsites. The bathrooms were very clean. But, we did pick up some mice and if you google it, it seems to be a thing. I get we are outside in nature but also I’ve been car camping and in my camper van for years without any issues. My guess is they joined us at the campground but it could have been at the hot springs resort where we parked for maybe 2-2 1/2 hours. And, my neighbor told me her friends also got mice there too!
