Stayed in space #4. No cell phone service here. T-Mobile customer.

Some of the camp grounds are overgrown with grass- not maintained. The pit bathrooms are not pleasant as it's minimally maintained. There are water sources on almost all campsites. Or one right next to you if you don't have one. The water does not taste too good, but it serves for washing. A bear was on our stuff the first night. I whistled and it ran away. In the morning today, we seen another, casually walking Into the grounds. It didn't seem aggressive or particularly interested in humans. It seemed more curious just to take a stroll and look. Yelling at it to leave worked super easy, but it isn't afraid. There are sufficient trees, but I recommend to bring an easy-up for shade. It's in between two peaks (hills on east and west) so you can sleep in and in late afternoon, you're not being blasted by the sun. It got hot, but it was bearable. Paying is easyeasyJet, make sure you have exact change because it's a drop box with available envelopes. You will hear people flying down the highway during the day. It was a half full occupied place, but one group was definitely heard. They weren't too much though. If a little bit of water ran through the trench, it would have been perfect. Giving it 5 stars for the great time. There are nicer places that are too full, but loved the calm camp feel.
