RangerSharon Johnston Park
The campground is fine. This is part of a large park and the park itself is pretty nice. Lots of space. My personal experience has been mediocre at best. When I checked in, the main host wasn't present. Another gentleman came over to have me pay but apparently charged me for a week instead of 10 days...no biggie. I got a call on day 4 from the host that was fairly assertive and that I wasn't supposed to be there. Had to waste my time re-explaining, waiting for the host to check my receipts, and then added on the remaining 3 days. My site (9) was also the only one with a bizarre sewer hookup. It comes out of the ground more horizontally but is also relatively high. So it took an unusual amount of time to get positioned so my drain pipe was high enough to let gravity work, and simultaneously stay far enough away for the hose to have space. Roughly 50 boyscouts came over the weekend and decided it was necessary to blow a bugle horn at the crack of dawn, and several times ended up basically at my door to get a ball or Frisbee, despite the fact that there are several gigantic fields behind the campsites that they could have enjoyed (i am glad they were outside playing, just not so close i could hear them clearly without even being loud). The park closes at dark and uses a padlock, so at about 5pm you have to get out and unlock the gate, walk back around, and then lock it back up every time you go somewhere. Just a bit outdated. We also got a little visit from the FBI during our stay!
