Reserve in cooler months to avoid flies

Visited in late August. Campsite was easy to get to and find, the last several miles into the campground is a single-vehicle paved road. There’s room to pull to the side for opposing traffic. Our site (#21) was clean and spacious. The host was friendly. All the reviews are true, there are sooo many flies here, they swarm you especially in the heat of mid-day. A mosquito net was very helpful in keeping them out of our canopy. They’re mostly an annoyance and clear away when temps lower at night. The sites were spaced far enough apart where we did not get bothered by noise from neighboring sites. Most sites can fit 2 cars back to back, but we had a 3rd car with a rooftop tent and the host was kind enough to allow us to park within the site in the dirt. There doesn’t seem to be a bear problem since there are trash cans throughout the grounds with easy-to-open lids. Overall, it’s a nice campground to get out of the city for a weekend but in the summer, there isn’t much to see or do other than sit out with some cold drinks and let the flies swarm you.
