Over sized sites with over sized price

Stayed in the first loop at site 3. These are considered double size site and are also double the price. $84/ night for a USFS camp site with flush toilets in a neighboring loop and overflowing trash cans. The campground is walking distance to the waters edge. It has double and quadruple sized sites within cedar bluff and the lupine side has more typical single sites. All sites have a table and fire pit. Not all loops have a designated bathroom building.
The single sites are very tight. I’m not sure anyone with a towable set up could fit, maneuver and set up comfortably. The double size sites are def the way to go, but the price seems way too high for not having hookups or even adequate facilities. Bear lockers were not at every site. This entire area along bass lake is crowded and the visitors do not take care or respect the grounds and lake. Trash and litter can be seen all around. The trash cans over flow and bagged trash was outside the bear safe dumpsters.
The hosts were extremely friendly and helpful.

Awful Experience

Honestly, this was the worst camping experience I've had in a long time, if ever. Nonsensical system with a rude host. Mediocre campground for a lot of money, far apart bathrooms, lots of noise from other campers, the lake, and the road. Also, apparently not an accessible campground...

We arrived late early evening and the sign at the entrance said to choose any open site and someone would be around to collect our fee and that's what we did. The campground is big with multiple loops but no maps or explanation. We chose a site on a deserted loop, set up camp, and waited around before deciding to go on a walk. The host didn’t come around until after dark and was VERY passive aggressive about us not having stopped by the hosts when we arrived. Apparently, the protocol is to seek out the hosts upon arrival and have them explain the campground to you. I have NEVER been to a campground where the guests are expected to search for the hosts upon arrival. If that’s how they had wanted campers to register then the sign should have said so.

Long story (kind of) short we were in a “double” site (there was no apparent signage) which costs over $70 for one night in a campground that is mediocre at best in a loop that was empty… we ended up having to move after dark and were provided with a poorly drawn and explained map of sites we could use. We ended up in a site without even space for a tent.

The icing on the cake was that when we tried to leave in the morning, the road was closed for a 5K race for hours. There was no signage nor had we been warned. I've been traveling with my mother and she described it as "like being trapped in the campground from hell…"

If you camp here know that Lupine and Cedar Bluff, although listed as two separate campgrounds are one and the same except that Cedar Bluff (on the right of the entrance) is all multiple sites and Lupine (on the left of the entrance road) is all single sites. The lake was really low so the beach felt gross and the picnic area across from the campgrounds was poorly maintained and littered.
