Sites Way Too Close Together

I will give prospective campers the information I wish I had before I arrived.  

First off, the Good--the campground is in a beautiful valley at the foot of Mt. Shavano.  Another positive is that the current campground hosts are very conscientious and go out of their way to make the campground homey.

But the Bad--the campground is tiny and it is busy!  Summer weekends are packed and non-reservable.  We arrived at 11AM on Friday morning and all the sites except one were already taken for the entire weekend.  With the exception of a half dozen sites around the outside edge of the campground, the sites are way too close together.  In the center, there are about eight sites that occupy a space that should not hold more than three.  Tent pads are no more than 15 feet apart in this center area, and you can clearly hear every sound your neighbors make. There is also very little visual screening between many of the sites.  The table for one of the riverside sites was nearly in the road due to the narrow depth of that site.  If you are not lucky enough to get one of the more spacious outside edge sites, you are better off camping elsewhere.
