Nice FS CG with the beginning of the South Fork of the Arkansas River runni

We have a 36 ft Class A with a Cherokee Trailhawk tow and stayed in site 28 for 3 days in mid June. We couldn’t get fully level, but it was a good site otherwise. The sites are fairly nice for a FS CG and very well spaced. Some sites are fairly level, but others will present some challenges. The camping fee with one of the park passes is very reasonable. There were only 3 other campers when we arrived and only a handful through the weekend. As is apparently our lot in life, as soon as we camp at altitude a cold front moves through, the temps drop and it gets rainy and/or snowy. Snowed about 1.5 inches Saturday morning. One of the upstream branches of the South Fork of the Arkansas River runs right past the site as well. There is some occasional road noise from US 50, but isn’t that noticeable. AT&T coverage was decent, with 2 Bars of LTE service and speeds up to about 3 MB/s. We had a clear view of the southern and northern sky, so we were able to get DISH coverage on all three western satellites at our site and Starlink had speed up to 9 MB/s.
