Disturbing host attitude

Dogs bark day and night,, that damn generator is non stop after 10 pm. Children are rabid rampid thru our campground. The host is severly incompetantly rude. He does not care about the peace and respect of everyone crowded around us. Host is the worst ever experienced.. Shame on you... We had to leave prematurely due to the noise and rudeness

Sitewho cares !! it was all the same

Alpine Loop

Located right off the Alpine Loop. Each site has a grill,fire ring,and table. Some have beautiful views of the lake. Vault toilets were clean and water and soap at faucet at outside of toilet. Camp host was friendly. Road was a little rough to get to. No issue running my generator, sites are spaced well apart. We were in site one which had a great view.
