Filthy and sad

Lake Afton used to be a good family camping and day site. Now, it is filled with campers who take over the shelter houses by parking in them, putting up tarps with duck tape, and living there for months. The trash is everywhere and no one seems to know how to be kind and respectful of others who are camping. I’m afraid to camp there or even go swimming because of the filth and disrespect.
