Large sites

most of the sites were large enough for at least 3 backpacking tents. Water source is a nearby stream that may be dried up depending on the time of year. Water was high enough for us to filter but not able to avoid scooping up some sand in the process. Outhouse in the campground, no picnic tables but fire ring provided.
