Moose watching?

Just 5 spots on this loop campground, with the water pump in the middle. You are fairly close to the road, but it is quiet at night and there is a little creek running not too far away to provide some white noise. All sites have nice shade and hammock trees. Vault toilet is clean and stocked. Go up the road a bit and check out the Grand Vista, especially at dawn and dusk. Maybe you will get to see a moose feeding down along the creek.
