Reservation situation is confusing

The reservation situation here is a bit confusing. Dyrt makes it out to be a group site, which it is, but it can also be reserved as up to nine individual sites if a group hasn’t already laid their claim. It can cause some confusing situations. Aside from that, the area is gorgeous and there is so much to do here. It isn’t too far off the beaten path compared to other campgrounds in the area, so a good solution for a family reunion or something where different campers have different comfort levels. There is potable water and vault toilets available but no hookups.
