Spectacular views, not so much the sites

First off let me state this was an amazing trip. Renting a boat and taking it on an adventure towards an island was something new. I was not expecting Campsites to be amazing, maybe just plotted and Maintained alittle. When we got there we checked in and were told by the worker "this is my home and I expect you to treat it with respect."  I can only imagine what this person's actual home looked like after dealing with these Campsites. 

There were no leveled space whatsoever (except for one platform per site...but where would a second tent go? On the horrible ground beside it. These sites have not been maintained in probably 20 years at least. The wooden porta pottys or whatever you call them were grotesque. 

And the raccoon situation...was bad. We were literally bombarded with a group of raccoons each night. It was bad. 

We had sites 3-7 and they were all the same. Honestly I will never go back here just because of how horrible the sites were.
