RATS at Sweetgum Loop Host Site

We arrived at the Sweetgum loop 181 after making reservations. Sites nicely spaced, but open view to all campsites, so no privacy. No lake view from this loop. Level asphalt site with metal picnic table and unusually high sided metal fire pit. No site grill. Screaming kids running through the campground until 10am made our campfire time less enjoyable. During our Thursday, Friday and Saturday night stay, we noted the women’s restrooms were without toilet paper most of the time. We spoke to the camp host about it and they said that restroom maintenance was performed by a contractor, not the camp host. There are two camp hosts in this Sweetgum loop and the host in site #11 has a hideous collection of STUFF everywhere– around the site, into site #13, out onto the side of the campground roadway and even continuing behind the site into the woods! Looked like a junkyard complete with numerous rats we saw running around the mess. Obviously, USDA permits this as we saw this same collection of stuff and junk at one of the camp host sites in another Cagle campground loop. This kind of hoarding mess makes the entire campground look hideous not to mention the unhealthy conditions presented by rats running about!
