Don’t bother

Seriously. Don’t bother with this place. It is a disorganized mess. The office closes at two in the afternoon and when I arrived at five, there was no one there and there were no instructions what to do. There was a box in front of the office that says “deposit”, again with no instructions. The campsites are not marked. I only found the camping area because there was a sign that said rules for campers. I set up camp and was then confronted by a grumpy old guy (park Ranger?) who asked if I had a reservation. I said, “your website says first come first serve.” He grumbled again and said I needed to put $10 in the deposit box. All I had was a $20 but I put that in anyway. Also, it may or may not be an issue but they lock the front gate at 6 PM. The guy asked me if I would be leaving before eight in the morning and I said yes so he did leave it unlocked so I could get out. One last point, the campsite is very near to interstate 10 and it was really loud all night. I would say just don’t waste your time here.
