Would give 5 stars up until 8yrs ago

We have been coming here for over 20yrs. The last 8yrs things have changed. The compost toilets are unbearable. We were told this week that they are not being used as compost toilet anymore because of funding. It's literally so bad you can't breathe. The smell is so bad of ammonia that for about 30 mins after you leave the bathroom thats all you can smell as it stays with you that long. And there were so many flys coming out of the toilets my daughter cried because she didnt want to go in there. Also this year there is a huge mouse issue. We had our food locked up and they still got in our camper. We put a bucket out with a stick so we could relocate them away from our camp and in 2 days caught MORE than 50 mice- that was just in 1 site (we had 4 sites) Our neighbors had mice climbing on them in their bed and ended up awake all night. The camp host came by and yelled at them to be quiet because their kids kept screaming. It's made us seriously rethink coming back again next year. Lastly, up until about 5yrs ago it's been peaceful, now drunk people flock there and try jumping across the top of the falls. We've seen them fall in and have to hold on to logs so they don't go over the falls. They bring full size bbqs out at the top of the falls and party. It really sucks what social media and tv has done by advertising the "Hidden gems of Washington" it ruins special places for those of us who use this beautiful place to come and relax.
