Arrived at 3am on Friday morning - we were 3rd in line. Managers of the camp are amazing - check in was simple and efficient. I do have to say there was 20+ cars in line behind us - only let in a handful of cars. Lots of people were turned away. Camp sites are very different - ones with a view of the mountains have no shade / ones with shade have no view. We got out of the car around 6am - took a walk through the site. You can see what date everyone is leaving - I highly advise that you write down sites that you want to camp in. Managment walks down the line of cars and you get to pick with the site then. We got site #46 and it’s a dream. Not too close to any other sites and has An amazing view but no shade - close to trash, entry way, showers (very nice / hot water / $4.50) and bathrooms with out being too close. Perfect proximity. Also - don’t buy the fire wood from the visitor center - it’s treated or not dry - absolute smoke show. FULL DISCLOSURE: very popular - green foot central.
