Little privacy, lots of bugs

This campground is very remote. I believe it has a camp store, but they close very early and were never open. Many of the sites do not have much privacy. We had to deal with neighbors coming in and setting up camp 12 feet from us at 3:30 in the morning with no regards to other campers. The bugs were pretty intense, even in late April. Little red spider looking bugs were everywhere in our car for days after we left there. There were caterpillar cocoons stuck to our tablecloth and tent that had to be picked off. Trying to play cards or eat after dark was near impossible with the mosquitos, flies, and gnats. The bathrooms are dated but functional. They were clean in the evening but when used in the morning, they were coated in bugs. Highlight of the stay here was seeing an armadillo driving into the park.
