Lousy site but saved by first-come-first serve flexibility

Huge number of sites situated in an open area with some trees. Our reserved site, E172, was on a sloping, crumbling  asphalt pad and we couldn't get our 17' travel trailer level. We almost left but heard by word of mouth that C loop is first come first served so we ended up in C130 on a relatively level asphalt pad close to clean bathroom. No services at the site but clean water spigots are sprinkled around the site. Easy access to lovely hike to falls including stint on Appalachian trail. Clean showers in central location plus inexpensive laundry facility. We ate dinner at the lodge one night and enjoyed our food and the accommodating staff on an extremely crowded evening.
