Odd lil campground ... but fine ... but odd

We stayed here for two nights of Tent Camping.   We had a nice time and got to hike a bit and do some kayaking.    They layout is a tad bizarre in my opinion  but we had a nice time.... then the rain came (see video) but that's not the campground's fault.   We left saying that was a fine place but we would not be rushing back.

Pros 

  • Several  hiking trails that are accessible directly from the campground

  • Clean bathroom and clean free showers,  push button operation so you get one  temperature, which was warm

  • There is a dedicated sink for dish washing

  • The camp sites are very well spaced apart so you get plenty of privacy and it's very quiet

Cons 

  • There are only two bathrooms for the entire campground.  We were right next to it so it was fine for us but for many sites it would be **literally  over a ten minute walk. ** I was wondering why the bathroom had a tiny parking lot ... it's so people can drive there because it's so far way from so many sites.  
  • There is one place to put your trash and it's by the main entrance / check in  location.  So to throw out trash after you cook ... you have to drive to drop off your trash.  We walked once to see how it would be and it was about 20 minutes round trip. 
  • You can hear traffic noise from the highway
  • I know you're out doors when you camp and I get that but the mosquitoes here were something out of a soviet lab.  There were super intense and we had to take refuge more than we often do when camping.   We had candles, bug spray and even fog but at times it was no match for these fellas.

  • This is inside our HQ Tent (Eureka Northern Breeze 12).  It does not have a floor so the rain creeps into the ground but the tent did not leak!
