First experince at NPS campground

First experience with a national park campground. We were there at a time they were implementing reduced capacity, but that had nothing to do with social distancing. We had two tents and it was a chore to make sure they fit into the assigned area. It had lots of bathrooms and never had to wait to use it. Our first night, we unfortunately were two campsites away from a loud and boisterous camper. Since I had young kids, after they left we probably became the loudest campers in the area. One early morning I saw some Elk moving through the campground at sunrise, and one night there was an Elk just lounging in the nearby open field. Plenty of bear boxes for food was also provided.

There is a private company that comes 5:30-8pm to sell firewood and ice. The old lady we had was crotchety if you tried to pay in anything other than small bills.

While we saw/heard other people talking on their phones we did not have Wi-Fi or cell service (T-Mobile)
