My campsite was lovely, set in its own wooded alcove, well separate from my neighbors. I had to back in, but there was just enough room. The bed of the site was gravel, and there were a picnic table and a fire ring available.
My only problem is that the park did not provide wifi service to the section of the campground where I was parked. None. Zip. Nada. Another section was supposed to have wifi, but when I walked over to try to connect my GPS, it was so slow and tentative as not being worth the bother.
It's a very popular park, though, and I suppose that most visitors accept being out of touch as part of the camping experience.
