T Lutz : 2 on 12/12/2024 6:37 pm We camped in D loop and were not at all impressed with the camping facilities. The sites are very close together, very close to the road and offer no privacy at all. We also had the pleasure of the attached view for our stay, making it look more like a trailer park than a campground. I've never stayed in a state park that would have allowed a camper to hang a full load of laundry at their site. Very unfortunate.
