The entrance station to the campground contains an Iron Ranger, a self-pay station. Date of visit: Apr 2011 |
|
|
Plenty of sites to choose from upon our mid-April weekday arrival. Here we are on site B-5. I managed to find a hole through the forest canopy for our TV satellite dish. |
|
|
Sites in the B and C loops offer electric hookups. Water can obtained at the bathhouses and at the dump station. Showen here are sites B-12 and B-11. |
|
|
Site B-13. The dogwoods were in full bloom at the time of our visit. |
|
|
We were surprised to see large piles of split wood at nearly every campsite, such as here on B-20. We learned the park recently had a number of standing dead trees removed and decided to leave the wood for campers. |
|
|
The non-electric sites are a tad more rustic without pavement. This is A-19. |
|
|
The non-electric sites are found in loops A, D, E, F and G. Site A-4 is a large sunny site. |
|
|
More stacks of wood in front of sites C-3, C-5 and C-7. |
|
|
Site E-4 had the most wood - one could camp here for a quite a while and not run out of wood. |
|
|
The two sunniest sites are E-16 and E-17. |
|
|
Site E-16 - very nice! |
Site C-23 is typical of the shade vs sun at most sites. |
|
Sites B-16, B-15 and B-13. |
|
There are three modern bathhouses in the campground. Hot showers are in separate individual rooms. |
