Around the campground

A wider view of loop C. The pull-through sites on the outside of the loop have 30 amp hookups, while the back-in sites inside the loop have only 20 amp boxes.

Loop A has 20 amp hookups and seemed to be primarily for tents and possibly pop-up campers.

Loop E is the other loop that provides 50 amp hookups.

There is a small playground for the kids.

The bathhouse is pretty primitive and could be cleaner. The free hot showers have a pull-chain to control the water.

In many years of camping, I don't recall ever seeing a sign like this. I guess there are some folks who need to be reminded of the proper protocol.
