I had a great time at this park, acorns at all. I stayed near the end of the first loop on site 35. I got used to the banging acorns pretty quickly.

They were very vigilant about people paying not only to camp there, but also for their automobile pass. Even rec-pass holders like myself had to display a separate windshield sticker to confirm I had the rec-pass... and here I thought the purpose of moving the rec-pass to the license plate was so we didn't have to have the windshield sticker anymore.
