Well that's a good point about the crowding, but this campground wasn't crowded other than 1 loop. The campground seemed to be fully open but for some reason all the new arrivals, yes many late in the night were on Loop B where we were. While many of the other loops were very sparsely occupied.
I would have asked to move to another loop that first morning.
The first time by the camp site I pulled around and instinct told me I wasn't in a good spot, but I didn't want to be a "complainer" and tried to make the best of it. At that point I wasn't fully aware of exactly how empty most of the campground was otherwise I would have insisted on a switch immediately.
