No Cyberworld...AND LOVING IT
Sorry for not keeping up with the blog. But i was completely disconnected from cyberworld. There was no texting, no internet, no cell phone service....we had to just enjoy the outdoors...and that's we did.

“ bring your own soap ”
Reviewed Dec 18, 2011
I know it's a national park campground and so its bare bones. But seriously this campground wins the bare bones award.
No hand soap in the bathrooms, no hand dryers, no hand sanitizer... nothing.
We paid $14 to basically park the camper and flush the toilet twice. (once each)
