2023: wanted to stay there but a large party of guys was holding a bachelor party there for a drunken weekend. Hey DNR- these guys had a HUGE wedding size tent up and were charging guys $$ to get in. No doubt there were women in there doing who knows what! Next day there were beer bottles all over the ground. I’m sure that the other campers were there for the bachelor party and took up the whole loop!!! DNR needs to drive thru the park and see what’s going ON!!!
