East Campground — Hotel in Spring Creek

Positives - flushable bathrooms, showers, running water, fire circle, picnic table, beautiful view of moon and stars. Negatives - it isn’t cheap at $25 a night plus $5 for out of state. I am not sure why out of state people get charged more, I think that is lame. Well apparently we only paid $25, so we were woken up before 9am by a park ranger asking for the $5.

Water also looked to be unsafe to swim or for dogs with the floating green algae. Incredible views and scenery, though. In the middle of the night heard what I believe were sounds of...

It was a nice campground. Bathroom and showers were basic but clean. Camp host was friendly and answered questions we had. We had a beautiful view of the water. We were only there one night but there didn’t seem to be a lot to do. It was very hot the day we were there (over 100 degrees) but I think the whole state was having...
