Several hours later, we awoke to the sound of them drunk-singing again. We waited for them to quiet down, hoping it was just one song, but it continued for another 30 minutes. At this point, it was around 3am. We called the park police again, and this time they asked all the campers for IDs and informed them that there was a no alcohol park policy (which is clearly stated on the camp reservation/confirmation). Several of the drunkies were underage, and were cuffed and carted off. The remaining drunks were told to pack up their camp and leave the park. Ooops.
It was way past the 10pm park quiet time, and these guys weren't just kind of loud, they were singing-at-the-top-of-their-lungs-loud...for hours. The first time we felt bad, but the second time, not so much.

Cost: Campsites $16
Tips: Loop C is the quietest and probably the best for tent camping, Loop D has larger sites for campers/trailers and is a bit more crowded/nosier, Loop B is closest to the entrance with pretty cramped sites. Most sites can easily fit two tents.

Tips
- Bring some kind of bug deterrent - lots of bugs and ticks
- Drinking is not allowed on park premises
- There are no showers, but flush toilets are available. Water is available at each loop, but is not each site
- If you forget anything, or just want some Starbucks, there's a shopping center about 5 minutes away. Just go out of the park, turn right and follow the road for about two stop lights. Center is on the right. Can't miss.
- Lots of paved, moderately hilly roads - great for cycling.
