Additional comments:

Laundry - Located at the main bath house

Showers - The pay showers are located at the entrance to the campground. Use the showers located in the bathrooms for hot water. The showers in the separate building might not have any. Bring quarters or get them at the change machine. $1.75 gets you 5.25 minutes of water.

There was no cell service on our campsite but up at the lodge we had no problems getting a strong signal. The Great Room is open 24/7 and there are comfortable chairs and outlets along the walls. There is also free wifi that's usable but it's not blazing fast.
