Re: showers & Bathrooms

I was at the campground Feb2007, and I assume not much has changed since then.

With that said, I'll try to describe the facilities:
1) The showers are not private--they consist of a concrete wall with shower heads projecting from the upper wall. The showers do not always work--I think they do this to conserve water (I think they turn the water on at 4PM for a couple hours, and maybe in the morning for a couple hours). Some days the showers work continuously. Be prepared to use a gallon jug of water to wash if you're left high & dry...
2) The toilet houses can be unpleasant. I think each camp area (A thru E) has a toilet facility. Each facility has four small toilet rooms. The light bulbs sometimes don't work--so bring a flashlight. Toilet paper is not provided. This situation becomes really unpleasant when the campgrounds are crowded (esp. holy week, maybe President's Day weekend). Again be prepared to wipe the seat with rubbing alchohol or something. Each toilet does have running water (which almost always works). Some toilets have low pressure. I've seen bugs, lizards, etc lurking in these facilities.

So that's the deal. If you've frequently used an out-house or porta-john, these facilities will probably not bother you too much. Monk would not use them, though.
