Always primitive camp on the East side which limits the size and noise of neighbors. No 5th wheel in their right mind would attempt it. I used to camp in the campground until the generators, porta-mansions and road parasites took over. 8am-10 pm (and beyond) are quads and other screaming, dust raising road lice, relentlessly going back and forth on the county road and through the campground. You can easily follow the course of these Mad Mad wannabees between Albany and the dam by the clouds of dust rising above the forest. John Muir and Theodore Roosevelt would be enraged to see what has become of our wilderness. Shameless, thoughtless, selfish. The Forest Service should intervene, but won't. But, like all things, it will self-correct. Someone will hurt themselves and others, and they will be sent packing. Peace and the natural balance will be restored. On a brighter note, our tenting neighbors were so kind and generous in sharing space and resources with us. We had a beautiful spot near the reservoir, active fishing and plenty of time and bourbon in the hammocks, s'mores and Frito pie, and good conversations.
