One of my major complaints about the campground (amongst my many...) was the ridiculous fire ring situation. The fire rings aren't already on the campsite; you have to pick them up from the camp office. This isn't really a major issue, except the size of the fire pan that they give you is beyond tiny - closer in size to a pie pan than anything you can really get a fire going in. Here are a couple of pictures of one of the few fires we had while we were here...
