Crampton has intermittent water and the water at the park is a little far away down the hill. The shelter and surrounding tent sites are not all that nice.
Ed Garvey - Last time I was there a couple years ago, the line was broken and you needed to hang your own food - bring a line. Water way down hill. Privy.
