Hopefully some of the Baxter Rangers have improved their attitude towards visitors.
A little more of a welcoming attitude and friendliness would go a long way at BSP.

Nothing but positive interactions on the three trips I’ve made to BSP this year.

Same with my one trip this year and probably 30 or 40 trips before. The only complaints I have seen or heard of are folks trying to take exception to the rules which can be complex.

Another very satisfied customer here, and I live out of state.

Amen to to that. And there is always an annoying minority who want to bend the rules to their own needs and wants.

As a guest and occasional Park vol, I have found the staff friendly, professional and helpful.

Let it rest.

I didn't make it up there this year, but I am glad to hear good reports coming out of Baxter. It is such an easy problem to fix.

BSP is just horrible all around. Very terrible place and the worst people. Stay away!!!
