No fresh meat or produce though.  The availability of only 1 kind of potato chips kinda sums it up for me… They do sell a bit of camping gear most notably the iso-butane canisters for cook stoves.  They have a bit of fishing gear too.  The store has an open porch that is a nice place to relax and drink a beer or read a book and mingle with other campers.\n\nThere was a nice new but un-opened store building(6/2021) which should boost the appeal, and perhaps the available merchandise.  I heard tell there was to be a few beer taps too (Woo-Hoo!!!) with indoor seating area.  Lots of outside covered and uncovered seating too.\n\nIn addition to the store there is a Ranger/visitor center with some interesting displays and is staffed with park personnel who are anxious to provide whatever info you may need.\n\nThere at Windigo (again 1/3 mile from the Washington Creek Campground) there is a 'bath house'.  This has flush toilets and hot/cold sinks, and pay showers and pay laundry facilities.\n\nI heard there were a few rustic cabins there at Windigo for rent however I did not see them myself. \n\nI'll post some pics to provide further info.", "reviewRating": { "@type": "Rating", "ratingValue": 5, "bestRating": 5, "worstRating": 1 } }, { "@type": "Review", "author": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Matt S." }, "datePublished": "2018-08-31T20:49:25.526Z", "reviewBody": "Washington Creek was an awesome place to end our trip.
