Are they worse some years than others?..I remember they're being very bad one year when we were at the WL the last week of May. It isn't just the campground. We were being biten by the pool, and couldn't sit out on the balcony without them landing on us. Remember the life guard staff saying they seemed to be especially bad that year.

If you aren't seeing the yellow flies it is because they are having a feast on my legs. I've stopped sitting out by my RV except mid day when they aren't as bad. I got over half a dozen huge welts on my legs from those blasted flies..on my first day here.

I feel your pain! We tried counting mine and came up with about 27 bites - then I had a reaction and started getting welps where the flies couldn't get to!! I could NOT go outside the camper unless if I was constantly moving - as soon as I stood still or sat down I got swarmed.
We googled how to relieve the itching and one idea was to rub an onion on the bites - I was willing to try ANYthing at that time and I was surprised the onion worked! They seem to dry up quickly. Another idea was lemon - I actually used this idea after visiting a restaurant - that was INSTANT relief! Good luck.
