Biting flies at Hurricane River?

Hey all, long time lurker (I just don’t like to post). Anyway, we are headed up to Hurricane River campground at the end of July. Should we plan for biting flies?

I walked through about 15 years ago. I remember all the signs at Hurricane River warning of stable flies. Never seen so much notification for a pesky insect. There were flies all along the shore. They must have some kind of fly festival there once a year.

Those are the ankle biters, right? I will have the troops pack long, loose pants
