This site was very nice. There was a little extra space and seemed roomy. It was level enough we did not have to adjust much. easy walk to the bathrooms, shower house and trash bins. Shower house was very clean. We did not see the park attendants, we tried to check in twice and there was always a note stating they are away. Dump station was not very long, you had to wait in the street if there was more than 2 already in line. The swim area was very clean and sandy. Make sure you have a long water hose, some of them are down from the site a bit.

One of the most beautiful parks. Kept clean and neat with good roads and campsites. Great place to ride bikes, swim and fish. Most sites are full or partial shade and they seem to have improved many sites adding 50 amp connections. One nice large bathroom with roomy showers and a place to dry and dress while still inside a private stall and one smaller older bathroom that is clean but not as well kept. The light is out over the toilets in the women side, one shower out of order, the other has a tile missing with something stuffed in it and both had plenty of room but have to undress and dress in an open area. No TV reception but ATT cell phone and hot spot worked fine, We love this park and will be back.

Love camping here! My family use to camp here every year when I was a kid! Only thing I wish they had was bathrooms and changing rooms close to the beach swimming area. The hill to the bathrooms is pretty steep. The campsites were clean and spacious. The bathrooms are clean and well taking care of. Will definitely camp there again.
