We stayed in E 34 and was a good view of the river/bay. Lots of shade, the picnic table and fire ring is behind the spot which was good for us. Our kids liked the playground, especially the tire swing. They have a swimming area, however it was still a little too cool for us to use it. My older daughter liked that she could still get phone reception and use her internet. They have a couple of bath houses, which were in pretty good shape, hot water for the shower, but the drain for it was clogged at the time, & needs more hooks for hanging up bags/clothes. Overall we had a good time & will definitely be back.

Wanted to give a 5 star rating, but I was disappointed to see some campers draining their gray water by hoses out on the ground all weekend without being corrected by park attendant.
