What Guests Are Saying
Sunlight Bay offers a great location for camping and fishing, with friendly campground hosts and well-equipped sites. However, many reviews highlight issues with cleanliness in the bathrooms and showers, as well as maintenance problems like tall grass and debris. While some guests enjoyed their stay, the overall lack of facility upkeep led to dissatisfaction for several visitors.

It was a nice quiet cozy weekend. The set up of the campsites are a little different than I’m used to but not enough to worry about.

My wife said women’s showers barely even got warm and ran about 15 seconds then shut off. One area with multiple family camping had people driving in and out of camp in loud trucks past 10pm and camp hosts never said anything to the people playing country music at 11pm. I know it’s camping but it’s also respectful to others to NOT be LOUD, up late and LOUD and park rangers should pass through checking on issues.
