No potable water but the water available can be used for washing dishes. Portable toilets are very clean and since adding an additional 3 this has helped the campers on the south side not have to walk too far in the dark to access them. The campground itself is very lovely with a lot of space between each campsite.

low star due to outage of water during my staing (they placed chem toilet)
cute campsite near sand dollar beach (watch out, parking there require 10$ cash fee, but then you can park also to willow creek picnic area, down the bridge - you have to show the fee fee envelope on your windscreen and put in the fee box at the end of day)
water avaiable
gas price is insine (especialli in Gorda) and ATM was out of service too

The camping trip was enjoyed by everyone, and the host and other campers were wonderful. GS 1 is full of poison oak and not well maintained. The poison oak was growing next to the stairs to the campsite and could not be avoided. Also, the water to the back end of the campground had been shut off, and there was no warning ahead of time. It was difficult to keep enough water by the campsite to put out our fire. Will come back next year, but will avoid GS 1.
