Campground is ok. Really far from everything and look out for ticks at nearby beaches. Camp ground and the closest gas station only takes cash so don’t depend on using your card in a pinch. No cell service. No working sinks in bathrooms, they are all turned off. Bring your own portable shower. Skunks run the campground at night. Lock all your food in your car.

Great location. However, due to its remoteness, it's a free-for-all as far as lack of rule enforcement and what to expect from those you are camping nearby. Be wary.
