Bathrooms didn't have fully working faucets. Many crying babies. Water was freezing cold (good for fish not humans). Not much to do here.

While there little privacy there were very few people camping at the time. Plenty of wildlife to look for and listen too. I would def go back and bring a kayak to explore further
