Beautifully treed, paved, pull-through site, but...wasps had nested in the water ring and many ground nests nearby. No camp hosts as site has shifted to a "concierge service," overflowing trash cans (hello bears, nothing to see here), dirty bathrooms, and large group site next door made for less than desirable get-into-nature conditions.

Clean and well maintained site with shower, among the best we've been visited. Quite and peaceful throughout our stay. Tom is an accommodating host and always there to help. He rescued and saved our cat when she jumped and stuck 50 feet above on a pine tree. We can not thank enough of him.

Camp Sites are pretty spread out. Restrooms are clean with flushable toilets and running water. You will also have access to hot showers for a small $5 fee (carry exact change). All campsites have a fire pit and a good sized bear proof locker. There is a general store on the water in the Marina (5mins away). Drive up to boat docking station and ask for directions. Highly Recommend this campsite.
