Great spot, close to hikes and small sandy beaches. Bear lockers available, but the main dump is uncovered which makes me think bears are not the norm. Right next to the road so cars can be heard but it really wasn't an issue. A perk: town is close for last minute necessities.

A tough noisy bully group had two sites. Yelling, argument at 4:00am while walking by other sites, a kids car with booming music and irritating horn. I felt it could be dangerous for the female camp host to confront them. Cant RangersIntervene or sheriffs? The campground is beautiful but horrible campers ruin it.
