We were sandwiched between two groups of way more than 6 people at each site and one group had a dog off leash the whole time. I wish the host would have intervened.

Beautiful campsite there's a few cons:
-There are 27 steps you have to take up to get to your campsite. It was exhausting. If you're camping here I'd pack light unless you're in really good shape.
- Also the bathrooms and the water spickets are down the stairs too.
-The bear activity is no joke. Around 4am a bear got into the dumpster and We had a bear come through our campsite and get into all of our stuff even though we didn't have any food out. We had to flee our tent because the bear was so close to our tent
-It was nice to be close to the water but you have to cross the busy 89 to get to it. There is some highway noise.

Just things to consider before camping here.

Pros:
-The scenery was gorgeous the sunrise was unreal.
-It is easy to get to the day use area that has picnic tables and benches
-easy beach access
-no generator noise

Stayed in site 5 and honestly loved it! Right across the street from the lake and a public access dock. Lots of spots to get in the water and also right next to a long biking/walking path. Sure, had to carry stuff up stairs to the site but there is also a path which I found easier. Only one bathroom below but it was kept clean. I would stay again. Site 4 looked great and semi secluded too.

Sites 1-3 are right next to the busy road, you could throw a rock and hit cars. Sites 4-8 are at the top of a long flight of stairs and are all next to each other. We had #8 for a couple nights and there was a neighboring tent set up right over the path to our camp. Luckily, the other folks were quiet at night and didn't party. Water/bathroom is back down the stairs in the parking lot...would consider this campsite "dry". Be prepared to carry water across a parking lot and up a couple flights of stairs. It's a "walk-in" camp location, but quite overpriced for the inconvenience of lugging all your stuff up a hill to camp right next to strangers. Site 9 is probably the best as it sits further back and isn't surrounded by other campers, but it is the furthest to walk to. Lake access across the road is limited to small, rocky alcoves. Seems like you could camp in your vehicle on the nearby access road, but I guess this camp is "ok" if you can't find any other local options. Good things about the campground? The camp host (this year) was nice, the bathrooms were clean, and there was a dumpster.
