Site 65 had a good length driveway. But some sites aren’t able to accommodate bigger rigs. I did a full walk through video showing each site on my YT channel outdoormary, watch the video so you can find the right site for you.

Great place to camp and clean bathrooms. Very nice camp host. Wonderful places to hike close by. Sunnyside Restaurant and beach area are right across the street. Spaces are well spaced and you are not as close to a neighbor. Camping here is well worth it.
