Our spot (040) was REALLY small and they pack the spots in pretty tight. Our spot had one option to pitch a small tent and it was pretty close to our neighbors. Other than that, very nice campground. Very nice hosts although I couldn’t get wood on my arrival around 6:30.

Great location. Really nice campground and the people who work there really nice. The only downside is the bathrooms. The redid the outside if the buildings, but the insides are old and the toilets leak and a lot of the toilet were out of order.

Spacious, shaded sites surrounded by forestry and very nice hosts. Walking distance to a fancier general store (essentials, artisanal items, gelato, deli counter), 1-2 restaurants, and a small pebbled beach.

Nice campground. Firewood is very expensive. Frequent bear activity. The tiny beach across the street is actually awesome for rock hounds. Very tiny and crowded and a number of inconsiderate people setup their canopies and leave them there overnight.

Loved the campsite, bears and all : ) restrooms are super clean and maintained throughout the day!! even though there are no showers there, really liked that there are some 10 minutes away at Meeks Bay. We brought bikes and scooters for the kids and they had a blast. We did fishing in nearby stream, hiked eagle rock and did some mountain biking on near by trails with the teenagers!!! Did the lake and beach, awesome as well!! We were a big group of 6 different campsites and we were able to accommodate all of us kinda close to each other. Thank you.

Quiet peaceful campground for the most part. One guy about 19 kept riding an electric MOTORCYCLE around~~making "laps"~~thru the campground. THAT got to be annoying. He was going faster than the posted 'speed limit'. We mentioned it to the 'host' in the check-in building & was basically told he could not do anything about it.
