Bathrooms were very very clean. Spots were very close to neighbors but thankfully as we met some nice people and we did see a few bears. Bears didn't bother us just wanted to food. Make sure to use the bear box and put everything away when not eating. Literally cooked, ate, cleaned, and put everything away in the bear box when we were not eating or cooking. Threw trash away frequently. Host was great too. Bears seemed docile and calm and they did walk freely through the camp site. Would definitely go back. Place was beautiful and clean

Excellent proximity to the water and beautiful surroundings. Showers were unreliable, however. Many didn't work and when they did, you sometimes had freezing water. Also, lots of bears; so be diligent about leaving nothing out even when it is early evening and lots of people are still about.

DO NOT STAY HERE!!! First off, all staff leave at 5PM, if you arrive after this time you will not be able to check in. After unpacking, we noticed that the refrigerator, stove and plug outlets were not working. Tried to notify staff, but they had all left for the day and there was no phone number to call for assistance. After multiple attempts of notifying staff the next day and our food about to spoil due to not having a working refrigerator, the maintenance man came by to look at around 2PM. The staff knew that there was issues with the cabin and did not make any attempt to correct the situation. The stove is so outdated that it did not heat up enough to even cook anything.

Beach and facilities were excellent! Campsites are fairly small and close together with not much foliage etc for privacy, but the setting made up for it. Main issue was the bears! I have never seen such a bad bear problem at a campground. Would probably help to have clearer signs reinforcing bear etiquette and making people aware of how bad the issue is, or a bigger ranger presence to make sure people are being responsible with food, coolers etc.
