The beach access was terrible and required walking through sites to get there. And the people on jet skis were not following laws- speeding through no wake zones and almost hit my children multiple times. When we called police, they failed to show up. I’d never camp here again.

Great campground. Not a lot of tree shade so bring something for shade. The camp host keeps the place in tip top shape and is very accommodating.

It was a beautiful campground. I hate the amount of flys that were in the toilets but other than that I was ok. The camp host was a bit off putting.

Listed as a pull thru on rec.gov, it is not. It is large and somewhat flat but the table and bear box are located far from the pad, almost in neighboring site which made it awkward and unusable. Be aware zero shade and the winds blow directly making the awning useless. If available, book site #2 big shade tree

I arrived in the afternoon & I liked my campsite, but it had no shade & was going to he quite hot in the morning. Since I had an 2-night reservation, I asked the camp super if there was a place where I could be in the shade (out of the heat of the next day’s sun). He suggested a site that did not have a reservation for the next nite. It had a huge tree that I managed to park underneath- barely (& carefully) squeezing under the bows. It was still really close to the water & the shade made all the difference in the world. I really appreciated the willingness to let me move my little 21’ RV to the shady site. My dogs really appreciated it too. TY
