This location is beautiful! However- it gets very windy and hot!! The afternoon wind took out and destroyed our canopy which made for a miserably hot stay, as there are no trees for shade. As an experienced camper- this place seems ideal for someone passing through with an RV or camper to rest for a night. I couldn’t imagine staying longer than a night or two. We left a day early due to the lack of shade and the overbearing heat.

No creek, no notice boat ramp is closed and no access to water for boat or kayak as the water table is extremely lacking. Barren, no shade; basically a parking lot with numbers for spots. Very misleading name and additional oncoming 65mph wind storm storm made it unsafe to utilize even for an hour. This was to date the worse quality location I’ve visited if u r someone who enjoys camping. Terrible construction delays coming from the west allows limited vehicle access 8-9am, 12-1pm and 5-6pm. A huge waste of time that I understand will continue for 2 more years.

I simply used the campsite as an overnight stop. It was very satisfactory for my purposes.

no shade. Lots of bugs, road noise. If you are looking for a place to stop for the night this is the place for you.

We have camped for 2 different sites. 1A and 5A. 1A is a very good campsite with excellent view. It was a beautiful night for star gazing. Next day, 5A was next to the restroom. The restroom light was on throughout the night and we were not able to see the clear sky. That was disappointing. This campsite would be too hot in the day as there are no trees around.

Quiet place to stay with a nice view. No showers and usually too cool to take a "Coke bottle" bath, but nice for a stop along the way. Our host this year was extremely cordial and knowledgeable.

We stayed at site #9 and the ants were horrible to the point we couldn't be outside without them crawling all over you. The location of the site is wonderful and would love to go back when the ants are not as bad.
