Site 40 was a nice site, however we did end up getting some fumes from the restroom at times. Besides that the campground itself is stunning, the bathrooms clean, sites are well enough spaced a part and we really enjoyed the quiet for the first time in a really long time. Will be returning however might try and secure a site further from the restroom.

This is the second year in a row with "no water and no dump station."

We have been going to this camp site for 30+ years and we have never encountered a host as disrespectful as this one. We witnessed first hand her racial profiling the guests next to us. That was very sad to watch, and be a part of.

This is a fantastic place to come and hike or sit on the shore. Just make sure you are prepared for temperature shifts
