Our stay was lovely but quite windy. The campground was clean, the restrooms were clean & the campsites at a good distance from one another. Everything seemed well-maintained.

It clearly says up to 2 vehicles and up to 8 people at the sight on the reservation. Two vehicles and the campground host charged me $8 for the second vehicle per day??? No receipt, no nothing, just a cash transaction...probably pocketed the money.
