This park HAS THE WORST RESTROOMS we have ever been into. Poorly maintained(Shower curtains that were tattered, black fungi on the walls, looked as though they hadn't been serviced in a month-Both Bath houses)
We left early because of this. Thie sites were very good but not enough to overcome the AWFUL bathhouses.
Either update and repair or close the park before someone catches a disease that could prove tragic.

We have camped at hundreds of Federal, State and Private Campgrounds. Van Pugh and Old Federal are always the best.

Felt like private beaches throughout all the sites. Bath house was super far away from everything. The host Will was super nice and helpful. Firewood sold at entrance gate. Entrance is past a REALLY nice neighborhood. I would stay again for more nights.
