Very clean showers and bathrooms seems like they were cleaned daily. Lots of open grassy areas to play in. A few downsides... no one patrolling at night so loud music after midnight. We were in a tent. Grass was kind of high, needed mowing. Beach was great, clean. A family came with an aggressive dog and got off his leash, so was aggressively running at small children and other leashed dogs. We had to leave.

Campground is clean as well as the shower houses and restrooms. Campsites are very nice. The sandy beach is welcomed to cool off in the hot weather, and it is clean as well. Just an overall good experience. We always enjoy our stay.

Sites are large and the entire campground is well maintained. Plenty of common area. The beach is not to far and is clean and well kept. It’s 6 miles from town, no ice or supplies closer.
