Loved this campground! The site was nice and spacious and clean. The firepit was a little close to the trees which was worrisome, but it wasn't windy. The swimming area is really nice, but a little small. It wasn't crowded at all. The location is nice an removed, but also just a 15 minute drive if you need something. Really beautiful area. The bathhouse was nice and clean also. The pull-through dump station is an awesome bonus and conveniently located on your way out. We had a fantastic trip! Definitely will come back!

Enjoyed my space and time, hiked to the beach and enjoyed the views. I like the fact there are campground host but when I pulled up to my site there was a campground host with an RV set up next to my site. Not the best view to look at when I booked the site. My decision to come to this side of the loop is to avoid the RV's and large truck set ups to enjoy the scene and nature.

Camp sites not cleaned. Fire pits no cleaned. Worst toilet paper ever (if you can call it tp)! Shower was is very old and out dated.

Clean bathrooms. Large and spacious campsites with plenty of shade. Nice beach and loads of critters running around the woods.

Had very noisy neighbors, barking dogs, left outside speakers on and played music all night long. Greatly affected my ability to enjoy sitting outside. Luckily i was able to enjoy 2 days of peace when they left.

Good overall but perplexed as to why my showers were cold when no one else was using them but others reported having hot showers. Also, one of the trails was closed but nowhere did it report this. Luckily, i went around the caution tape and enjoyed what is left of the trail.

I love this location. Convenient with very private sites many of which are very near the water.
