Not a very good experience. Beach was washed away. Broken glass along shore and campers were loud and obnoxious

Power was out when we arrived and a work trailer was in our space. We had to wait for it to be moved and the power to be restored. Bathhouse showers were in need of cleaning.

My family and I had a great stay. Showers were clean and had good hot water. There does need to be better signage about swiming. The signs make it look like you cannot swim but later we assumed it ment you just could not swim on the loading ramp. We asked around but no one could give us a good answer.

Enjoy the area and return every year.
Sites need attention. Especially grading and gravel to manage rain runoff.
Men’s shower had a very moldy curtain missing most of the hangers.

Nice, small, quite campground. It's not a nice beach. And I wouldn't advise putting anything bigger than a fishing boat in on the ramp. A lot of rocks and debris.

The campground seems like it's barely being maintained. Sure it's mowed and some dead trees were finally cut down but the electrical posts look old and dated. The campsites, especially the fire pits are not cleaned out between campers. The fish cleaning stations were all shut down. No information was posted on the campsite posts. The additional water spigots added a while back were certainly handy.
