Great campground. Mostly used by locals on weekends, very quiet on weekdays. Clean bathrooms and large showers with plenty of hot water . 4 bars of 4G LTE on ATT and Verizon

Very well taken care of small campground. Off the beaten path for sure, with a long winding narrow road to get there, but almost, if not all sites were on the water.
Had a pleasant stay there.
