We stayed at spot 27 which has electric and water hook up. Was nice and woody! Heavy rains had a lot of the trails closed or under water so couldn't go to many walking/hiking trails. Ticks were everywhere!
Campground attendant was nice and pleasure to speak with. Wishing him a speedy recovery to his broken left hand!!! And water lines repaired in a timely manner...
Very nice and quiet area away from the busy city sounds and lights!

The bathrooms weren't stocked. The entire time we were here the bathroom did not have hand soap, on the last day there was no TP and two of the toilets were clogged. There was a nest of spiders in one of the showers, 3 of which attempted to come down while I was showering which didn't end well for them. The site itself is on top of a hill with a steep incline and was a little scary especially with a child. The beach is not technically a part of the campground but ran by emerald isle which I found to be trashed, cigarette butts littered the sand, people were smoking out in the water and never swam back to put them out so I'm sure they are floating in the water somewhere. I'm not one to complain but this was probably the worst campground I've been to.

A great place to stay, the host was great. The only con would is that Verizon didn't work unless we went to the top of the hill. But I found it nice that sit around and talked instead of being on their phones the whole time. (T-Mobile) worked very well there.
