Good place to camp. Too many people riding around on golf carts.

Nice campsite. Was surprised that the day pass is not free for marina parking--campsite hang tag did not exempt my vehicle from getting a notice on the windshield that I owe $5. Would like to see an on-site store. Walking to marina is not pedestrian -friendly in my opinion.

So we was in site 52 for 4 days , Beautiful campground, Host were very friendly!
My 120v plug wasn’t working when I arrived, I had to use power from my friends site 55, I told camp host my issue, the gfi plug was tripped and wouldn’t reset , they come and put a new gfi plug in , but didn’t plug back up my camper! When we returned back my camper was 91 degrees inside! I was very angry, I have a 13 year old yorkie in there which is our child, he was very hot. This was very upsetting to me. If something was to happen to my dog , I’m not sure what I would have done , that was my only issue with staying there also the plug didn’t work when they put new one in

Lovely campground, and the trail was beautiful. The camp host was very welcoming and helpful. We were there only one night, which happened to be Saturday, and it was very busy.
