The previous campers left the site a mess, tons of water balloons all over beach. Otherwise I loved the size of site and great location. Coulda used a bathroom

Don't wander down the trail, if you do watch where you're walking and don't leave the trail as people have decided to use it as a bathroom. And as they can't be bothered to even walk off the trail they certainly didn't bother to mark it with a stick etc.
