A very popular place, designed for small campers and small rv's and tent campers. Hard to get a site here but very well run by the campground host.

Bay View was peaceful as always. Camp hosts did a great job keeping the toilets clean and the site was cleaned well upon arrival.

We love coming here every summer. Right on the water which is perfect for a good beach day. Roughly 25-35 minutes from a large city area but also not far from places like the falls. Bathrooms are always spotless, and the campground hosts are extremely welcoming.

The sites are large and the beach is gorgeous. The sites are clearly marked as to what is open and what is reserved and the bathrooms are super clean. This campground is very well managed and the campground hosts are very friendly!

We love Bay View Campground and go there often (as long as we remember to make a reservation six months in advance!).
