Wouldn't be a bad campground for people with smaller campers. It's close to the water and it has plenty of services available. However if your camper is longer than 31 ft you're going to have issues getting it into The campsite. My only real issue I had with the entire experience was the online booking was a pain. I was trying to reserve to campsites next to each other that would fit the two campers that my group was bringing. And I had to do each campsite as a separate booking. There's not a whole lot of parking at the campground either. If you're going to do tent camping you'll have enough parking at your campsite for a full size pickup and a small sedan. If you're coming in pulling a camper and you have another carload of people there's not going to be any place for them to park.

Overall it's a really nice campground. The only issues I really ever experience is other campers that are inconsiderate. People allowing their dogs to bark at 4:00 in the morning and racing remote control cars up and down the roadway near other people's vehicles and people.

The campground is clean and well manicured. The works and volunteers all seem to enjoy working and interacting with guests.
