Love this place and make an annual trek here with friends. Peaceful, clean, and worth the long, bumpy ride up the dirt road.

The first day and night we camped by someone who had a very loud generator which they kept on all evening and several hours in the morning. We were ready to pack up and leave, but then the campground host found another campsite for us further away from this noise (we appreciated her efforts very much). After we moved to the new campsite, a pontoon boat and several jet skies, out on the water, started playing very loud music that echoed throughout the campground and bay. Such a relief when they finally left the bay blasting their music and roaring jet skis.

We had great spots to camp at. Campground was quiet and peaceful.
The camp host was very kind. The outhouses were kept clean and had air fresher pods in all of them to make them smell better then smelling poop all the time when in them. Loved that idea.
