Beautiful campsite with unobstructed and elevated view overlooking a marshy bay. Spotted a dozen bird species and watched a great blue heron "frogging". We were there on the night of the "low strawberry moon" and the reflections across the lake viewed from our site were breathtaking. This is a gorgeous county park campground that rivals the best the national park service (NPS) has to offer. Very friendly campers helped us navigate to the shower house and other facilities. We would stay here again.
