Acorn Campground

Overall I liked the site. A few things to keep in mind:
- One of the better paths down to the water comes off this site, so you'll have a lot of people cutting through this site to get to the water
- Closest water spigot is at Site 29 (across the road from this site)
- There are a number of trees that provide okay shade. Most folks seem to bring shade structures that can move down near the water.
- There's a definite temperature difference between the water and the campsite on hot days.
- This is more of a party campground. Outside quite hours, there were normally at least 3 sites blaring music. Thankfully the loudest on the Saturday I visited played music I liked.
- Slightly excited kids in the water will sound like they're having a normal conversation in your campsite. Normally not a problem, until someone decides to have a predawn swim...
- There's a little more trash than I'm used to at campsites, but nothing outlandish. Most of it is small items like bottle caps, cigarette butts, plastic that's broken off something and blown in the wind. Do be careful if you go off trail, some folks weren't cleaning up after their dogs.
- At night, you can get some strong northerly winds. I suggest setting your tent up south of the fire pit. I ended up needing to douse my fire early on Saturday since winds were pushing embers too close to my tent.
- Bring toilet paper and hand soap. The soap dispenser in the men's bathroom was broken. Also the bathrooms ran out of toilet paper on Sunday morning. I don't really fault the park here, they had two full rolls Saturday afternoon and evidence that someone wasted a lot.
- With Mint (T-mobile) I was able to get/send SMS messages in most of the site. I could barely get data right where the site turns into the path down to the water. I was unable to send MMS messages while at the site.

The campsite had cigarette butts and trash all over. Trash left in fire pit. I spent a lot of time cleaning the dirty campsite. The bathrooms were okay, but people need to learn to flush. Generators ran past 10PM, and music was playing at a nearby
site that was a bit too loud.loud talkers and someone turned car headlights on and left them on for over 20 minutes at night, shining into my site and others. There is no regard for anyone else but their own. No camper etiquette.

This place is cheap and it will always attract that sort of crowd. Leave your site better than you found it should be posted at every site.

Was disappointed in this camping experience. Other campers walking through other peoples campground; dogs roaming around off leash starting fights with other dogs, same dogs cornering people in bathrooms, and owners allowing them to walk into other campsites - walking on tents people are trying to setup, letting them pee and poop in other campsites; bathrooms were disgusting, showers missing shower heads, people taking toilet paper rolls, and leaving toilets unflushed; people letting their children play on other people’s water floats and allowing their children (under 6) to walk in the road way while other concerned parents are walking them around trying to find their parents.
A lot of the sites are unlevel which is semi typical for lake side camping. Boaters not paying attention or just not knowing about no wake zones.
As an FYI - Campground gates close at 10p and don’t open again until 8a(?). You can drive out but not back in due to tire spikes. You can however park in visitor parking and walk in (or have someone in the campground drive around to pick you up.
Plus side is that the grocery store is very close (about 5-7min drive) for restocking of food, ice and stuff.
Pay attention to campsites - there were quite a few that had absolutely no shade which is tough in the summer.
Strangely did not encounter any mosquitos at night although there seems to be a gnat surge for about an hour or so after nightfall. Non white lights were best to avoid them.
There was no gate person on Thursday or Friday when majority of our group checked in (between noon and 4p). Luckily we knew our campsite numbers and just followed signs to our spots- did take a little while though.

A good place. Beautiful, all places are prepared for the camp. It's clean around. But the toilets are dirty, the toilets are clogged. There is a shower in the shared toilet. Beach - sharp stones. Entry into the water with sharp rocks and abrupt depth transitions.

Campground at the sea but with lots of dirt and trash. Restrooms totally dirty!

Site 25 very steep. Did not use table or anything else.
