Great location, however, cover on shore power pedestal is broken and lets water in when it rains and trips the GFCI

We had a great time at B18. It was close to both the bathroom facilities and the beach. The rangers were very helpful. We enjoyed the very dark skies that the site offers; great for stargazing! And the showers we had were heated. We would defintiely return!
