The weather did us in. Tent poles broke under high winds and shredded the fly. Left 24 hours after we go there.
We'll be back next year!

The grounds were much improved over years this year. Bathrooms were much cleaner than the last several years. Enjoyed the 200 years celebration of the lighthouse.

Had a good night there, met some nice people from out west there. The camp hosts were very friendly and helpful with me making reservations for the ferry. The campground and lighthouse was worth the visit.
