I was there during the week and the campground and beach was very quiet. I rented spot 3 - it was great and more private then some of the sites. Trash, bathrooms, dump station were nearby and I used the public shower one night and the button was pretty fast but the water was warm and the shower was clean. I'll be back.

Small campground with basic amenities. Level spot for RV. Visited during early May and the ticks were very bad.

Old scrub brush and volunteer tree growth in road ways making turns too tight for long rigs. No one there for check in and no map to find your camp site in entry area. Truly a self service, campers leaving at dusk, not the given checkout time(wonder if they paid at all).
