We were in spot 5, and I think it was the nicest spot in the whole campground. As far as being private and shady. The shower houses were very hot and that can't be helped because it's a concrete building in the Sun. But the water was almost uncomfortably hot, and there was absolutely no way to reduce the temperature of it. And I think that added to the hotness of the shower room. Despite there being a little sign by the vault toilet, saying it was a cell phone hotspot.There was no cell service, no matter where we went or how we held our phones. Google Fi , which uses t mobile towers, no signal anywhere in the park.

Good campground, clean and well maintained. Note: site 5 has a bright light by it… great for safety, not for tent sleeping under the stars. Also, if you arrive late, the campground does not sell firewood. The nearby “resort” does but closes at 9pm. Plan accordingly.

Get a garbage dumpster instead of cans. They are always overflowing.

Very clean restrooms with free showers. Sites are nicely separated by trees and shrubs. No other amenities or trails in the area

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.
