The grounds were extremely unkept and stickers everywhere which is unusual.

Love this campground. This specific location needs a new grill as the bottom is almost gone. we lined it with foil and was functional. Also, if you have pets there are a lot of stickers so beware.
But it was peaceful, next to the water and the sunrises were amazing.
