Very nice campground with usually quiet and friendly people there. The bathrooms could’ve been cleaner, one had a clogged toilet for the 2 days I was there and the trash was more than overflowing but I’d always come back again

Beautiful campground, extremely quiet. Water was turned off for the season. Nice walking trail. Camphost very helpful. Have stayed here before. Gave it 4 stars this time because someone stole our fold up table and lounge chairs while we were gone. In 4 years of full time rving, we’ve never had anything stolen before.

Stayed during Spring Break and our site did not have water although the sites close to the beach did have water. We refilled multiple jugs down there before finding the potable water (painted Go-Away-Green) along the green fence. There was no signage.
The worker had directed us to fill up with the hose by the sewage (which we declined)
Poor signage for finding campsite, although it is a small campground there was no map and poor phone service to look it up.
The other main consideration was the noise of the truck that patrolled frequently. Loud enough to cover your ears if you're outside or to wake up your kids from sleep. I assume it was an employee by the frequency during our week, but he never waved or said Hi - so maybe it was someone trolling for loose bikes. No way to know.
The restrooms were dirty and 2 were locked the whole time. We had to use them since we didn't have enough water in the camper.
Take your own toilet paper and soap because they don't stock these.

- Standard cancellations usually have a $10 cancellation fee. Customers can generally cancel before the check-in date online.
- Late cancellation rules differ by stay type.
- Individual campsites: cancelling after 12:00am local time the day before arrival usually means a $10 cancellation fee plus forfeiting the first night's fee.

- Modifications are allowed before the cut-off window, but fees depend on the change. Changing to dates completely outside the original reservation dates may trigger a $10 change fee. Extending or shortening a stay that still includes original dates usually has no change fee, though refunds may depend on timing and facility rules. Switching to the same type of campsite for the same dates usually has no change fee, but price differences are charged or refunded.
