I wish there were fire pits in the day use area. I had to rent a campsite and only use it for a couple of hours.

Was very pleasantly surprised with this campground. Quirt, Lots of trees, well spaced camping spots, and lots of great areas to hike and walk along the water. You have to fill up your holding tanks with water since there’s no water at the sites but just a small inconvenience.

Decent sites and hot showers! Trails seemed like they needed a little love, but I think this is more a Natl Patks staffing and budgeting issue in light of recent cuts. 😢

It was nice and clean and no one messed with you. People were friendly and when my car broke down I was able to receive help from fellow campers. Even though all I needed to do to fix my car was push a reset button.
