The site was great. Very big space for trailer and truck and quads. Fits about 3 large tents and 2 huge canopies. Close to bathroom and day use beach. And water if needed. Privacy not so well. You are facing 3 other campsites.

Had a wonderful time. Until the last night. The people in #75 were loud, screaming at kids, babies crying, cars parked near my fire pit. The camp host was so nice. He told them to move their car. But the noise was so much that I almost left that night. I left in the morning as soon as possible.
But the first part of my trip was wonderful and the camp host was great and did what he could.

Plenty of space at each site. Lots of bathrooms, garbage dumpsters and everything is serviced and kept clean by the campground hosts.
Great experience for our extended family ATV trip.

Beautiful sunsets! Lots of options for riding your ATV - beach, dunes, trails. Campground is sufficient. Sites are large. It can get noisy but that's to be expected.
