Other than the water/bathroom issue and the lack of enforcement of quite time.
It was a good time

The bathrooms near our campsite were always plugged up and almost no water pressure.
The other problem was the lack of respect for the quiet time.
As late as 2am there were quads and dirtbikes riding in and out of the campgrounds.
Otherwise it was a good time.
Ps the camp host seemed very nice.

Neighbors did not respect the quiet after ten rules and became belligerent when asked nicely to lower their voices and music since small children were trying to sleep. Host was no where to be found.

Camp hosts were fantastic! Neighbors were very friendly and respectful and the site was perfect. Loved my mini-getaway and maiden trip with the new rooftop tent.

I love how the campsites are a nice size. Even though we don't have anything to ride in the sand, it is still a nice place to camp. The beach is right there to fish or do whatever you want. Pelican Brewery is not far away if you want to get something to eat and enjoy the scenery.
