Site was clean, fire pit needed a little tlc. Bathrooms used to be heated, not anymore. Bathrooms also needed a good cleaning. Neighbors were cool, not too loud.

It does the job. I visited the campsite for the weekend to witness the nearby king tides. I didnβt stay for long except for sleeping at night. Other reviews mention the same thing; it can get noisy due to RV generators running continuously and ATVs driving by past 10 pm. If youβre not interested in ATV/dunebuggy activities, thereβs not much to do there. However, thatβs okay. There was a bathroom with flushable toilets, and the site was flat and easy to access, so I didnβt have any complaints.

We should have known that this was not our type of campground due to it being a recreation area. We were surrounded by toy haulers and very loud ATVβs that did not quiet down until after 2am despite a brief police presence around midnight. We got up at 5am and left as fast as we could.
