Site 17 is a struggle to get to. Don't get this site if you have trailers or care about your vehicle.

There were fresh bear tracks when I arrived, and saw plenty of frogs and birds including a great blue Herron. It was easy to reserve my spot, and overall experience was excellent. I found a new favorite campsite on the dunes.
