Be prepared to anchor your boat away from the docking area. The water was really rough because the is not a no wake zone for this camping site. Our boat took a good beating the first night there. The bathrooms were actually pretty nice for outhouse type. Well stocked and maintained, however it was a bit of a walk from the one side of the camp. It’s a lot of work hauling all your stuff including firewood. I’m not sure I would want to do it again.

As of late May 2023 on site water is not available. Doug and several other Rangers stopped in each afternoon to check on campers. Very friendly and informative Rangers. Thank you. Open pit toilets were of new construction and well maintained. Xfinity cell service was no problem. New construction on the shoreline ensures no beach erosion.
Landing a kayak is a little tough unless you use
sites 1, 5, or 6. Very few other campers used the grounds on the weekdays I camped. If no
frills isolated camping is what you like this would be the place.
