This is beautiful campground but for the fee should have better shower facilities and hot water at the handbooks. The shower needs totally redone.

Buck Hall offers one of the most unique camping settings in America with an unmatched view of Bulls Bay. Sites are level and partly shaded with a variety of maritime forest trees. That being said, the restrooms and shower buildings are pretty rough. They are not heated and could be cleaned more thoroughly. We have a small camper with limited black water tank, so when sites don't have sewer hookup, we need the bathhouse....but we still go back to Buck Hall almost every year because of the beautiful setting.
