Weekday stays are nice because most of the sites are vacant and it's fairly quiet.

The view is GREAT but poison ivy EVERYWHERE. Make sure your children, and yourself wear shoes in the shower ATHLETES FOOT! Also had a couple provoke our dog the two days we were there then complained on us for a “rowdy, viscous dog”. On top of that, the lady park ranger or game warden was RUDE and very dramatic when it came to our sweet boy (the dog).

Had a great time! It’s everything camping should be. The bathhouse was clean and modern. The site was very nice as well. Cell coverage is pretty sketchy, but you’re there to get away from it all right?

Sites and roadway are in need of repair. Beach is hard to get to for older people. We did not receive any information on the campground nor the surrounding areas.
