Nice campground! Sites are a little small, but there is plenty to do there. We had an electrical problem when we arrived and tried to plug in. we notified the office and an electrician was there within 10 minutes to fix the problem! There is a cute little store at the entrance to the park. Plenty of beachgoers and we had a lovely picnic site overlooking the water! As a disabled person I would have loved a family shower, however, the bathrooms were very nice and the handicap shower was perfect, one of the best I've ever used
