Sites seemed very small for RV’s. Steep slopes on both sides of sites making it difficult to enter/exit RV. No dumpster for trash. Bathroom was out of TP.

Beautiful view, relaxing location, just not a lot of room.

We stayed 3 nights in the off season. We had a lot more space to ourselves because of the time of year which we really enjoyed. We didn’t see much for wild life but we could hear them moving about at night. We found the tracks of many different things on the beach. It was really enjoyed. We would have loved to be able to have a campfire but considering that it was still really dry for the time of year, fire safety was more important.

Quiet, clean campground right next to the water. I stayed in site number 1, which is the closest to the boat launch and was not bothered at all by any boat trailer traffic, but it is minimal this time of year. Comfortable days and beautiful sunsets across the water make this a very nice place to be this time of year. Will be staying here again.

RV dump station was not open again, that’s why we pay to camp there, it’d be nice to know that before we reserve a site

Campground almost empty, so very quiet. Was kind of disappointed that the RV dump station and the fish cleaning stations were closed. Don't understand that. It doesn't take any employees interaction to leave these things available to campers.
