This campground is a work in progress. the owner is installing water and electric to improve the camping experience. It is a nice, peaceful area. The sites were a bit crowded but since it was nearly empty, that was not a concern. I'll be back.

Stafff was great. Campground was ok but turned into a party zone at night. Music screaming yelling slamming doors constantly. I ppacked up and left for a hotel at 1 am. Party on both ends was going strong.

The property was over grown and looked nothing like the pictures on the website! On the website and the amenities said it came with everything and it came with nothing

Best bang for buck you'll ever find. Not perfect as they don't have showers, and the sand is a bit annoying but the best for budget. Kayaking there was awesome 👍
