Stayed one night in a tent! $42, just water no other services. Small sites and quite open to one another, but nicely treed. Also the town is absolutely beautiful. Took a ten minute walk to the pier where we watched an incredible sunset. Lots of convenience stores, food options, and boutiques nearby as well. Appeared to mostly be catering to seasonal RVs but was perfect for us as a place to sleep. Super quiet midweek. Hot showers available for $1 /6 minutes. Very, very clean bathrooms. Has an indoor common area with electrical outlets, board games, books, magazines, toys for children, a pool table etc. The common area also had a kitchenette with fridge, oven, microwave, toaster oven, and dishes. In the same building there were laundry facilities although we didn’t use them. $1.25 for the washer and $1.75 for the dryer as I recall. Definitely will be back and will hopefully be able to use the pool when we return! There was a very nice kitty cat hanging out with us as well. Unsure if he belongs to the campground or one of the neighbouring houses, but he was so sweet.

Great campground, sparkling clean, freindly staff and family friendly. We loved the common area which was full of games, toys for the little one, books, a full kitchen with all utensils you may need. We only stayed for one night as we were on the road but I wish we could have stayed there longer. We would come back if we are ever in the area.

This campground and town is very charming . There are several boutiques and Restaurants in town all within walking distance of the campgrounds. There is a Grocery store right next to the campground. We had PWS when we were there with our 31 fifth wheel. The bathrooms/shower house was spotless and looked brand new. They have pool and hot tub. Also have big club house /hall with darts, pool table , ping pong,games books etc. Have one washer and one dryer. Only $1.25 to wash and $1.50 to dry. Camping spots are close to together but people are friendly. Would definitely stay here again if I was in area.

It's a very nice private campsite with well-maintained surroundings. We arrived after 10 PM, but the owner was still very patient in guiding us to our spot. The campsite is well-equipped and even has a pool table.
