This was our maiden voyage with our new camper. Charlie made it a wonderful wonderful experience. We will be back and we will recommend it to all our friends.

I’d leave more stars if I could. My bf and I were staying at a campsite nearby in Lincoln: Stacy was a lifesaver and only charged us $5 a person to use the showers as long as we wanted. Our campsite shower house was only putting out ice cold water, with low pressure. We had our own soaps, but there were extras in there as well. The showers were very clean, spacious and plenty of hot water. Seemed like a very nice campground and she was more than happy to give us the code to the shower house. We’d definitely stay here if coming back to this area to camp.

We love this campground! It’s in the cutest little town with a harbor and great trails. They have a lot of events and our visit was so much fun. The owners create such a welcoming atmosphere and we felt very comfortable. We definitely plan to come back soon. 💕
