Pit toilets were darn near full. Yuck! No shower house. Very peaceful campgrounds. Not much going on in this sleepy town.

Clean restrooms. Absolutely no security. Locals walk through at all times of the day. If they notice you are not at your campsite they will take the liberty of going through your belongings and taking what they please. We will never stay at this campground again.

RV pads are nice and big. There's no place to purchase wood except for an old loca gasl station a block away that closed down at 9pm. Bathrooms needed cleaning. Our site's fire ring was filled garbage... beer bottles, chip wrappers, aluminum foil, cans, and 2 packs with of cigarettes butter. It was a bit disheartening. Our pad (#4) did back up to a wooded tree-lined overlooking the bay and had a huge grassy area between the pad and tree-lined, good for yard hmgames and extra tents.

Nice little campground in a nice town. The problem is they raise the rates the $40 a night plus tax. Really nothing here except wi-fi. No showers, no laundry,. State parks are $25 and they have things to offer. It was a good deal at 30 hours a night. It's not worth $40 a night. Won't be coming back cuz I can't afford it.

We had a terrible experience. First the bar down the street had music blaring all night. There was also music coming from the other side of the campground. We stayed an entire week and every night there was music until 2-3am. People drive through the campground for a joyride, so don't expect your kids to be able to ride their bikes. There is access to the river with small fish but no swimming area. One morning while making breakfast they mowed the grass it didn't need to be cut. They drove right on the edge of our site blowing dust all over us and in our food. The kids were running around and they almost took our kids and the neighbors dog out. Over all we will not be back and I can't give much positives.
