We stayed on loop 3 first come spots. Got an amazing spot: short walk to clean vault toilets, cam library. Our camp host Danny and Samanta were great support, answered questions, checked in often even stepped up and help with tent repair. Oh the memories :). Beach was clean, camp spot very spacious with bear locker. Will be going back soon.
