Most serene campground in the state. Close to Fayette, but far enough away to feel secluded from it all. Rustic.

Arrived on Thursday July 8th, 2021 with plenty of sites to choose from. We choose site 6 short walk over hill to beach, id say site 8 is the best one if available. Long winding road in but worth the drive. Nice sites, beautiful sandy beach, great hiking trails, secluded. Will be back again.

Rustic campground with large sites and beach access. The dirt road leading to the campground is in good condition. Campground was clean and the rustic facilities were well maintained. Each site had a picnic table and a fire ring. There was a working water pump and several pit toilets. The area is very wooded.
