The trees here get five stars but everything else was just okay so three stars overall. The sites are nice size and the trees on either side give the illusion of privacy from your camp neighbors. Unfortunately, noise here goes completely uncontrolled even though there are strict policies in the paperwork you are given about keeping noise contained to your own campsite regardless of the time of day. My husband and I booked a full RV site Thursday through Sunday. Thursday was lovely actually, not too many people and we were able to enjoy sitting outside peacefully. All that changed on Friday when the campground filled up. Tons of kids running around screaming (yes playing, but still screaming uncontrolled) into the later hours of the night. Camp hosts just kind of shrug and say hopefully they'll stop soon. The other issue is once you've walked around the campground or taking a bike ride around it, there's really not much else to do. The 1.5 mile trail to the beach is so steeply inclined at various points that it becomes a real hike on a hot day, there and back. We brought old school pedal bikes with us not knowing, no way you can make it without an e-bike. You definitely need an e-bike or a vehicle outside of your RV to get around and really do anything fun. For $70 a night, we did not feel we got our money's worth. We would have if we had been able to sit out at our campsite and enjoy a peaceful nature experience without all the noise, but that was not to be.

The campsites themselves are clean, spacious, and there’s plenty of parking, which was great. However, the facilities were a big letdown—especially over Labor Day weekend when you'd expect everything to be fully operational. Out of several shower stalls, only one was working across all the loops, and more than half of the water stations were out of order. On a positive note, the one working shower had excellent water pressure. Just be aware that showers are token-operated (50 cents per token, good for 2 minutes), so come prepared.

We have been camping for years so there are things that are essential to us when we search for campgrounds and this campground didn't meet them after we arrived. 1- soap in the restrooms. There was none. 2- cleanliness. The restroom/showers seem like they are pressured wash each morning however they don't smell or seem like any soap is used to disinfect. 3- Site cleanliness. Our site was infested with rats. There were 2 rat nests in the high bushes. According to the host this is known and nothing is done. We found out our last night there. 4- noise. it was louder that we expected. Overall not a place we will be returning nor recommending.

With Only one coin operated shower working with water that was so uncomfortably 🔥 hot that skin felt so dry after. That was not enjoyable. No onsite dump station either. The plus is Campsites are spacious and private.
