Randy and his wife are absolutely amazing people. From the moment we pulled on to their property, we were treated like family. The sites we were in worked great for us (thankfully all the seasonal neighbors were closed up and gone for the season) and we will 1000% be back to visit this spot again!

Place is great and very friendly but only 3 shower cabins and only 4 toilet bowls (2 with sowers, and 2 near tent camping) for about 60 sites would not be enough in high season. We were the only tent campers and had that toilet just for ourselves - but having neighbours would make the stay much less comfortable. Marina is great.
