I liked it. I didn’t have a car that made it a little difficult but overall, I loved it.

It was nice! The deluxe spots have outdoor furniture, fire pit and a full charcoal grill! The stamped concrete patios are a nice touch.

We dropped into the marina hoping to grab a bite to eat. Unfortunately we were told that the restaurant was closed and that the current people were only leasing the place. Apparently there was a bar and live music was going to start around 3. We needed food so we got back in the boat and headed off. They did have a clean restroom.

We’ve had a very disappointing experience during our visit. When we arrived, someone was parked in the spot assigned to us. We then went to the restaurant, only to find it had been closed months. We were also told there would be a food truck available at 11 AM, but it didn’t open until noon. Overall, we are extremely dissatisfied and unfortunately will not be returning.

Pretty rough, this place needs some TLC. Only sites that pay a premium for the fire ring can have a campfire. Seems crass to charge people extra just to have a campfire. The day we showed up a couple of staff members were in a screaming match yelling profanities at each other, classy. I can't see us ever returning.
