This campground is a work in progress. the owner is installing water and electric to improve the camping experience. It is a nice, peaceful area. The sites were a bit crowded but since it was nearly empty, that was not a concern. I'll be back.

Best bang for buck you'll ever find. Not perfect as they don't have showers, and the sand is a bit annoying but the best for budget. Kayaking there was awesome 👍
