Nice other than phone reservation system you cant just walk up and pay - call a number to pay online... on the phone for 15 minutes. I should have just reserved online myself when I got there. You still have to pay a $6 day pass on top of a $31 camping fee.

Walking on the beach is horrible because its made of mostly rock and not sand. There is no water hook ups. You can hear cars on the road and its not even in a nice place because there isnt that many trees or anything nice to look at besides the lake. But at least the bathrooms and showers were clean. Also the seagulls were kinda cool. I wouldve gone somewhere else but my family chose this for some reason.

We have been coming here for 25 years. Every year it gets worse and worse as far as the locals hogging every inch of the place. This year we cant even swim in front of our camper because there is NO room for us. The park staff let the locals park in the empty camping spots and use them.... without paying. Then when people who actually rented the sit come, there is no room for them. It used to be our favorite place, now we dont even know if we will come back again. The locals totally ruin it for people trying to enjoy camping and the park staff let it happen.

Fun place to swim or skip rocks. Or just hang out at the beach. Make sand castles or sit in the shade on a hot day. Great place for families to spend a long afternoon.
