Dam East - McNair Campground

Parking is close to the beach access and there is a small playground and a bunch of benches with some shade. The beach is clean and the there is a nice gradual increase in the water depth. There is a poll at the ends of the swimming area to indicate the depth if you have swimmers that need life jackets. They also provide free life jackets. We were sharing the beach with a handful of other families... Parking is close to the beach access and there is a small playground and a bunch of benches with some shade.

They do want you to pay for a $5 day pass if you do not hold an annual pass or have camping reservations.

Cons: Check in is not until 5 pm and checkout is at 4pm, very odd and difficult to plan around.. There was a wedding when we were there so the campground was full and rather noisy. Distance to the beach is a good walk. The pack of raccoons that will literally jump on your picnic table with no fear would not leave. We were told by the campers next to us to keep all food in our cars. Unfortunately later we witnessed these same campers throwing food into the woods 🙄 Our lot was quite the walk to the shower/bathroom facility. Not set up for tents ideally a camper is better.
