Only for singles and silent folks. Don’t expect to have a family reunion, grill, or do anything that makes noise. Also camp host is incompetent. Apparently it’s his first year - told us our tent location in the grass was okay. Next day he called the game warden on us so she should tell us it was incorrectly placed. We had checked with him night one. Terrible experience. We left early due to how in... Only for singles and silent folks.

We stayed at site 1208 which was right by the shared beach. Not a very private site so we'd choose another next time, but the camp hosts kept the toilets very clean and we were close to the bike trail and lots of nature and relaxing.
