Great campground. Hardly anyone there, and it was almost on the water. Not a lot of mosquitoes, but you could hear the cicadas. If you don't like trains, don't stay here. The only thing between you and the water is a train track, which has a crossing, so they have to honk their horn. That gets a little loud, but it does rock you to sleep. Few things about the bathrooms: the lights are really bri... Great campground. Hardly anyone there, and it was almost on the water. Not a lot of mosquitoes, but you could hear the cicadas. If you don't like trains, don't stay here. The only thing between you and the water is a train track, which has a crossing, so they have to honk their horn. That gets a little loud, but it does rock you to sleep. Few things about the bathrooms: the lights are really bright. I wouldn't complain about this normally, but the bright lights attract bugs, which then can't get out and die in the bathroom. Also, the water pressure. Again, not something I would complain about normally, but when dead bug water is spraying back up in your face, yes I do have something to say about that. Something really interesting I did find out though: if you stay in one of the campsites, and set your stuff up in just the right way, you can roll over in bed and on one side you'll be in central time, the other you'll be in moutian time. That was actually really cool.
