Campground itself was clean and quiet. The bathrooms were very clean, the staff was very helpful. Each site was large and we had plenty of room to spread out. I would give the fifth star if the campground had its own beach access, walking through the cabana area took a lot of extra time and was awkward. I also think use of the pool should be included in the site. My kids would have liked to swim i... Campground itself was clean and quiet. The bathrooms were very clean, the staff was very helpful.

Other than that everything else was great and we are definitely planning on booking next summer.

I remember camping here many years ago when I was a teenager with my family. We always received a pool pass, the facilities were clean. Staff used to be friendly. I went recently and I was surprised they no longer provide pool passes. Everything is an up charge. The gate was closed at 8:40pm, we had to park in a lot far away and walk in the dark with a tired cranky toddler! The next night we got...

The next night we got in at 8pm and didn't realize we drove in the wrong direction and omg some horrible man in a golf cart started screaming at us. There was only about 4 other campers there, our spot was 3 camp spots in so it's not like we were driving crazy. We drove about 100 feet in the wrong direction to our site. The next day another camper told us the man lives on the campground for free and works there. I will not be returning.
