It's a nice campsite with electricity hookups and water at the campsite. Firewood available for $5 a bundle until 7pm. Bathrooms and showers are also available. Gravel covered campsites but not much to do, no rivers close or lakes. If you just want a wooded campsite close to Dairy Queen this place is for you.

Spaces aren't secluded but we are here for the trail system. This is our fourth visit in a couple years. East campground, space 94 can get windy though.

Our favorite campground. Close to home, and close to the coast. Our home away from home about 25 days a year. Beautiful, clean, well kept, and staffed.
