Sunset Bay is a really peaceful campsite. It says 4 tents only, but you can park your RV there. There is no electric but I did see 2 water spickets. There is one pit toilet building. There is a big parking lot for the boat ramp. I was there for 4 nights in October. I was the only one camping in this area. I had camped on the other side where there is electric and flush toilets two weeks prior to my stay at Sunset Bay. I had a conversation with the people that that oversee the bigger campsite about their thoughts about staying at Sunset Bay. They stated that they maintain Sunset Bay and that the Rangers drive through periodically through the day. They did warn me that after the Rangers go off Duty that there's a possibility that teenagers will come and party in this area. And that if I had any problems, I needed to call the county sheriff's department. I had no problems, the 4 nights I stayed there.

The first night at sunset #1 there was fighting going on a couple spots down from us and that night while fishing close to camp the same group that was fighting earlier that day tried to Rob our camp and we caught them before they got anything. It was an older white/cream colored expedition! Be careful out there!

Growing up this was always a favorite, it was quiet, and way cheaper than other recreation sites. Upon visiting this year we noticed the gratuity box and sign were replaced with, a sign stating you had to create an account and pay online to camp and such. Difficult to do in an area with spotty reception. It was quiet until about two am when we had teenagers run through our camp site assuming we were asleep and tried to take a fishing pole and tackle I had next to my tent. We managed to scare them off without it escalating or needing to call law enforcement. Very upset and unable to sleep for fear of unexpected visitors the rest of the night .

Cute spot, convenient location! Our site (Site 2) was level and large with a nice view of the water. We arrived Sunday night - there were a few folks partying, but they didn't bother us and left by 11pm. Internet connection allowed me to work in the morning too. Appreciated this nice place to car camp! Thanks!
