camp host was very personable. 6 sites are available for rv’s but they are small. My 26 foot trailer filled most of the site and it was difficult to park my truck in the site. the campground is very quiet and serene. sites are not very level and not paved. bathroom has flush toilets but need some TLC.

Loved this campsite! We definitely plan on returning. Spaces are spread out, so you don't feel cramped with your neighbors. Within 30 minutes of the beach and 10 minutes from a nearby creek! Can't ask for much else. The only thing was that the toilets were closed, so port a potties are provided. No showers.
