The park is nice I like the camping sites and the bathrooms were equipped with everything needed. The only issues were that the campsites needed to be mowed and there are grass burrs everywhere making it obvious that nothing has been done to eradicate the problem weeds. The bathrooms nearest s the park entrance were fine other than the fact that the men’s bathroom on the back side has no lock mechanism on the door and anyone could walk in while a camper is in the shower.

Bathrooms are clean. Quiet, friendly, other than the occasional boat or hunter nobody is around basically leave you alone. Little seashells on the beach. Was waiting for my RV to finish repairs and stayed for a short time. 20 min away from small cities. Tent sites have water spouts.

The park was very nice with easy access to the water. The only downside was the bumper crop of grass burrs.

Everything was very nice. But the restrooms needed new light bulbs as half were burned out. Needs the light outside lighting should also be repaired as it was very dark outside the facility. Restrooms were basically clean just very dark.
