It's a nice place, lots of woodlands, places to camp, prices are $20 dollars a night 🏕 toilets are all around which belong to each road turn where you park . Some places are not allowed for quad bikes, ATV signs. . Lots of mosquitoes 🦟 are absolutely everywhere, so prepare yourself . I just opened and closed door from a car and 3 were already in 🐒 otherwise beautiful area, enjoyable with tide out . Lots of benches for picnics are everywhere but not enjoyable with flying friends around 😅🤣🤣🤣

Fantastic camping area!! The beach is just steps away from camp spots. Amazing geology- at low tide you can go look for Spirit Stones- they are only found around this area! A ton of 4 wheeling space right next to campground. Have a campfire right on the beach with unbelievable views! Hosts were great.

Quality remote dry campground. 53 spots. Clean pit toilets. Friendly staff, well maintained campsites. Picnic tables and fire pits. RV and tent friendly.

Pretty. Not a lot of big wildlife on the beach. Dog friendly. Not my favorite, not my least favorite. Nailed by mosquitoes in the campground. But being June, that had to happen sooner or later.

A beautiful place. The sites were tidy and the toilets were very clean. The only negative would be all of the pot holes. The hosts were pleasant and knowledgeable. I hope to return next year.

It's a great camping area. Dry camping with pit bathrooms that are kept super clean by the Camp Hosts Wendy and Kurt, they even mop the floors! Campsites are super clean and well maintained. The host even rake the campsites and clean out the fire pits. Each site has a picnic table and a fire pit. Some sites have great views. Easy walk to beach. Moose and Eagles in area. Access to rivers and lakes. Good fishing. Great for rockhounding! The camp hosts put on a meet and greet to share stories about our travels and fun places to go. Definitely coming back!

The campground is amazing. The views here are breathtaking. The camp hosts Wendy and Kurt keep the bathrooms super clean and even mop the floors. When we arrived the campsite was clean and even raked like a Chinese zen garden. There are picnic tables and fire pit at each site. One of the nights the camp hosts put on a meet and greet and we got share our travel stories and share places to see. Rock hounding is great here and I even saw moose and eagles. It's big rig friendly as I am 40ft RV. It pet friendly. I highly recommend this campground.
