My boyfriend and I spent one night here. We didn't have a reservation but we were able to find a site, not busy at all. The only trouble was, given that it is off season, the park rangers office wasn't open until 2pm so we had to wait for this to open to pay. We didn't have cash or cheque and so waited until the office opened to pay for the campsite with credit card. Also, the showers last 3 minutes with a token. It takes about a minute for the water to warm up so it's more like a 2 minute shower.

Very well groomed, beautiful campsites! Private, and quiet! CLEAN bathrooms, and showers! The volunteer couple at the park work hard to keep the sites clean. They are both super friendly people! Our car broke down and they helped us get it back up and running. Grates over the fire pit for easy cooking. Bathrooms and trash receptacles are within a short reach from each campsite and there are multiple throughout the camp site. We had so much fun! Will definitely be booking more stays here for the summer months!

The campgrounds are well maintained. Each campsite has vegetation to provide a sense of privacy. The day use area is pleasant and borders the water. Camping rates are reasonable. Dog friendly mostly.

My favorite place to get out in nature but not drive too far away. Love the view, the fact that it family friendly, and that the Rangers keep it looking nice. Also love to see people keeping it clean.

The staff is awesome, and the grounds are beautiful but wet. And the price is low compared to others. Privacy, lush views, and not being busy at all. Plus, the showers are free and hot!
