Bike-packed through here. It’s was free due to no one checking in/no slips in the bin. Water and pit toilets at both campsites. Go left at the sign for trees, go right at the sign for beach. There is typically a fee. Felt safe and comfortable. Another review mentor druggie vibes. I find that hilarious.

This place is so beautiful. I did not camp here because I was in a tent and the weather was not great but next summer it's happening. To wake up in this place would be amazing. Your surroundings by water on three sides. The wildlife is loud and it's evident your in their space at night. It's amazing.

Its spacious with a lot of different types of campground areas, you can be out in the open or tucked back into the trees. There is a slide, swings for both older kids and babies and an open grassy area for running around. They also allow you to build campfires at your campsite.

Sites in the upper campground are fairly uneven, to the point that we couldn't stay there. Host didn't attempt to come and chat to us or suggest a better site. On checking the lower sites it appears some people have made a little 3 trailer village, it somewhat takes over all the lower sites.

The lagoon gets five stars for high quality natural setting, bird and shore life. Some of the dog owners that visit the park get one star for flagrant disrespect and disregard for park rules. County park rules state dogs must be controlled at all times and are not allowed to harass wildlife. They are not respectful or following the rules, and animal control should be notified of these issues whenever encountered.
