#5 - Play in the Shade

I've been here multiple times. I love sleeping under the trees, then taking that short hike to the beach. The stars at night make you want to put out the fire just to see them better. Will be back again.

Great spot near the beach! We really enjoyed it. Having wood conveniently for sale was great too.

#4 - Big Meadow, Power & Water

Wonderful, as always

We love Jug Handle! We have come back here multiple times and will continue to. It is a great campsite in a wonderful location with trails down to the beach. What more can you ask for? be ready for porta-potties and packing your own trash.

Great spot!

Great spot! Next to the community cooking area which had a sink and a drinking water spigot, very helpful. Very private

#10 - Sunny Spot

It probably doesn’t rain much here but when it does the grading isn’t the best and it can get wet with pooled water. Not quite as scenic as expected but it is proximal to a nice beach access. Overall value seems somewhat low but the owners seem to be improving the sites and expanding so hopefully it gets some more investment and polishing in the future. There were definitely some nicer sites in the mix.
