My wife and I loved it here. Site 5 was big enough for our two person tent. The cafe was useful to rinse off our dishes and the bath house was great for a quick hot shower during the cold October mornings.

The campground was a nice little spot next to the road. It seems like the perfect spot for families with younger kids as there's lots of little trails for littles to explore and practice their balance on. I had a great time and Paul was an excellent host to us. During the storm he allowed us to move from our original campsite so our tent wasn't blowing around so much. I had a great time and would definitely go back!

We loved this campsite! There were so many thoughtful little touches that made it nice and welcoming. We came here for one night with our one year-old. We appreciated the “café“ little outdoor kitchen, with pots and pans to cook with. We also appreciated the bathrooms, and the hot shower was really nice! Each of the campsites has a cool design, and it’s right close to the water. We got to use the canoe and go out on the water at sunset. Paul was very helpful and responsive in helping us get the canoe, and super nice to talk to! It was very quiet and peaceful here. We would definitely like to come back someday!

Great place and location. Close to the beach and everything you may need yet far enough away for peace and quiet. Site was easy to get in and out of. Kyle was very responsive and helpful. Thanks!

Absolutely loved this place. Amazing “lost boy” vibes and everything you need right there. Cooked all our meals at the outdoor kitchen provided and was nice to have a shower at the end of the day. We car camped in our SUV and enjoyed walking the trails around the property. Paul was super nice and had kayaks available to paddle out in. Amazing sunset views and the star gazing was perfect. Will visit again!

We loved the site! There was plenty of room and all amenities worked as they should. We enjoyed the land but more importantly, we enjoyed our time! The icing on the cake was conversing with our neighbors and making friends! Oh, and we saw dolphins, crabs and a little otter!

This spot was perfect! Right on the water, spot to dock your kayaks and super great scenery. We woke up looking at the bay with beautiful cranes and deer around us. Weather was perfect and we were able to go down to the dock and sit in the sun while fishing. We didn’t even leave the campground and had all we needed!

Excellent location. Not super scenic but super functional. The site is very private but not secluded; you’ll have neighbors. People live nearby. However, it’s a great spot. Lots of amenities and mosquito control. Lots of birds to listen to in the morning. We walked, paddled, biked, ate and had good beer; all very close by. Would recommend.
