Good location to camp
Loved the location we camped. It was isolated from other camping sites. The facilities were clean. Had a great time.

We will be back!
Real outdoor camping experience great for quicj retreat. Even though other sites were located nearby you felt like you had your own space, quiet and secluded. Places to walk/ wonder, go fishing, play with rocks and in the play ground. Everything was clean and it was nice to have firewood for purchase everyday, drinkable water, and charging station just in case! The kids had an amazing first time tent camping experience and the dogs didn’t want to leave. Also it was cool to take your car on the ferry taxi to get to the spot - just added to the trip! * there isn’t cell service at the campsites but you can get some service by the main road if you need it

This is the most serene place we have ever camped, we absolutely love the seclusion and quiet of our favorite spot! We will be returning again hopefully sometime this summer and definitely next summer! This has become our anniversary camp! We just celebrated 23 years of marriage on the 17th of June and have spent our anniversary weekend there at camp! We love you all there and would recommend your camp ground to everyone
