This site is overrated.
Yes the owners are quite welcoming and accommodating and that adds charm. The site itself is small and is bordered by horse pastures. You feel sort of stuck with nothing to look on to. Kitchen was good and adequate. All in all, there was no special draw here, and no views, and no special reason to come. But the owners were very nice. It was an average site.

Camp is nicely laid out with lots of space and privacy.
Beautiful beach is steps away. Only 3 showers, so a bit inadequate for the size of this very large campground. WiFi is largely unusable, so don’t count on it. Stainless steel kitchen is spacious.
