I have mixed feelings about this campground. We loved the beach, but the campground itself could have been better. Last time we came we stayed at the South Eden Campground. We didn't know this one had been updated so much, which isn't necessarily a bad thing. But the asphalt made it very hot. The beach being groomed was nice and having the gazebos and picnic tables were a plus. The water is very shallow in this area which is great for littles. I do wish they had a no-wake zone around the campsite as there was a group running through everyone on wave runners the whole time knocking people off paddle boards and kayaks. The tables at the beach were just metal, but the ones at the campsite were wooden and badly painted. They were beat up and pretty nasty to make sure to bring a tablecloth. The fire pits have very bad airflow which makes a lot of smoke. But you make due with what you have.
Our biggest problem was none of the rules were being enforced whatsoever. Every night we were kept up well passed midnight with people and kids screaming and running around. Our dog was the only one ever on a leash and he was approached several times by off leash dogs. Just because your dog is friendly does not mean everyone else's is. I tried multiple different bathrooms, and they were all absolutely disgusting. I wasn't expecting anything pristine, but they were all well overdue for a hose down.
This is no fault of the campground - but the bugs were terrible! (June 2024) Make sure you have tons of heavy duty bug spray especially if you go down to the water at night. There was also lots of mice so make sure you pick up your food and keep you garbage off the ground. Remember to be kind - you're in their home. And you really shouldn't let your kids torment them either. read more
