I have mixed feelings about this campground. Pros:-the bathrooms were clean, well stocked, and well maintained. -the hosts were very friendly and knowledgeable.-there is trash service and water (through a pump...good arm workout!)-the sites were far enough away that it felt pretty quiet. -it is close to a lot of things (hot springs, hikes, etc.)-there is a nice area on the beach. Cons:-there is not as much shade as I was hoping (we were in site 9). But there are some sites with more, but there was one site we saw that had no shade at all. -for a double site, it didn't feel much bigger than the other sites. There was a bigger parking pad though. -the chipmunks there are VERY aggressive. If we turned our back on the food on our table for any longer than like 3 minutes, they were jumping up on the table trying to (and succeeding) in eating our food. We had to keep everything in our vehicles at all times or they would chew holes in things that were any softer than a hard cooler. Maybe if you bring a dog you'd be ok, but the chipmunks were ridiculous. For that reason alone, we may not go back...but we will see. -there is NO service whatsoever, which can also be good, but just be prepared. There is a little restaurant about 2 miles up the road that provides wifi if you really need to get ahold of someone at some point. All in all, we enjoyed our time there, but the dang chipmunks really put a damper on things.
