Great Spot, Gross Bathrooms

Pros: This campground is right on Point Possession. Most spots have a view of the inlet, Mt Redoubt, and the Spur. Beach access is only a short walk away. There is a variety of different sized site, with plenty of room.

Cons: The bathrooms were absolutely disgusting. There was dead flies all over the ground, and no toilet paper. The sites, we’re great, but there wasn’t much privacy.
