Ehhh

Just like the previous reviews, there are A LOT of flys from nats, and wasps not to mention a bunch of spiders that'll go all over your tent. The weather was really bad during labor day weekend, which was really hot. Luckily, we weren't too far from the beach to cool down. The campsite itself was ok. It's a bit close to your neighbors but enough distance to have your own space. I would recommend campsite 7 if you don't want neighbors. Haha. We stayed at 3, 6, and 11. 11 was up a hill, I would not recommend it. The campground is too close to the main road. If you're a light sleeper, you can hear the cars drive by and not to mention the insects that'll keep you up late at night. They locked the bathrooms but there are porta potties and a community running facet surrounding the campgrounds. They do have benches and fire pits. The host does provide a bundle of wood if you forget to bring it. No hiking trails close by. Don't think I'll be coming back.

Quiet in off season

Went In January on a weekend and drove up and had our pick of any site. It was all Shaded and quiet. Not many people around. Nice big sites under trees. Plus it’s only around a 10 minute drive to come springs tavern and several hikes. It is located right off the side of the road but it never got loud because the rode is so empty.
