crowded in summer, but great family spot

campsites are relatively far apart, though this campsite can get rowdy and loud in the evenings, especially on weekends. the access to the water is amazing! the water is calm and warm, great for swimming or kayaking! campsite has working toilets and showers and access to a boat launch
