A decent option

I was excited to find this free site so close to Glenwood (30 minute drive). We arrived on a Thursday afternoon and all the sites were taken up, except for one really nice and open one we took. There was no shade at our site, so it would be unbearable to stay there during the day. Our site was on sand, right next to the water so it was very windy and we had to tie our tent down to the shrubs surrounding our tent (so be prepared.) The view was stunning, BUT the site was soooooo dirty. It was depressing to see toilet paper everywhere (there is a bathroom at this site!) and trash all over. Please clean up after yourselves ♥️. My husband and I had no cell service and we are on two different carriers (sprint+T-Mobile) which is something to consider. I woke up at 6:30AM and just outside of our tent there was a black bear in our campsite watching us. It was a really cool experience but the bears are definitely coming for all the food trash left behind. STORE your food- keep yourself and the bears safe. Pretty buggy, but no mosquitoes.
