The air is brisk, the views magnificent, and the campground is clean and neat. There are no facilities other than a porta-potty but that's what camping is about, right?

Beautiful area with amazing kayaking and trail opportunities. Park ranger was by every morning to check on new arrivals. Locals showed up often and late into the night, nothing beyond some off leash dog issues occurred but it's not a place I'd leave my gear for long.

The bad: spots are super close together and there is zero privacy due to that. This ruins the experience of wild camping.

It was 5 miles of dirt/sand to get here, but sites are nice for primitive. Toilets were clean. Bring water. Watch for deer/ bear. Listen to the bay lapping at the bank all night.

I loved this campsite. So peaceful. Picture perfect campsites along the water with amazing views of the bay. Beautiful sunsets. No shower facility or potable water. Primitive so no electricity. Portable bathrooms that are kept clean. Great hiking trails and you can bring your kayak.

A great place for smaller RVs or tents and those looking for kayaking, fishing. Free to use but there's a system in place to check in. Visit website for instructions.
