Ok, so I stayed 3 nights, the second week of November.  It was myself and two other campers who were there together. We had the entire campground to ourselves.  Water was on and the bathrooms were open and clean!  I happened upon a site with full hookups and it was $20.00 a night.  I’m guessing in the regular season these would either be taken or they might charge more.   Anyway, great relaxing stay!   ****No cellular service available ***. I was able to get nominal service with an external antenna and booster…
