Great time

The grounds were clean and relatively kept up. The bathrooms were damaged during the last big storm and the 2 restrooms nearest our sites were closed for repairs. The remaining restrooms were old but they did the job. The staff was very helpful and unimaginably kind. I would recommend this site especially if you are r/v or using a camp trailer where a on-site restroom is not necessary... we will definitely be revisiting this campground.

Older and very tight spaces.

Older campground. Very tight spaces. Roads and pads are asphalt. Sites 1-7 have full hook-ups and others have water and electric. There is a dump station. Buildings in great disrepair, but staff friendly and very helpful.

Ehhh

Went for Father’s Day weekend. Apparently they just reopened after hurricane Laura which was 10 months ago. It still was not completely cleaned up, and still had yellow caution tape on buildings. Bath houses are ran down, funky, and barely operable. I didn’t feel comfortable letting my kids roam the campground. Our site was kind of on a hill, and camper sat funny. If we go back it won’t be to the B side.
