Nice. Quiet. Isolated.

The campground has been down sized due to budget cuts I would guess but is usually a good spot. Loads of hiking trails and an interpretive nature trail created years ago by an Eagle Scout. Has a pump for water. No power. Has bathrooms and a boat launch. 👍

Great “one nighter”

Ok campground. Not much of a beach. Very rustic. Only a 4 mile drive to gas/ convenience store. Try out the pizza at Rodney’s when you pull thru gwinn it’s delish!
