Sites are large, measuring 40 by 50 feet, each with a fire pit and picnic table. No shade yet. Young trees and shrubs are still establishing, so expect full sun and open sightlines between sites. Porta-potties are on-site and have been noted as clean; there are no plumbed toilets or showers. Verizon coverage is reliable. Electric hookups are available, and potable water hydrants are on-site. Reservations can be made by phone, including same-day. Book ahead for summer weekends.

Clean, new, quiet

We visited in mid October, out of season, but the phone reservation that same day was easy and helpful. Verizon cell service was good, and the Porta potties were clean. There were no plumbed toilets or showers. The planted trees and shrubs are young, so there is no shade or privacy between sites yet.
