Nice grassy area

We stopped and would have happily stayed. There's Electric there's bathrooms not sure if there's a dump station or water. The electric meters are all locked. You can't seem to reserve things online. I called the phone number I found and nobody answered. So we'll keep moving. Also remember it's 10 mi in and into a bay which is a dead end so 10 miles back out. Too bad would have been fun to get to know it.

Sitecould not figure out how to reserve a site.
