Little privacy but the scenery is awesome

Being a state park on the beach, there is little in the way of foliage so there is nothing between you and the next camp site to give you much privacy. But aside from that, you are anywhere from 5 seconds to a 1 minute walk away from the beach. The smell of salty ocean air, and the sounds of the waves are a great way to relax. The area is very dark at night so if you are into stargazing, this is a great place to bring a telescope or a good camera to take some pictures. We woke in the middle of the morning to see the Milky Way in the sky above us quite clearly.

The bathrooms are good, and while not the most modern looking, were clean. We stayed in early June and found both nights to be very cold with the constant wind coming off of the water so bring an extra blanket.

busy on weekends, quiet weekdays

The campgrounds themselves are really nice, but considering there are about 400 spots, you may find that some area's are more to your liking when it comes to things like more sun or more shade. Some locations offer less space between campsites, some more. The pond water was very clear, seeing as they are fed from natural springs under the ponds. the dept. of conservation and recreation drives around several times a day in case you have any issues. There are several miles of bile trails that were very enjoyable.

The one thing you may notice is that if you stay on a Friday or Saturday night, the campground may be to capacity, like it was when we stayed. But the Sunday, and Monday nights, the 7 closest spots to us were empty, it was like having the woods to ourselves. The other complaint would be the lack of trash barrels at the ponds. There was scattered trash on the paths to the ponds from the main roads and around some of the campsites.
