The rich dude, who owns the property next to the beach on the right, was just harassing everyone, trying to make sure he let them know that he owns the beach, too. He is lucky he didn't catch my hand… Full review by Fishfre

Beautiful campground. We had a water site, small trail that led straight to the beach. Beautiful. We would rate this plate 5/5 if dogs were permitted on the beach. We were irritated about that, o… Full review by Sher B

Q:
Do they have water as well as electric hookup?
A:
The sites all have electric. To my knowledge there are no water hookups. However, there are water spigots throughout the park and a place to fill your RV with water when you come in.

Q:
What was the bathroom situation? I am reading they only have one shower house/ bathroom on the beach side. Was there a vaulted toilet nearby? I also ready some were padlocked. Any suggestions on what to bring, we are going this weekend. Thanks

As far as what to bring (sorry didn't see that part at first), your typical camping gear. We actually travel with another couple that has all the "stuff", so we just bring out tent, sleeping items, chairs and food. Each site as a picnic table and a nice fire ring. You can get wood there. It's 6 dollars Afro a small bundle. We got ours just outside the park. Someone was a selling by there home. 3 large bundles for $10. If you can, go that route. Many people had bikes. The beach is nice, so bring items to hang out there. The town is just a short walk. There's not a lot to do there. We walked to the harbor, went into a couple stores, then the guys hung out at a sports bar while we got ice cream and went to the Moose Store, which is right on US 23. We broke camp on a Sunday, so we went back to the Sport's bar for breakfast so we wouldn't have to deal with the cooking mess. You might want to bring some cards or other games. We just usually talked around the fire. I hope this helps and that you have fun!
Q:
looks like you only have one bathroom area besides the outhouses; is that true? For 200+ campsites?

They tore down the two bathrooms and showers a few years back and replaced it with one big one on the beach. A very poor move. It is a very long walk from many campsites. The mens has only two stools and two urinals for a 200+ unit park that is always full on the weekends. There are toilets in some shower rooms but the lines for the showers make that bathroom choice unrealistic. There are some pit toilets but they have been locked for years, no manpower to clean them I was told. Whoever thought this "improvement" was a good idea has clearly never camped.

Actually,the campground has 1 small, poorly designed restroom/bathhouse. Both of the original bathrooms have been torn down. On weekends, the lines to use the showers and the women's toilets are the longest I've seen in any campground.
