It was fine. We didn’t use the bathrooms so can’t comment. The caretaker was polite and helpful. We didn’t realize there is a dog shelter about 100 feet from our site (#54) and it got quite loud a few times with barking dogs. If we return we would choose to stay on the river side, might be buggy but it appears quieter.

Loud barking dogs, homeless people everywhere, no where to put trash. Felt like we had to have everything locked up at all times. Surrounded by seagulls & near loud busy road. Would not recommend, especially for people staying in tents.
