It was quiet, it was an off week and there was only 2 campers up front . No real shade and spits 11 and 12 both have trees and are very tight for bigger rigs

The campsite we had was very narrow, but it was long and located near a walking trail. It looked quite a bit different online than it did in person. With two dogs, the walking trail was way too close, and we felt we had no privacy. The campground itself was beautiful, especially being right on the water. The bathrooms and showers were very clean and well maintained. I would definitely stay here again, but I would choose a different campsite next time.
