We love this campground. It’s first come first serve and the waterfront sites do fill up on the weekends. Lots of wildlife to watch and frequent rocket launches to see.

I really liked this campground. The sites were all level with water and electricity, though there is no rhyme or reason to the layout. 20 of the sites are on the water and they cost $30 a night. Off the water is $20 a night. You will need to purchase a "membership" to stay. It is good for a year and costs $25. No real hiking fr... more
