For what it is it's OK. It's pretty enough and well maintained. HOWEVER, before you go you should know there is NO water point. You have to bring all your own. And the restroom is a one holer latrine. But it was handicap accessible and clean and seemed to be sufficient for the usage. The biggest problem when I was there was too many loud, obnoxious people with no consideration for others. People go camping to get away, nobody wants to hear your music or you yelling long after the POSTED quiet hours, especially from across the camp.

Went Kayaking here. Easy in/out. Road to bay is a bit rough just go slow. There are many small bays to paddle around to without getting into main channel. Beautiful place.

We had a blast. The drive in off the main road is long and just gravel. We stayed a little back from the water but it was still a short, easy walk. We had a blast fishing, swimming, walking around, and just playing in our camping space. Our space had a picnic table and a fire pit already there. The ticks and mosquitoes here were horrendous. The bug spray and bands we had did little to help. The wildlife here made my kid's trip! They loved the frogs, butterflies, fish, squirrels, etc. We also went to the Bison preserve and drove around twice to see them. We then stopped at the animal center and saw all the wildlife they had there. Both of these were only a few miles away. Our dogs went everywhere with us. The animal center even had kennels to put them in while you visited! We loved our trip!
