Enjoy staying in campground. Very clean & spacious campsites. Bathrooms are heated & has a laundry room on the other side. Very near several cave attractions & others. We will be going back again as we travel around.

Yhis was a cute little park. It was Christmas, so the park was almost completely empty. We walked a trail to the beach. Shower was pretty clean. Nice experience overall (and we got a great view of a huge woodpecker)

Beautiful park. Large campsites. Friendly staff. Somewhat difficult to get to, but worth it.
