Both campgrounds have a variety of play equipment for youngsters.

April 20 felt like we were in prison by Brian Reber
park review stars; one to five dnr kept patroling and walking into our camp and other campsites just to be nosey and questions you on the tables if you bring your own they check to see if they are theirs even tho they are plastic and theirs are wood. Music cant be loud enough for you even to hear or enjoy. If you start laushing they actually will tell you to quiet down. They inspect your drinking habits, even if its just pop they treat you like your a drunk or criminal. There is really no fun in their camp ground. The beach is wonderful but that is all you can enjoy and if its raining u can forget that too.
