  • Picnic tables and fire rings are scattered throughout the area.
  • No designated, individual sites at this campground, rather open grassy meadows for tents and RV's make it a perfect rendezvous for group camping.
  • Dogs on leash are allowed and there is no additional charge to bring the family pet to the beach with you. Dog owners must pick up after their dogs; waste bags are located at the front entrance and near the boathouse. Aggressive dogs and their owners will be asked to leave.
  • There are permanent rest rooms in some locations and portable toilets available in others.
