Great campground, so so beach. Definitely not the “12th best beach” in the USA. It’s nice and shallow for a long way out, but the beach area itself is meh.

One of the last nice days of fall & this gorgeous beach was empty for at least a half hour! This would be a excellent beach for everyone, especially children, seniors, and non-swimmers. The water level is shallow and the sandy bottom goes for a long way without any weeds. Firepits and or grills are at the picnic tables. Trees along bank provide some shade if you need it.
