Clean potable water, beautiful star filled night skies, facilities with flushing toilets and showers, 2 beautiful clean beaches , electric and non electric sites available, not outside wood but wood available for purchase $6 per bundle
Clean beach, kayak rental onsite, the restrooms/changing rooms need a little love, but are honestly on par with other state run parks I've been to. Very shallow which is great for little kids. We had a blast! Don't mind the occasional water snake either :)
We camped for a week. We ended up moving our site because the people next to us were really loud. But the staff was really helpful about it and just switched us to one towards the back since most people wanted sites near the front. There's a couple bath houses with restrooms, sinks, and showers. They were all pretty clean. Each non-electric campsite has a fire ring and a picnic table. There's a swimming beach, hiking trails, and a jetty with a paved walkway. We found all kinds of cool things, the kids went swimming and fishing. We stopped at the little secondhand shop by the church to get the campfire cooking things we'd forgotten. The park sells campfire wood and ice. I really enjoyed the boardwalk trail, it might be my favorite part. But when you get out there, explore all the accessible beaches, each one is different. Some of them are even cliffs. We will absolutely be going back again.
Worth the drive and walk. Some displays need attention but I believe they are going for the abandoned look. Make sure you walk all three buildings there is a variety of work by multiple artist.
Some seem odd others amazing. Go win open mind and just enjoy the art. Walk out to the water. There is no set path, so it's easy to miss things. Wander its okay!
