The hike to our Campground was about 3/4 of a mile. They do have carts available although it is still quite a difficult hike up and down Hills. There is no shade at the campground or around and the garbage cans are all the way towards the entrance. There are rattlesnakes and low Shrubbery which you should not burn because it will produce a lot of embers and it's a very dry around. Bring your own firewood. In august, it was very cool at night and almost unbearably hot during the day. You do have a nice view of the marina, which is filled with boats. Also you're quite far from others, although if they are talking loud, you'll hear them
