Beautiful park and very nice beach. We stayed in the small cabin - #186 and it was 70’s out. The cabin has a small fan so it was very warm when sleeping. The site does not have any shade at all. The park is very dog friendly and we were excited about the dog beach but apparently it’s been closed for some time. Negatives - the first night we were there I was sitting with my 24 year old son and my 5 year old grandson. We were talking and I think my grandson was giggling as we sat around the campfire - it was about 10:45. Another park employee scared the stink out of all of us when he came charging up to our fire with a flashlight in our faces - he said we were being way too loud - and I thought he was joking. He reminded us that quiet hours are at 10 pm and I can assure you we were not yelling but talking in normal voices. He is lucky I didn’t stand up and defend myself and my five year old grandson who was scared to death - he never introduced himself as a park employee - we almost packed up and left at that point because we thought it was very strange. Secondly, the cabin sits across from the Park Hosts - we were putting some branches that were on the ground in the fire on the second day and a park employee drove up and scolded us for cutting branches - which we did not do. We were told later that the Park Hosts thought we were cutting branches because they sit outside all day and pretty much have direct line of site to the cabin - we felt like they were watching us the entire time and we ended up packing up and leaving a night early. Great park, but I would not choose to stay in cabin 186 ever again or near this area of the park.
