We camped here for 5 nights. The camping is beautiful - live oaks everywhere, and very quiet at night. During the day (and especially the weekend) there are plenty of kayakers and visitors around the campground - this was fine with us as we were fossil hunting all day. The bathrooms are efficient and not fancy. The water has a strong sulfur taste, so bring your own if you don't like that. We loved our time here and we'll be back if we're in the area again!
