It was spring break and the camp grounds were busy. We always enjoy this camp ground! It was a little different this year. Campers would stay a few days and another camper would pull in. Before, the campers would stay all week but notices a lot of these were from out of state.

Very clean park. The gate keepers are Super nice. Glad to see the fish cleaning house open and working. Great idea for the little bridges across the grassy areas that were put in. A lot of improvements over the winter. We really enjoy camping at Shoal Bay
