The location was fantastic.
We got here though at about 1pm and had to stake out for about 40 minutes for a park as it was already very full.
$10 Uber into the city.
Thought it was fantastic until trying to sleep. A lot of groups of disrespectful people who were yelling and laughing until about 2am. Car doors slamming constantly. When you need to get up for the morning ferry it isn’t ideal.
Also when we stayed it was very windy! Be prepared for that.

Good site, only downfall is having to pay $1 for 5 minutes of shower time!
When you’ve already paid for a powered site I don’t see why you should have to pay for showers. Also only 3 for the women and it was packed!

Fantastic site!
Got here around 4pm and it was already very full. We stayed New Years Eve and there was easily 100 free campers or more. One long drop toilet hence the -1 rating. Good spot to swim in the lake too, just be mindful of the ski lane which we weren’t and got yelled at by some locals. Very quiet at night!
