"Perfect place if you have a boat with you. Plenty of room to get turned around and backed in right next to your accommodations. Outlet for charging. Really a nice spot considering how built out everything is in the area. Large open grassy area back a long lane made it feel more secluded and secure. Hosts are great as is the value. For tournament fishing, I would highly recommend. I will be booking again for sure."
