The donut boat was easy to operate. You sit in a circle with a circle table in the middle. Everyone in our group had so much fun! The circle set up was great for talking, laughing and socializing!

Several individual private showers were a nice touch. It's a short walk to the water and public beaches. Open air fires are not permitted which is a disappointment but they do allow covered elevated fire pits if you want to carry such a thing when going camping. One thing I do not like is the open access to the camping area. Anyone accessing the public beaches can drive right into the camping area. I prefer more secure situations such as gate access.

I will continue to stop in here frequently to buy supplies and to get advice since the men here are…read morealways willing to share some wisdom with me. The reason I'm having to drop 1 star off my review is about a week ago I took 2 rods in that had the tips broken off and they said they could fix them. After they were repaired I drove about 30 minutes to where I was planning on fishing and after about the 3rd cast I noticed the tip on the rod I was using was turned almost 180 degrees from the direction it was supposed to be facing. I checked it and it was very loose and would freely spin around on the rod tip. After a couple hours of fishing like this I decided to go to another nearby spot so I went up to my vehicle and checked the rod tip on the other rod they'd also repaired that morning. Even though it had not been used for a single cast yet the tip on that rod was also loose and able to be easily turned around. I considered driving back to Holland to have them repaired a 2nd time at this tackle store since they obviously owed me a proper repair job since I'd already paid for one but not gotten what I'd paid for, but then I got to thinking that with my gas guzzler I drive I would have spent an extra $8 on gas to drive back to Holland and then come back to the area where I was fishing. So instead I took both rods to a nearby tackle shop. They looked at the rods and assured me they could easily fix the other tackle shops repairs and make sure it was done correctly this time. They did exactly as they promised and then they really surprised me by not even charging me for the rod tip repairs. I'm sure the reason they did it at no charge was because while there I did spend a fair amount on some other supplies, but still it was a nice thing to do that they certainly did not have to do since I was prepared to pay their normal price for the repairs. I do like this tackle shop and the men that work here are really friendly so I will continue to stop in and pick up supplies and get information from them. However, I won't be bringing any rods in here for any repairs in the future since they let me down the 2 that I recently brought in and paid $5 each to have the rod tips repaired on and they were not repaired correctly.
