There are two separate campgrounds, Windy Cove A and B. A is the closer to civilization. B has two loops, one of those loops is no-hookups, my loop!
Very nice showers, well-mowed, easy walk to the marina, and such stores and restaurants as there are in Winchester Bay. I covered the town from one end to the other then ended up at the local bar for two beers.
Checkout time is 11AM, which just isn't right! I have dawdled till nearly noon and no one has hassled me.
Notes on each visit (posted cost • senior cost):
Love this place. Mainly I love the showers. Site 50 is back in the corner of my little cove. Completely in the shade at 3pm.
The hillbilly ghetto has unfortunately set up where I camped last time, so I am across the "cove" where their loud, drunken voices (at 5 in the afternoon) are less annoying. My impression is that this is where these people live.
The campground wifi Douglas County provides works pretty well!
Staying in B this time. Section A looked very full, as indeed did the hookup section of B. The "tent camping" section however was deserted, so I've got a sweet little quiet corner all to myself, with densely packed hillbilly ghettoes on either side of me. The excellent shower fit my needs perfectly, three days since Martha's, and three more days till Edgefield; so my minimal hygiene needs are met!
