fairly level, fuse of the water, decent cell coverage for Verizon, close enough to town, definitely go down the hill and walk along the shore. the train does come by but not a big deal. there is some traffic but that dies off after dark. I shared it with two other people.

As others have described. Beautiful spot, beautiful view and sunsets.
Fairly frequent trains nearby, but not too loud.

2 Grands stationnements en gravel.
Allez au 2e c'est plus intime.
Nous sommes arrivés à 18h00. Pas mal de va et vient. Mais vers 20h00 super tranquille.
Un gros VR est arrivé vers 21h00.

Prendre note qu'à la marina il est interdit de camper pour la nuit. SVP veuillez respecter les règles.

Gros stationnement en gravel assez nivelé. Peut accueillir plus gros VR.
Il y a 2 stationnements. Allez au 2e c'est plus intime.
Celui de la marina plus bas est interdit pour la nuit. SVP respectez les consignes. Laissez la place propre.
Nous sommes arrivés vers 17h00 et profité du beau coucher de soleil.

un gros VR est arrivé vers 21h00 et s'est stationné un peu plus loin.

il y avait du va et vient jusqu'en viron 20h00 après ça super tranquille.
personne n'est venu nous déranger.

les gens de la place sont sympa.

Great view of the islands!! Cloudy for us so no sunset to be had.

Quiet with a great view of the water. A few other campers with me there as we got stuck in town during a highway closure (for an accident). The marina washroom is a bit of a walk, especially at night, but if you don’t need it then this was a nice little spot for the night. Didn’t hear the train at all overnight, but it was a holiday Monday.

Good spot for one night, large for big RV, sunset are amazing with the pretty view. Quiet, the train pass around 11pm but not very loud. Pic nic table and garbage but no toilet (if you don’t have one in your car, go to the marina). Just a weard thing, the town of Marathon decided to close the two only attraction of this city for summer 2023… the pebble beach and the Marina are in work !

Very cool place. We had a quiet night with just one train and one heli from the hospital during the night.
Police passed without any problems. The locals are very friendly and like to chat with you.

Nice view but there was not a lot to do when we were there!

Large gravel parking lot with nice view of the water. (You can't see the view in my pics because it was raining but it is a nice view.) No "no parking" signs. Two picnic tables and a bear safe garbage can. There is a very clean outhouse just down the road at the marina. (But lots of no camping signs at the marina parking lot.)
We actually stayed at the upper parking lot last night, which we found thru iOverlander. Saw this one the next day when we drove down to the marina. It would have been a better choice, nicer views and more secluded, away from any houses.
There is a train track nearby and it came thru about 2:30 am this morning, very loud, blowing its horn. Otherwise it's a very quiet area.
