Absolutely a great campground and a must for anyone looking to disconnect and enjoy a night under the stars and beach waves.... we stayed at campsite #16 which is between both restrooms and the near the entrance. The campgrounds were clean and restroom were tidy with the exception that the sinks are currently out of service. We did get a visit by a raccoon family but definitely our fault. This will be our new favorite campsite moving forward

We stayed at Site 27 (the only site available), which seemed to be the second worst site at the campground. The tree that was previously at the site has been cut down, so there is no tree/shade or much privacy, which was fine, but not ideal. There also wasn't a great flat space to put a tent so we ended up putting our tent on the pavement where you park the car. One other thing that was sort of annoying is that they had the sinks in the bathroom bagged off. For how much you pay a night at this campground, it would be nice to be able to use the sinks to wash hands, brush teeth, etc. The campground itself is really beautiful and a short walk from the beach. Would stay again but at a different site (if there's ever an availability!).

Absolutely loved it here!! Campground is surrounded by trees but from our site you could still see the ocean and can always hear the waves crashing on the shores. Site 33 is the best! It's more secluded from the other sites but still with plenty of room. The road going north was closed but plenty of hikes and beaches to explore near the campground. Firewood is $15 a bundle but the camp hosts were super nice and always readily available. 10/10 will definitely be back here again.
