Nice campsite in general. I had a Friday and Saturday night stay so the place was crawling with kids and I felt nervous driving around.
I took off a star because there is a pedestrian highway of sorts running through this site (74) of people traversing to and from the beach. If you desire some privacy, stay away from this site. If you're up for people watching, this site may be for you.
But seriously, if the campground administrators are reading this, you guys need to establish an actual path and barricade off this site.

Clean sites, with restrooms closeby. Just a 20-minute trail to the Kiva beach. There is a small Grocery store, icecream parlour and a coffee place too.

I love the location of this camp site but there are often HUGE groups, more than there are supposed to be and they are always super loud!! Also no one knows what to do when a bear walks by, they set off their car alarms all hours of the night and honestly you won't get much sleep. Bathrooms were cleaner than last year which is good.

I loved it here!! Will be going back! So close to the water! A bear was roaming around the campground but it didn't attack anyone.

We had a great experience camping here. Soo much to do close by, great amenities, everything you need handy. Soo many places that don't except dogs is a bit annoying but we still enjoyed ourselves and would definitely recommend it for a family trip.
