Beautiful, secluded campground. The glamping sites really are as nice as pictured, and the tent was larger than I expected!
Bath house we were closest to is smaller, no big vanity mirror or somewhere to plug in a hair dryer, etc, but the comfort of the tent was unbeatable! We will be returning!

We were glamping in the yurt when post-tropical depression rain came through from Hurricane Nicole and we felt comfy and cozy through the downpours. It would be better if the yurts had the lower structural member cut back to even with the vertical post as it e tends out and is easily banged into with your head when walking around yurt.

We (two adults and our large dog) were very impressed with the glamping sites and the campground as a whole. The campground was beautiful and the sites were spaced out well enough to provide some privacy. The bathrooms were clean and showers were great. The glamping tent was a really nice way to upgrade the traditional camping experience. The bed was comfortable and charging station was a nice touch. We stayed in the middle of October and brought extra blankets because we worried we would be cold, but we didn't end up using them even when it got down to 30* overnight. It also rained all night and the tent stayed perfectly dry inside. Definitely recommend this campground and if you're looking to make it a little more luxurious, book the glamping site. You won't be disappointed!

Policies & Rules
General
- Limit 6 people and 2 passenger vehicles (no trailers or travel trailers) at each site. Read site dimensions and driveway dimension carefully as some sites may only accomodate a single vehicle.
- This site does not allow for an additional camping unit. There is not enough room to accomodate personal trailers, pop-ups, RV units, or 5th wheels. Any person arriving with a reservation for a glamping site hauling aforementioned equipment will be asked to park the equipment off site for the duration of their stay.
- Group parties or special events are not permitted. Be aware that quiet hours begin at 10:00 p.m. Gate closes, but is not locked, at 8 p.m. and opens at 8 a.m.
- The power units have approximately 1000Wh (12.0V, 1,000Ah). They are excellent for recharging phones, laptops, and tablets, illuminating small lights, etc. They are not intended for heavy uses of heaters, large fans, cooking equipment or other heavy electronics. Units cannot be recharged quickly (once the power unit is drained it takes 18 hours to re-charge), so guests should use the power available conservatively. Charge times for various devices are located on the units and if damage or impairment of the normal operation of the unit occurs guests will be liable.
- Due to the natural outdoor environment and the fabrics and canvas of the tent, as well as comfort for future guests, we do not allow smoking inside the tent or on the tent porch. Please also be considerate and remove dirty/muddy shoes or boots on the tent porch.
- Pets are allowed on-site. Dogs must be kept on-leash or contained and supervised for the duration of your stay. Dog fences are not allowed in the campground. Pets are not allowed on the beach.
