Frisco campground is a wonderful place to enjoy camping near the shore. Our family does an annual Father’s Day long weekend here. Which we just completed. The weather here this time of year is perfect for basic non hookup camping. Days are usually cool enough that none of the children complain about the heat. The nights are comfortable and filled with starry skies. The ocean temperatures are a little chilly but easy to get used to. The local area around the campgrounds have plenty of places to eat and shop as well.

This campground is in a great location and the restrooms and showers were clean and in great shape. But the staff does need to do a little more upkeep on the individual sites by cutting back vegetation. Most the sites are not good for RVs since they are short with inclines, but there are not good for tents either since there are no clearings. We had two small tents and a car and had to change sites since the first (P030) was on a ridge with absolutely no place to put a single tent. We changed to A002, which is one of the more roomy sites, but still ended up having to shove one of our tents somewhat in a bush so we could have a place to sit in front of it. Two people in our party ended up with ticks. Bushes and grasses need to be cut back a bit - it's a campground not some faux wilderness.

Pretty good experience. I flew in to the local airport and walked to the campground. The walk (with absolute minimal camping equipment) was manageable, but probably the maximum anyone would want to walk without a wagon or bicycle to assist. There is a general store not far away (again, walkable without any equipment), which carries "one of everything" you could possibly need.

Loved our site, P008. It was close to the beach access #49 and had some shade which was nice. It was easier to drive to the bath house than to walk. We used the loop A bath houses. The showers locked from the inside and had extra shelves. We used bathhouse C but oddly the doors locked from the outside, not sure what's up with that?! And there weren't any shelves. Beautiful campground! Hilly with great views of the ocean. And the beach there at Frisco is by far the prettiest I have ever seen on the east coast. GORGEOUS water! Clear and blue!
