I really enjoyed this campground. The timing was great , off season and not a full campground.
The outside warm shower was refreshing . The sounds of the surf at night was almost as good as the walks along the beach in the daylight
great stay

Sites are ample, bathroom has better than average facilities. There are no trees for shade, bring your own pop-up.
That being said, when it's windy... It's windy.
Overall a great choice for convenience being just a few miles for shopping and restaurants.

There was such a nice sea breeze, that we didn't even turn on the air conditioner in the camper. We slept with the windows open. What a great sleep!

I wanted to give one star so people would stay away from our favorite CG, but I can't really do that. We've stayed here many, many times before and never been disappointed.
Bring your own shade, bring bug spray and sunscreen, expect bugs if there's not enough wind to keep them down. Remember you're camping in the sand on the beach, and don't go barefoot until you're actually ON the beach. The sand-spurs WILL get you if you don't.
