What a great campground, just over the dunes is the ocean. Water was still very cold in April, but the weather was in the 70s. Watch out for the little prickers that you find around. They hurt and would probably hurt your pet's paws.

Great location, pretty much all sites are good. Good clean bathrooms, but showers are cold water only. The ocean is just over some short dunes - we could hear the surf from our campsite.

The site we chose was nicely private. It was slightly downhill and required some leveling.

The campgrounds were nicely maintained; however there are the weeds with stickers/pokers across the grass. So be careful of those. The water supplied on the campgrounds are also unheated; so don't expect any warm showers. And the enclosed shower areas have some opening for a breeze which could make the shower experience less than ideal. The bathrooms are well-lit, though. And access to the beach is plentiful. There were some mosquitoes present at dusk and dawn, but the ocean breeze helped keep most of them away. Overall great experience with my family to include young kids.
