Sites are easy to back into but they are close to each other. Access to water is good. We didnβt use the bathhouses much but they are clean enough. The dump station is functional for that necessity.
Relatively convenient to the village and great access to the beach. Most campers kept to themselves and enjoyed their experience as we enjoyed ours.

The park is well maintained. Easy to self check in and find your spot if you use the website to get oriented. The campsites are cleared and restrooms easily accessible.
Noted issues were thousands and thousands of sand spurs. Unable to walk without foot protection. Bathrooms do not have shelves so changing is difficult. Shower water is ground temperature. Felt like water went through a chiller before it goes to the shower.
Reservation process is easy and works well. Will not return due to sand spurs. Dogs WILL be miserable due to sand spurs if you bring them.
If you pull a camper, stay inside of your trailer and wear your shoes when you go outside it is great.

If you enjoy boondocking it was great. It would be much more enjoyable with water at every campsite. As close together as the sites are, two back to back could share an outlet.

The experience was magical. The sites are well maintained, and so are the bathrooms and bathhouses. The sunrise is stunning. Climb the sand dunes and watch the sun pop up over the ocean! The mosquitoes were missing in action, but a few deer flies showed up for the party. Everyone was quiet and respectful. Great for families and a gather of friends.

We stayed in our travel trailer, this is a nice campground in a beautiful setting. Relatively large camp spots. There are no electric hookups, in hot weather I imagine there will be a lot of generators running. The bath house was nice in loop A but was surprised to only see one outdoor shower.
We had heavy rain and some of the sites had standing water. Our site A-13 remained dry.

Close to the beach, nice clean sites with good separation. Bath houses were clean as were the showers. The campground is a short drive or ride on a bike to town. Good selection of activities, restaurants, and a nice grocery store that we found to be very well stocked with any thing you might need.
