The camp is wonderful. The noseeums ate us alive and flew through the camper screens. The camper also didn’t have good airflow and it was very hot, the sea breeze couldn’t blow through. We left after one night, next time we’ll bring bug nets for inside the camper

Very nice campground - good access to the beach and a beautiful bike path into town. No hookups but I enjoyed that in that there were no big vehicles, mostly self-sufficient vans or tents. thank you for providing heated bathrooms in the dead of winter.

Clean facilities and well-maintained campground. Our site D17 was surrounded by trees so was well protected from the wind. Look forward to returning!

The location was gorgeous with plenty of room between sites and very well maintained. Bothrooms were clean, showers were warm (not hot). We had our own [private] beach access. Very close to town for shops and excellent food!

I believe the campsites not being used should be better regulated. Had to move for one night. No one was there. What is the plan for hot showers in the future? I believe most campers would pay for hot showers!!!
