After years of using this campground (twenty plus years) , we were told that they had placed us in a site that was tree covered when we specifically asked to be in the clear for using our Starlink . My wife called to check on the site and make sure everything was set,,.The grand daughter of the owners was very rude on the phone. We canceled ! We had made our reservations January 31st. This is the way you treat long time visitors?

I had made reservations to take my son and his friend to the beach. Sadly his grandmother passed away so he will be attending the funeral instead. When I called to inform the girl who answered the phone about this, she said you are within the 7 days so we will need to charge your card. A little shocked under the circumstances, so when I asked she told me it was their problem that she passed away and they are a business and that’s their policy. When I asked to speak to the manager she said it doesn’t matter she’ll just tell me the same thing. Very heartless company or their workers are. What she doesn’t know is I have owned a business too and kindness goes a long way. Of course after I got off the phone she charged my card before I could speak to her manager tonight.

Great campground. Awesome beach access. Relaxed and nice people that work there. Clean facilities, cute little pool to swim in when you are beached out. We will be back!

This is a campground; well maintained and small with enough space between to feel private. At 75$ it’s a bit more than we are used to but being right at the beach is wonderful! The people seem nice, and the only thing missing seems to be a laundry.

Came here for the tent campsite, which is the closest to the beach according to my research. Totally was what I imagined, just over the sand bank and you're there. Doable mile beach walk/run to the pier. Very chill atmosphere with the other RV-ers, everyone waves at you. Main office had games and AC, very welcoming staff. Bathrooms were always clean and void of any odor. Only knitpick is that the restroom stalls had barely enough space between the toilet and door plus some goat heads at the campsite, but those don't stop me from coming back. For sure will recommend to our friends.
