The hosts were not there and someone else in a huge RV with 4 ATVs set up on our campground and refused to leave.
The ATVS were riding until 2 am and started again at 6:30 am.
Don’t bother making an online reservation because it will not be honored.

ATVs still running at 2am, people arriving and shining their lights on campsites at 3am. This is not a site where people can sleep.

Amazing placement by the ocean, clean campground. Only thing I would suggest is putting soap in the bathroom for hand washing, especially with Covid.

Clean camping spots and clean bathrooms. The camp site quiets down right at curfew and I can sleep! I’ve been visiting since 2002 and will be back again!!

The spot was wonderful and five steps away from the restrooms and no one on the west side of you because of the hill. Would definitely book again.

Walking distance to the beach, but the campsite itself was sheltered from the wind.
