Always love going to salt house. Altho the last time my family and I went there was a group of people in a campsite near ours where a women was yelling, cussing and slamming doors for hours around midnight which isn’t anyones fault but the people screaming themselves. Also ticks seem to be very bad this year. Other than that I love going to salt house! Front gate attendants are very nice and helpful! Beaches are nice. Bathrooms are very clean. Hot water for showers. Campsites are nice. Can’t wait for our next trip!!
