Bomb diggity

First I checked out the crab cooker campsite nearby and the road was ROUGH. The drive is definitely worth it if you plan to stay there without going back and forth into town.

This site is closer to the main highway and is easier to access even though it’s not as pretty.

It’s a Wednesday night and there’s only one other van nearby. And an RV down the road.

In general this entire area passes the vibe check. Highly recommend!
