Lazy river! Pool, large kiddie pool, splash pad, bar, lots of outdoor sports available. Trail. Pier on lake. Restaurant.
I grew up going to this campground every summer. It was and still is some of my favorite memories.
First of all, they have a water slide! The staff let us use it all day long. And there was never any other kids there. We got to keep it all to ourselves. Playground and volleyball area were a plus.
Pond/nature trail were cool. Bathrooms were always super clean and the staff were friendly and helpful.
It’s been a few years since I’ve been back (as an adult now with kids of my own). But I would say over twenty years it has stayed consistent in its performance.
If you’re looking for seclusion this is not the place to pick but the sites aren’t stacked right on top of each other either. Good for RVs and tents. Close to the beach and town.
Great camping area with dog parks close by. The campground is a little narrow if you are wide but all in all enough room to get through. All the amenities were clean and well kept. The local cat population is standoffish except ol 3 legs he was kind and loved the petting. The grounds are only a few blocks from the beach and it's beautiful! Had no problems here at all, everyone was so friendly!
As of May 2026, this is NOT a dispersed camping site. We were told by law enforcement that we could not park or camp here overnight.
This place is the worst Ive ever stayed at. The office and pool look great. Nothing else does. It looks and feels sketchy and unsafe. If you get stuck anywhere near that highway you will get no sleep. The traffic is constant day and night, loud trucks and speed limit is 55 mph so it like sleeping in the middle of the interstate. We've slept better at a rest area or truck stop. The park feels dirty and dingy, the one side of the park has an 8 ft section of the fence busted out. The only landscaping is at the office. Save your money and find somewhere else or go to a rest area.
All sites are paved in concrete, and have full hookups, power/ water/ sewer. There is a golf course on-site. The pool has a lazy river. The clubhouse grille serves up alcoholic and non alcoholic drinks, and their menu items are quite tasty.
We thoroughly enjoyed our week here and will definitely come back. We stayed in site 260, in the quiet 21+ section.
Small park with small lake. Nice sites, level gravel or grass. Amenities include laundry, rest rooms, showers, wifi. ATT a little sketchy.
Quiet, secure, upscale, and in a prime location a few minutes from the beach. Restaurants of all kinds are everywhere. Park the rig and bring your bike, because the trails will lead you to everything.
