ScoutTried to book and oceanfront camp spot for night of. Apparently our 2003 Scamp is too old and too small to stay at this rv resort. So if you would like to be treated terribly for wanting to spend the same amount as someone with a giant RV. Don’t waste your time.
ScoutThis is a great spot. All the staff have been very friendly and helpful. They keep the place immaculately clean. Lots of great views with free hot showers, playgrounds, and firewood delivery. Just about anything you need right on the beach with jetty access all around.
ScoutI just accidentally found this campsite after visiting the lighthouse. It was a delightful little area very secluded and the staff was very nice. Had a great shower and a wonderful night sleep. I would stay here again.❤️
ScoutThis campground was fully booked from the time I was looking- starting in July, my stay was in October- so I took my chances on a same-day spot. I got very lucky and was able to get a tent spot on the water. It was very small- barely enough space for my 2-person tent next to the fence, and the fire pit and picnic table was right next to the car parking space, so zero privacy there, but I was just grateful to be able to wake up to a beach view. The bathrooms were clean enough, and the hosts were fine, though gone for most of the day when I arrived so I had no way to pay without cash. My biggest complaint is the number of trailers parked in prime tent spots. My neighbor had a trailer on a reservable tent site- one of the best sites on the grounds- and spent zero time on the campsite and all their time in the trailer. They also behaved in an inappropriately hostile way- I had my headlamp on as I was putting food and gear away in my car at around 8:45pm, and because they were sleeping in their trailer, which was parked in the a parallel parking spot where all the cars were parked, my headlamp and car light apparently was shining into their trailer window. Instead of being patient, they started flashing a very bright light at me from inside their trailer, and then banging on their trailer sides. Mind you- these people were easily in their late 60s, acting like antisocial children. Their behavior made the next morning very awkward, and could have been avoided if they hadn't been allowed to park a trailer in a site that was clearly meant for tents- that they didn't actually use once, because all of their eating and cooking and sleeping was done in their trailer. I just wish this campground had rules regarding tent sites from trailer/RV sites. Their site was huge, with multiple tent sites, a wide view of the beach, two fire pits with plenty of foliage around for privacy - and they didn't use anything but the parking spot, and were aggressive with me for spending my time outside in my site.
ScoutLove it. Great location
ScoutThis is a very clean campground located right off the dunes. The campground has direct access to miles of sand to play in. It's quiet and run by such a wonderful family.
ScoutAwesome site. Very quiet and respectful RV owners around you. Separated by trees between each RV site
ScoutStopped in for a night. Nothing fancy but did the trick. Cheap wood nearby, up the road with the big mushroom. Used the fire pit to cook dinner. Generators are definitely allowed as some dude ran his all night… bathroom was clean considering what it is.
ScoutThis rustic park is perfect for year round camping. New to trailer camping and love the river views, the trees, the easy access and closeness to town.

Weather-related flooding: Seasonal rain can impact lower-elevation sites in the region.

We made a dash for the trailer to get everything packed back in so we could move!"
