Stayed Here For The Eclipse!
This campground was fantastic! I jumped on it, it was the last campground with availability in the Path of Totality for the Solar Eclipse. Sites are at perfect price points, you can get water/50a sites for $25/night, pretty darn good. Would stay again
Good campsite
I give it 3 stars because it wasn’t amazing but it wasn’t bad. It was a good campsite. Beach was pretty basic and there wasn’t much around or available in terms of parks etc but we enjoyed our time.
