Great campground
We had an awesome 2 night stay in site 103B. This site fit our needs well and was about 50 steps from Benson Beach. About 2.5 miles long and a jetty at the end. Light house , lots of trails! Just beautiful. We did not have WiFi or Verizon cell at this site.( not a problem)!

Great Costal Campground with Nice Sites & Lots of Amenities
This is one of our favorite campsites to visit year-round. If you can get a spot during the warmer summer months, yay! If not, we've still enjoyed it during the more "off-season", both February and October :).
All their spots are great, it just depends on what you're looking for. They have full hookups, partial hookups, and dry spots - FYI the dry spots are the ones with closest access to the beach.
Amenities:
- Nice bathrooms w/ showers
- Free shower facilities
- Beach access
- Fishing (if you want to take a drive down to the jetty)
- Full Hookups
- Partial Hookups
- Local store (status of whether it's open or not is unsure)
- Two lighthouses & multiple hiking trails
- Within driving distance of Longbeach if you're up for some tourist activities!
Gorgeous view
Love this campground. It’s a hidden gem. I wish we would have taken photos, but trust me. It’s gorgeous
