Avoid the weekend after July 4

I stayed there for one night on a Thursday. For such a small campground it was really full. It turns out that for the last 62 years, this campground is taken over by a large family reunion the weekend after the Fourth of July. They easily had 75 people there already and were expecting at least that many more. If you avoid that weekend, then it’s a nice campground except that it is right next to the highway. As a layover it’s fine. I wouldn’t make it a destination place though.

Good beach access

This place is very close to the beach if you are in the west campground. The east section is separated by highway 105. The bathrooms and showers are excellent, though you need $1 bills to get tokens to use for the showers. The token machine takes $5’s but I can’t imagine needing that many tokens. One token for three minutes of water. The water was nice and hot. The camping spaces are tight together for the most part, but there are coastal pine trees in a lot of areas. Good for quick overnight or a couple of nights. I’ve been here 2 nights and may skip my third.
