Beautiful views at the beach, a short walk down, few people and lots of space, felt like we had the place to ourselves. Sunsets are spectacular. There are some biting flies and mosquitoes for sure so wear light colored clothing and bring your Deet spray. Towels are handy to wrap around your legs when they get vicious. The bathrooms are clean and well kept. Water pump works well.

Second time camping here. More bugs in June than our previous trip in August… still a beautiful place. Great hosts. Everything is clean. We hit a day in the high 80s while camping and the kids swam all day. Little breezy but it kept the bugs away. Definitely would recommend it.

Best campground we’ve ever stayed at!! The hosts were nice & kept the place very clean. The pit toilets even smelled nice. The sites on the right have direct beach access. The ones on the left have to walk to the public access path. There are games available to take to your site to play. The sites are spread out. We had a great time.
