Kids had a fun time, good spot. Two things though is my kids and girlfriend all got cut up by sharp rocks in the water by the beach, and there was a hell of a lot of seaweed. Not enough to not come back though 👍

Very nice campground and beach. 3 piers for fishing, and the boat ramp is right next door also. The store is very nice and the operations director was very friendly.
