Visitors can enjoy a peaceful atmosphere where the rhythmic sound of the Gulf surf creates a relaxing backdrop for an unforgettable RV vacation.

This is a great campground and at a nice price. Sites are well maintained, spacious, and full hook up. The hot water in the women's bath house isn't all that great but it's clean.

Very pretty place, nice walk to the beach. But, the spots are very tight, we have a 43 foot 5th wheel and we had a very very hard time parking it

Someone please tell me who I need to contact to voice my displeasure at this campsite. My husband and I drove from San Antonio to this campground to leave our camper overnight. We reserved a spot prior by calling office. Once we arrived we were told because the toy hauler and camper does not have a recognized name brand logo we could not park there. I am a retired 25 year veteran and my husband 20 year veteran but because our camper did not cost $100k we can’t use this campground. Help me make sense of this. Who do I need to talk to. The camp host was awesome trying to help us, I don’t blame him, he was following the rules. Our camper is not fancy on outside but it has two beds, full shower and bathroom, plus full kitchen. I’m sorry the outside does not meet the beautiful standard. As a retired LT Col Air Force veteran with a bronze star I am highly disappointed with this situation.

This is one of my favourite places on Earth. The water is usually that beautiful clear blue green colour. The cottages are amazing. My family has been coming here on a yearly basis for decades. Lisa and Lin in the front office will do whatever they can to help! You're literally across the street from the Blue Angel's Hanger! You can hear them revving up in the morning and hear that beautiful sound of them flying by. Would not change my time there for the world. I truly believe this is my father's favourite place in the world. Do not miss it, but call early as those who have been, I believe often return. John in maintenance was great and helped with a family member in a wheel chair when we were stuck. I will return here as often as I possibly can. Also, walking distance from the light house and the Naval Aviation Museum where you can get an inexpensive meal (it is free...unless you go to one of the IMAX movies). Do not miss it...it is also not too far from the former O'Club which is where a famous pilot landed his plane in the pool! You can see a holywood version with John Wayne on, "The Wings of Angels". There is an NEX on base (not in walking distance unless you want to walk really far), with some fast food options. You will not regret going!

We camped and the facilities were always clean and worked well. The short walk to the beach was nice and the staff and camp host were always very helpfull.
