It was a great experience camping at New Brighton State Beach. The campsite was quiet, clean, and well-maintained. The beach was just a short walk away, and the faucet even had hot water, which was a nice surprise. Both my baby and my dog had a wonderful time. A perfect spot for a relaxing family getaway!

Great little campsite right on the ocean. They have showers and bathrooms, rv spots and tent spots and they are large areas.

A great and well-kept campground. Very nice staff and great sunsets. The best thing to do is sit by the fire and grill marshmallows. ;-)
