Looks like an excellent campground IF you have a trailer. Great great great showers and clean bathrooms. For a tenter, the ground is very hard to get stakes in and the public path running along the front of the campground didn't feel the most secure. If I were to stay again, I would try to get a spot further away from the bay for peace of mind.

We love this place! We lived here for 7 months in our RV 2018-2019. Since we moved to our permanent home up island we still come back a few times each summer. It feels like coming home. Jan is an amazing person and host. When fires were happening by our hometown and we couldn't get home Jan found room for us to stay as long as we needed. Everything you need is here. Beautiful view, beautiful beach and beautiful beach boardwalk. Crofton is a cute little town offering the basics for grocery if you need. Its a perfect location for going up island or down island for vacationers! One thing I would encourage the owners is get wifi for all sites! We will be back again and again!

Had a family reunion this weekend and had a wonderful time thanks to this resort. Beautiful, clean cabin with wonderful views. I especially appreciated the quiet fan and body pillow in my room. The kitchen was well equipped for all our needs- utensil wise and the patio with afternoon shade was much appreciated. Thanks!! See you again.

Great spot. I have never stayed in the cabins cuz we got a camper but the location is perfect. Crofton is a great little town. About 4 blocks from the boat launch. Jan is a great host as well! Super cool spot.

We popped in for a night of camping and were blown away by the location. We had a site right on the boardwalk and loved waking up to a beautiful view of the ocean. The staff were very kind and helpful, letting us check in after office hours!
