I went to visit a friend and this campground is very very nice. There is a fabulous pool that is so refreshing.it was terribly hot so my friend n I took a dip. There's a patio with Tables. And chairs that are pretty darn comfortable and it looks like you might even be able to have some kind of event there if you needed to but I don't know for sure about that. My friend is so glad she choice this campground out of so many in area. Her neighbors are extremely friendly n even helpful. She's new to rv living n doesn't know much Say her neighbor's right there.Ready to help her and get answer any questions and tell her how to figure out how things up.It's really great though.And I couldn't say enough.Good things about the place.So you should check it out if you're looking into the campgrounds

This campground is just ok. It was primarily filled with full timers leaving very few sites for travelers. When we were trying to park into our assigned spot the resident next door immediately came out to greet us and asked us how long we were staying. The spots are super tight except the handful in the middle section, which are much newer, but those are super unlevel. My biggest complaint about this location is the price. It is WAY TOO HIGH for what you get.

This is good 25 mins from the beach so not exactly a shore location, the property is very well maintained, the bathroom facilities need some TLC at this point and were not cleaned daily over the weekend (saw same bundles of hair near the shower stalls). I don’t go to RV pairs too often so not sure if the restrooms were above or below par, but it was the kind of place where you put your extra towel on any surface and only turn you place your personal items on top of it. And wear flip flops in the shower stalls.
