Tidewater Campground

Katie Rogan

My family and I stayed at this campground for the 2025 season (so I could work locally as a rn.)We had a wonderful time! We made many memories at the pool and playground, both of which are kept up nicely. We went for several bike rides weekly and played in the large open fields. The bathroom facilities are cleaned at least once daily and were always tidy. The staff were always kind and helpful! These are the type of memories I will cherish forever! Thank you to the owner whom my spouse and daughter became buddies with! We will be back again, The Rogan-Akgun family

One star is generous - zero would be more accurate. Theresa is unpleasant. Period. She was rude when we called to make the reservation and we excused it away as maybe she just had a bad day. However, when I went in to the office to check out, she chastised me for having been on the wrong site. I politely reminded her that we had been there for two days so the appropriate time to say something about that would have been at the beginning of our stay, not the end. Her personality flipped and she started to be nice, asking how the stay was. I told her that it was not somewhere we will come back to because it was like camping in a cemetery and we prefer more vibrant, friendly, and engaging campgrounds that allow pets and bicycles. We were never told about the no dog policy and it was just luck that we weren’t traveling with one of our dogs. She blamed the solemn atmosphere on it being late in the season, insisting that summer is a blast there. She said no one camps this time of year and that’s why it was so solemn. But we saw many sites occupied, including at least one tent site. I explained that we camp year round and she said that’s because we are from the Midwest where it doesn’t get cold. Not sure how that made sense but anyway, she was very insistent that our bad experience was only because it wasn’t summer. It couldn’t have been the sterile vibe, the no dog policy, the signs everywhere saying “no bicycles”, the weird energy that felt like we were constantly being watched, or that we had to pay for showers. If camping in a place with zero hospitality and zero camp life vibrancy is your thing, this place is perfect. For everyone else, book anywhere but here.

Camp ground was really nice very clean, but a nice clean campground doesn't go so far if you have to deal with a really miserable person at the office... this camp ground is better suited for older couples, if you have kids do not bring them here, they can not play they can not ride bikes nothing... it was close to the ocean which was nice but that's probably all this camp ground had going for it... Maybe when I retire and no kids are with me I'd return but not till then

I agree with all the 1 star reviews, the lady that answers the phone Theresa is very rude. We had a reservation for 2 nights and was sitting in the hospital with someone trying to reschedule for another time later in the week or next and was told of the cancellation policy that we wouldn't get any money back even though we wanted to stay later in the week or next. We also stated the we had stayed before at the campground and when we ended the conversation I heard her say under her breath they only stayed twice before she hung up. I understand cancellation polices however this was a reschedule request. She doesn't care. She kept the full amount that we prepaid in full, not even a partial refund was offered. Very rude and very uncaring. Be sure to read all the other one star reviews. Not a recommended place to stay

We recently stayed at Tidewater Campground, and while the grounds themselves are clean and well-kept, our experience with the staff—particularly one employee named Theresa—was very disappointing and left a lasting negative impression. When we arrived, we were about 45 minutes early for check-in. We simply wanted to see if our campsite might be ready. Instead of a polite response, Theresa made sarcastic and rude comments about people not knowing how to read check-in times and complained about early arrivals. When I mentioned that we had waited at the nearby Walmart before coming, she said, “I’d rather you be at the Walmart parking lot than here making me mad.” It was uncalled for, but I decided to brush it off and move on. Later, while at the pool with our children, our 6-year-old jumped in (something we didn’t realize was against the rules). Theresa came out of the office and, in front of everyone, asked if he was our child, then embarrassed him by asking if he knew how to read and telling him to read the “no jumping” signs. Let’s be real every pool has no jumping signs. He was so upset he started crying and refused to swim for the rest of the day. There are ways to correct behavior, especially with children, that don’t involve shaming them publicly. If you have kids, I would strongly recommend thinking twice before staying here. The campground itself is nice and clean, but the way we were spoken to—both as paying guests and as parents—was unacceptable. Unfortunately, this overshadowed any positives about the location. As for our family we will NOT be coming back unless we hear of new owners.
