Disappointing Restroom Situation – Not What We Expected We were very disappointed to find out after booking our stay that the campground was using temporary accessible climate-controlled portable restroom units instead of proper restroom facilities. This was never made clear in the booking process, and had we known, we might have reconsidered our plans. There were only six unisex units for the entire campground (five of them really small), which was nowhere near enough for the number of campers. By late afternoon and especially after sunset — when most people returned from the beach — the units were crowded and completely out of toilet paper. While the idea of "climate-controlled" might sound nice, it doesn’t make up for the lack of cleanliness or basic maintenance. By the end of the day, the units were in poor condition. Campgrounds should either be upfront about these kinds of temporary setups or limit bookings to match the capacity of the available facilities. This really impacted the quality of our stay. The campground is definitely small. I’d consider going back only if they add regular bathroom cabins and a proper place to wash utensils after eating. This time, we booked right by the road (the few spots available), and it really took away from the experience — you could hear all the traffic noise and see the bright lights from the street all night. If I were to return, I’d make sure to book a spot closer to the beach instead. The staff was very friendly and kind and they even called to say our spot was ready before time.

Love this place, we come here once a month. It is a small campground but love the location. It is right on the beach and the new bathrooms have air condition. There is a pretty restaurant across the street with beautiful water views. This time we took the trolley all the way to the end just to see how far it would go, It actually went pretty far. It stops at one of our favorite restaurants Marina Jack on the marina. Many stops along the way and free. Just tip the nice driver. Also stops at the public beach. They have the best afternoon sandbars w the low tide. Stay late for it.

We are definitely in love with this place. Mobile restrooms are the greatest part. Very cool, clean, fresh. Great playground for kids. Safe place with no noise.

We had a great time at the beach! We got to watch the sun set over the gulf coast and swim in the ocean. It was a beautiful evening.

If you're expecting a spacious campground with private sites this may not be for you however if you want a short walk to a beautiful beach it's worth all 4 stars. The reservation system is still cumbersome and feels like there is some favoritism to friends and locals, I get it's a county park. Enjoy it if you can get in.
