While we didn't stay at the campground (friends had rented an AirBnb Yacht), we did take time to check out the area and ammenities. Great location with the beach right there, food trucks, and steps to downtown with lots of other options!

Spent 4 nights this week. Booked a beach site. Very narrow site - not much room between neighbors if one has a full size rig. Washrooms are dirty. Showers full of sand. One of the toilets was running non stop for 3 days & when I told the office, they said they're summer students & don't know how to fix. What a waste of water! Nothing to do for adults other than look at the beach. Playground & splash pad for kids. No lifeguards on duty

They changed the rules from prior years without notice. If you ask for a refund, they will keep a good chunk of it. I was too civilized to get real mad at them in person, unlike my friend, who was able to get his money back that way.

You can’t have you own electricity if you have a tent. Washrooms are way too warm no air conditioning. The beach gets way too busy especially on weekends. You can’t park more than one vehicle at a site. Definitely not coming back here DO NOT COME HERE.

Very nice site and beautiful beach. Lovely park and playground just next to the site. Recommended for families. Very good presence of police. That's why it is busy.
