“Great park, friendly people, helpful staff, looking forward to going back”

Thomas H D 5 · Mar 2026 · Campspot

“Nice and clean property. Extra amenities with pool, showers and gaming area. There are walk in showers and washer/dryer available.”

Jim B 5 · Oct 2025 · Campspot

“Very clean property. Hosts were friendly. Nice amenities. Beach is across the road, down the path. Spots are very close together and rather small. When we sat outside we could hear our neighbors inside their camper. Wi-Fi signal was terrible.”
