The staff is friendly and also very responsive to my questions. Easy online reservations and check-in, and the camp store has everything you need. My husband and I stayed for 10 days and we were really impressed by the size of the sites, for a campground on the beach.” – via lisahosuer on RV LIFE Campgrounds
