#5 - Play in the Shade

I've been here multiple times. I love sleeping under the trees, then taking that short hike to the beach. The stars at night make you want to put out the fire just to see them better. Will be back again.

#10 - Sunny Spot

I loved spot #10. You're in-between two spots but there is some room and tree coverage to create a sense of privacy. The view of the field was nice and I liked being towards the end of the campsite as it meant minimal if any car traffic. The walk to the beach is fairly easy and the trail goes under highway one so you don't have to cross over it. The very last bit of the trail down to the beach is steep. Walkable but steep, so heads up. Great campsite overall, I definitely recommend.

#6 - Nice Big Spot

Loved how everything was so close to the camp site like water and portables. And the beach is very close.

#9 - Walk into Forest

Love it 🫶🏻

Here's the corrected text: Site 9, in my opinion, is the best one in the campground. I went with my friend, and we really enjoyed our stay. The porta-potties were clean, and they also have showers next to the big fire ring that leads to the trail beach. I just have two points that I didn’t like: one, they never answered my question when I texted them, and two, they don’t have a trash can in the whole campground. I saw a lot of garbage spilled on the floor because some animals tore it up. Overall, it was a good stay, and I liked the hiking opportunities that it offers.

Great spot near the beach! We really enjoyed it. Having wood conveniently for sale was great too.
