We LOVED our stay! Exactly what the shacknof my dreams is (and more!). Back to basics with the cutest touches of rustic design, the amazing mezzanine and cave which the kids thought was super exciting! The outside kitchen with the perfect amount of shelter, the barn doors that let the breeze in and the amazing beach just two minutes walk away. Such a great spot to relax and rest. Amazing for the dog too! We’ll totally be back.

We took a group of friends here for their first camping experience. Lots of space, and the amenities (toilet, hot showers, communal kitchen) helped ease them in to the camping lifestyle.
David and Michelle were such great and welcoming hosts and were very easy to communicate with. We definitely will come back and highly recommend this campsite
