Campground recently opened up after flooding. If you get the right spot, it's excellent. The sites are well-spaced out, but it's very family-friendly. We had rented 4 sites all adjacent to each other and the ranger came over around 10:30pm and requested our group of 20 divide back up and socialize on our respective sites (8 people per site). We thought that was a bit ridiculous as there were tons of other campsites with groups larger than 8. It just depends on the nature of your party and those in it!

What an amazing campground for what it is. Of course it's going to be slammed at all times - the location is bomb and the price is cheaper than some surrounding sites. By no means is it cheap!!! but.... Great bathroom and shower facilities - not much privacy, but at least it's nicely spread out. Great lawn areas for kids and the grownups to play.

A little like a bunch of camp sites strewn across a field. Not the most atmospheric of environments to camp in. But as soon as you cross the dunes, heading to the sea, it's quite spectacular so make sure you get a beach walk in.

Campground isn't that great - just a big open area. Too crowded to be my style. But the dunes behind the campground, the boardwalk trail, and the access to everything in the area is amazing. Find a dune to sit on for sunset, one of the best sunset spots around :)
