I loved tent camping at Maggie’s. Everything I would need was provided: hot shower, clean port-a-potty, and a partial kitchen. Maggie and Michael are the bests hosts I’ve met in my 5 months of traveling. I was met and shown around when I arrived. These two have great musical talents and a lot of stories that I really enjoyed and learned something from. I would absolutley stay here again and may even make it a must stop when in the area.

4 nights at 30A Bay Hideaway

We've been sojourning here for almost five years. We drive our camper from Kansas City to the Everglades for the winter and stop here at the Bay Hideaway to and from to visit our six grandchildren that live in the area. It is a perfect Hideaway, with no 'stranger danger', a huge lawn to play on, a shallow bay for the kids to have fun catching crabs, a very long dock, a tree house, not to mention the quiet and the gorgeous views. I love the porch, and the trees and marsh for the excellent birdwatching. In the four days we were here this visit we saw over 15 types of birds including a Clapper Rail, a Bald Eagle, and lots of shore birds. Crystal and Nathan have been helpful and a pleasure to communicate with... very highly recommend staying here!

7 nights at Sand Between Your Toes

If you’re looking for a convenient spot to park your camper near the Laguna Beach end of Front Beach Road, this location is a good choice! The hosts live on-site in their own camper while building a tiny home, and they couldn’t be more helpful. When we discovered a wasp nest in the fire pit, the host ran to the store and took care of it within 10 minutes. We also had an issue with power to our outdoor kitchen area, and he generously lent us his personal extension cord to make sure we were all set. The property is fully enclosed with a private gate that wraps around the entire lot. You get your own key to the gate each time you come and go, which made it feel extra safe—even though the area itself already felt safe. There’s more than enough space to park a large camper (ours is 38 ft with 3 slides) plus an additional vehicle or two. There are sand spurs, which is pretty common near the beach, so just be mindful not to walk around barefoot—and for your pups too!
