2 nights at Green Acres Private Campground

I came here in early November and wound up extending my stay twice because we enjoyed it so much. Connie and Jeff have a beautiful well maintained piece of property with plenty of level ground for the camper. There were several trails I explored with my pets and plenty of wood for fires at night. Plus only a 15 minute drive to the beach. It felt very private and safe the whole time I was there. I hope to be back someday!

Camp is great and well kept. Lots of space and very private but still close to anything and everything you could want. It's close to the beach so of course it's going to be hot and humid with mosquitos so be prepared if you have a tent in the hot months!

2 nights at Boho Hideaway

This was a great experience! The yurt was awesome and the hosts had everything you would need to enjoy yourself. It rained for the 2 days we were there, but the yurt stood strong with no leaks. I loved listening to the rain on the tent at night. The short walk to separate cottage had a fully equipped kitchenette, washer/dryer, and the bathroom was huge with a fantastic waterfall shower head. We had a small issue with the washer that just a phone call to the hosts was made, and they were there in minutes to fix it. It is located within 5 miles to the beach and was just a short drive to great waterfront restaurants! We will definitely be back! I highly recommend The Boho Hideaway!

I came to this beautiful sight to stay while visiting a friend for some golf. The place is beautiful, well-maintained, and Lorie is the sweetest! She accommodated a last-minute change for me without hesitation. My dog and I had long walks together, weather permitting. The atmosphere is clearly western, and I felt like the wagons had circled for a rest on our journey. The horses grazing and rolling in the grass were a big plus. Uber clean restrooms and showers. Laundry availability a plus. My golf? Cancelled due to lightning. I will be back, maybe in the spring before the summer heat.
