Welcome to PELICAN POINT! We are so excited to share one of our favorite places with you. Come enjoy our brand new luxury RV with all the amenities of home. We have a 38 foot Sport Trek Touring Edition trailer. It is tastefully decorated, very clean and in an excellent location within the Kampground. If you enjoy cooking then you're going to love this set up. There is an outdoor kitchen with a propane flattop grill, food preparation area, outdoor refrigerator, TV with DVD player, bluetooth speakers, and a stainless steel sink! It is the ultimate entertainment space. We have tried to achieve the "glamping" status for our guests. Gather the family, grab a cozy blanket and watch a movie on the 8 foot custom made sofa with sunbrella cushions. Take a stroll to the beach at the end of the street or just simply hang out at the pool. If you want to get really crazy, join the locals for BINGO at the clubhouse! (only offered in the winter season). There are boat slips for rent, a boat ramp, swimming pool, beach volleyball, basketball, bocce ball, badminton, children's playground, laundry facilities and more. The master bedroom has a queen sized Layla memory foam mattress, a fireplace for chilly nights (we do get some cool days every once in a while!) and an en-suite bathroom. The couch has heated massage seats that recline with cup holders, an outlet and USB charging ports. There is a wireless charging pad above the fireplace in the main living area for your convenience.
