Review summary
Generated from real Hipcamper reviews
This campsite offers mesmerizing views right on the water, providing a serene environment with stunning sunrises and sunsets. Visitors often spot dolphins and other wildlife, adding to the unique coastal experience. However, the site is close to a busy road, which can result in noticeable traffic noise that diminishes during the night. Some campers noted cleanliness issues, such as trash or dog waste, which could affect the overall experience.

Camped in a 10 ft rooftop tent, Jul 2026.
It was okay
The site is in front the water but in front of the road too and it's my fault because the pictures show it clearly.. we set up our camp and there were too many flies and ants (Like a lot all over our stuff and feet). We did not spend the night there (we had to find a new place last minute) maybe we were not as lucky as the other campers before (the good reviews made us choose this site).

My family and I love this spot so much we came back for our 2nd trip. I highly recommend Fathom's Restaurant while you're there! The public beach was very nice to visit for a day. The tide was very very low on our last day and it was so awesome to be able to walk out and explore. This visit we saw SO many dolphins in the bay. There were jellyfish, sting rays, crabs near the campsite and it was wonderful to watch them. At the public beach a group of manatees come in the water so close to shore too!
