A fine flat site tucked in a fairly private place. The location is great, easy access from the Parkway and a short easy drive to the beach. Janissa is a very friendly hostess who offered any help or recommendation needed.

Van Travelling with my Dogs!

12 ft campervan

That Dome Home RV Site was a perfect spot to tuck my van in for the night. I arrived just after dark and was only there for a rest before heading to my event early in the morning. I was still cheerfully greeted by Janissa & Jesse. They made sure I knew the logistics of the site and showed me their AMAZING fenced yard for my dogs. I only wish I stayed longer, as the yard had a fire pit with chairs and I know my dogs would have loved to run around as well! It was a very quiet night as we slept peacefully. The site was perfect - level and secure. I would definitely recommend this HipCamp site and certainly would stay again if in the area. Thank you to Janissa & Jesse for sharing your awesome space with us travelers!

Amazing spot!!

16 ft car

Janissa was an incredible host. She so kindly greeted us, gave us info about the area, and showed us where we could camp. The location is PERFECT for getting into LBI, and it was so great to have a spot to sleep in our truck that felt like home.

14 ft travel trailer · With pets

We were hurrying through and just stopped for 1 evening. For us it was the perfect rest stop. Could have taken better advantage of what Janissa had to offer if we stayed in the area a couple days. Here’s what we enjoyed while there. A quiet and level camper spot. Access to big backyard which the dogs had lots of room to roam. Dog loved it. Access to 110v and water. Easy access to parkway and away we went. Thanks again Jannisa for the hospitality.!

Great location. Felt safe.

21 ft Class B

Very easy access. Flat site. We basically used it as a site to park and sleep for the night. Perfect location for our bird photography trips. Hosts are extremely friendly. Had no problem with us coming and going, even after dark.
