We were here for 2 nights with 17 ft camper and 2 dogs.
Everything worked great and we had a wonderful time.
Like any beachy area, there are some goathead burrs. My dogs only encounter 1 burr the whole time. They loved the beach. We had them on long ropes so they could enjoy the water.
Only warning would be to protect yourself at night from mosquitos. Turn off all lights before opening your door. Welcome to the south.
Overall, very relaxing and quiet. Enjoyed the sunrises and sunsets. Would stay again. 😊

We loved staying there. Views were spectacular. We got to meet Glenn and his wife and had wonderful conversations. Glenn gave us information on the area and gave us some recommendations on the area.
Glenn and his wife were not the intrusive type as I have heard about on some other HipCamps.
Glenn, thanks for the recommendations on where to buy some boudin and other Cajun food to bring back home. I bought a lot and can not wait to dig into it.

A small rv park, quaint and quiet on the two week nights I was there. Shower had nice hot water. Customer Service was wonderful, made sure I had what I needed. There is a little pool even! There are some activities if you bring a group, a volleyball net. I think i saw a bridge to a trail, though I didn't explore. Neighbors were friendly and courteous. Great stop over!

It was a great little spot to be near the Gulf breeze and sounds of the waves!
The camping areas are well maintained. Nice little path to the beach from the site.
We walked along the beach to Peveto Woods and spent time on the trails- maintained but also somewhat primitive.
It was a great stay, even though we had to leave early because a storm with high winds coming through.
Glenn was very responsive and helpful.
We recommend this spot to anyone looking for a quirky, laid-back coastal experience.
