We got a nice spot (almost a secluded one), still close to the bathroom and within walking distance to the beach. It wasn't that crowded when we went (although it was a holiday). Shower though is only four minutes (ahhhh, not enough for me LOL).
That's a lot of the people there keep their dogs OFF a leash. When walking them there is no problem, our dogs are not violet and mind and always on a leash also pick up your poop. Nice campground but locals walk big dogs there at the park.
It's nice but it gets crowded easily. Only complaint is the park is so small, it's easy to crowd the little road around the park. Fair warning, the park is so small that if anybody is playing loud music into the evening, you're gonna hear it. Airplane noise from the airport is a little startling at first but you get used to it if you stay for a few days.
Not a bad place, just not good. Told maintenance about broken toilet, next day still wasn't fixed or "closed" note on door. Shower took my token, but didn't work--had to get re-dressed and change shower room. Homeless digging thru dumpster and recycling cans, I wonder if they're also snooping through the campsite at night....?
A small (23 sites) quiet, inexpensive, campground within walking distance from the beach. Full hookups and the 50am power is full power. The bathrooms and showers are basic, coin operated (3 minutes per $1) It’s next to a small park with lagoon that is fishable, and paddle-worthy. The only hand-launch is across the road from the campground. Lots to do in this area, just a few minutes away by bicycle or car.
