What a wonderful place to visit and camp at! The water was cool in July but it felt fantastic with the hot, sunny days. The camp sites are big, too! We had 4 tents and plenty of room left over for games and such. The sunrises and sunsets were gorgeous and typically when the horses come out. Good to make sure that your food is locked away at those times especially. I’ll also add it was totally fine to camp in the middle of the summer, because of the nice breeze that lasts throughout the day and night.
Best beach in US! Not too many people and the state park provide hot shower in camping area. Dog friendly at Campground H and everything is so relaxing!
The most beautiful beach on the US east coast in my opinion. Spacious campsites with large, clean bath houses. Only gave 4 stars bc there are no hookups (except electric in only 1 loop), and it's very difficult to get a reservation
We had incredible experiences at the park last week. Beautiful, clean, well-kept beaches. We saw lots of horses. It seemed like it was going to be overcrowded because of waiting for 30 minutes in traffic but didn't feel that way at all when we made it to the beach.
*Would have liked more lunch options the day we went to that side of the beach.
Overall, just awesome. Highly recommend.
