Perfect venue for an outdoor summer beach wedding. We had the ceremony on the hill overlooking the ocean and were blessed with great weather and sailboats in the background. The grass area provided the perfect place for lawn games. Pavilion was much bigger than what we needed. The sides come down which helped deter the wind. Unfortunately we had some bad luck with the bathrooms as the women's restroom was not working for the duration of our event.
I will start off as I have been trying for the last two summers to get a tent site here and my lack of planning last year mid winter is the cause for me not getting a site. This place is beautiful and a fishermans heaven if you like fishing and camping but I recommend booking mid winter as it reservations fill by spring for the summer. The lower tent sites I prefer as some of the reviews mention the seasonal RV campers complaining about their fires and late night conversation/partying at the upper tent sites which you don't have to deal with at the lower sites. The upper tent sites you have no tree cover and are in direct sunlight and exposed to the wind which could be nice in the hot summer nights but not in the day. The parking at the upper sites is a little more distant from the tent area as you cannot park near your tent but in designated areas on the upper and lower sites. The lower sites you can park right in front of the camping area which allows for closer access to your vehicle so you are not lugging gear like a mule and also plenty of tree cover to protect from sun and rain and more privacy, also porta pottys right out front and close to the main gate and dumpsters although a little walk to the pavillion and showers. Overall a beautiful place to camp and the fishing pier is great to catch Striped Bass, Flounder, Scup and Occasional Tautog during the right seasons/times. I had a blast here and will definately be back again!
Very pretty area! Clean, neat, scenic. Great place to park, then ride your bike around the island.
Fort Getty is a great place to fish and camp. There’s an area for RVs and Tents. There is also a Pavilion for private events. Reservations required for all. The bathrooms are very very clean. Gorgeous open areas with benches. I like to go hear regularly. You can fish off the rocks. Sturdy shoes are a must.
Visited here in the winter. The porta potty was very clean and well maintained. Plenty of parking at this time of year by the picnic tables. There is a nice hill with benches that then leads to the shore. It was very peaceful to walk alongside the water around the tip. Many stones and driftwood but actually clean. I came looking for sea glass but there wasn't much. Many wishing stones to be found on this coast! Dogs are also allowed but during busy/warmer seasons must be on leashes according to the signs.
