Pleasant locale but a total bust for tent camping. The campsite is a tiny field with nothing separating sites. . With the trains going by day and night since the park is near the tracks, don’t count on getting much sleep. Our tent actually shook from the freight trains. The sound was deafening.
The Palm Island is a private group campground with bathrooms kitchen and a huge gazebo with over 12 picnic tables available for groups to rent. It's far away from the other campground so that you are free to be yourself and then have to worry about keeping it down or bothering others. We had a great time there for Martin Luther King weekend. You get to experience camping but you still have the conveniences of running water a few electric plugs and showers available about a 3/4 mile away walk at the regular campground. The view, the wildlife in the privacy makes it a very unique and wonderful place for groups to camp together.
Great place for setting up a tent! Its only a few miles off the river road, convenient for cyclists doing the coastal route. The park is full of birds and other creatures, who aren't shy about "asking" for food. Many thanks to the helpful lady at the check in desk who took my calls and got me set up.
