Close sites with no privacy. Short walk to beach.
This campsite offers a fantastic experience with stunning bay views and direct beach access, making it a favorite among campers. Reviewers consistently praise the cleanliness of the facilities and the friendly staff, along with enjoyable amenities like an on-site store and ice cream truck. However, some campers note that the sites can be quite close together, leading to a lack of privacy, and that certain views are obstructed by seagrass. Additionally, the campground can get noisy at night, and the pricing is considered higher than other state parks. Overall, it remains a highly rated destination for beach camping.
