Stayed there this past week and I must say the staff and owners were awesome, the owner overheard me on the phone looking for my Uber that kept changing times to pick me up and actually took me 25 minutes to get a rental car, the staff made accommodations so that we could have our rv and trailer together so we didn't have to go to the overflow lot, we will definitely be visiting there again.

It's a beautiful campground and very clean. By day we couldn't ask for more! After dark the neighboring campers started getting loud. They were shouting and screaming past 12:30 am. Little kids were running around after 11 pm and dogs were barking nonstop. Every campground we previously camped had a quiet after 10 pm policy for the respect of other campers.

This place is huge! Very close to Coastal Highway - the main drag in Ocean City and Fenwick. Lots of permanent and temporary spots. The temporary spots ranged from wooded, to waterfront, to buddy spots which accommodated four campers and created a courtyard. Laundromat was clean. Lots of activities for kids - playground, pond, bouncy house, basket ball court, etc.

We just returned from a long weekend. It was one of the best camping trips we have had. The staff was so kind and helpful. The pool was a great temperature and the playground and amenities were fun for little ones. The RV sites had great water pressure, and the bath houses were clean. We will definitely be back! Tip: Rent the golf cart. It makes it much easier to get to the other side of the park... We just returned from a long weekend. It was one of the best camping trips we have had.
