We spent the best 6 days here, in July of 2021, we got up every morning and went to the pier to watch some amazing sunrises. The owner was super sweet, allowed us extra time in the laundry. Super quiet, great service. If your in for a party every night; this is not the place for you, the KOA is up the road if you wish for a resort feel. Excellent place to stay!

Sands of Time is a quiet little campground. It's for beach people. There's no pool or playground. What I like the most about it is that almost everyone is a regular. Some people keep their camper there year round. Others reserve the same site every year for the same period of time. Everyone is nice and helpful. I had to leave early this year because of back problems. People helped me pack up, took... Sands of Time is a quiet little campground. It's for beach people. There's no pool or playground.

Everyone is nice and helpful. I had to leave early this year because of back problems. People helped me pack up, took my trash to the dumpster and ordered to pick up food and groceries for me. There is no place I'd rather be

We have stayed here a week using this location as our home base for the south end of the Islands. It has been very convenient! The staff are friendly and helpful. The sites are shady, grass mowed and hookups in great condition. The bathhouse is VERY clean and the laundry is reasonable and the machines all work! We will stay here again!
