Quiet and clean. RVs parked close together. Pay Showers. "Dog park" is small and not fenced so there is no off-leash area. No access by road or trail to the beach even though you can hear the ocean.

This place is great. Lots of RV hookups, a handful of cabins and tent spaces. Even packed full on a weekend, this place is quiet. The staff are super friendly and always eager to help. The bathrooms and showers are well maintained. We come here often because it has been top notch since our first visit. Lots of fun, quiet, perfect for that coastal vacation getaway.

I’ve been coming here for 20 years since I was 13 years old. Awesome place! The new managers here are really good people. They’re givers. They’re always trying to find ways to help. Thank you both Richard and Darcy we love you guys. And thank you Chris for helping us get unstuck.

This is a quiet park, tucked away in the trees near the ocean. The park is very well maintained and everyone who works there is very friendly. Although the park is very close to the beach, there is no beach access from the park, although just a short drive to go to the beach. This is a good place to spend a few days and I would come back.

The park is very well maintained and everyone who works there is very friendly. Although the park is very close to the beach, there is no beach access from the park, although just a short drive to go to the beach. This is a good place to spend a few days and I would come back. I really liked the park but there are a few reasons that I only gave it 4 stars. 1. The website says the price starts at $30 a night, however I paid over that, so I'm not sure where that number came from. 2. The park has an answering service, so to speak with someone actually from the park you have to choose option 3 while calling. I did that to book my spot and the lady was very nice and helpful. She had me pay a portion of my stay as a deposit on the phone and said I can pay the rest when I checked in. When I went into the office to pay my remaining balance I mentioned that I had a Good Sam Discount Card. She said since I didn't mention that when I booked my stay that she couldn't apply the discount now. My bad for not mentioning it, but I didn't know they honored Good Sam until I saw the sign at the door. She offered free firewood instead, which was kind. 3. The park has nice restrooms and showers but didn't mention that their showers are coin operated, and you have to pay to use them. We have a shower in our rig, but really like being able to take showers at RV parks. It's disappointing that we have to pay extra for that amenity Overall this is a nice place that is well cared for with very nice people running it. I liked the peacefulness of the park and would come back if I was in the area.
