Crescent Beach RV

We stayed in RV spot 13 with friends who stayed in the Sandpiper cabin. The RV spots are VERY close together - but we expected this from looking at the map. Luckily we had great neighbors who were friendly because we looked directly into their site and visa versa. The location and proximity to the beach is awesome.

The RV spots are VERY close together - but we expected this from looking at the map. Luckily we had great neighbors who were friendly because we looked directly into their site and visa versa. The location and proximity to the beach is awesome. The beach was lovely and the creek on the far end was so great for the kids! The goat heads in the field that separates you from the beach are terrible. We got destroyed by them and I saw so many people taking their poor dogs over there. The burn ban had just gone into effect before we got there and we did not bring our propane fire pit (stupidly). They did have 1 to rent for a highway robbery price of $18 per night and you had to use your own propane. Insane. The major issue that we had is that we couldn’t dump any of our tanks when leaving because their sewer system is not built for all the spots they have. It was backing up in other sites and we were told that we had to go dump at the state camp site up the road which is $10. I paid for a full hook up spot and couldn’t even use it. So frustrating. Unfortunately, we won’t be back.

The positives: the hosts are nice and the beach is close. Unfortunately, there were more negatives. Even though the beach access is close, the walk to the beach is impossible without picking up loads of painful goathead thorns. Do not wear sandals or bring dogs! We stayed in a tiny tent site. There were so many mosquitoes at the campground and even at the beach, that we spent our entire days (fr... The positives: the hosts are nice and the beach is close. Unfortunately, there were more negatives. Even though the beach access is close, the walk to the beach is impossible without picking up loads of painful goathead thorns. Do not wear sandals or bring dogs! We stayed in a tiny tent site. There were so many mosquitoes at the campground and even at the beach, that we spent our entire days (from getting up to getting into bed) away from the site and beach. We couldn't hang out in our site at all without being swarmed. There's a big wetlands area behind the campground so they're out of control. I have hundreds of bites on my legs after staying 3 nights, despite wearing pants (hint: they WILL bite through leggings) AND using bug spray. We left early. The mosquitoes were bad at the sites all around the campground, not just ours. We had family staying in the RV area and 10 mosquitoes would fly in each time someone would open the trailer door, just to give you an idea. Aside from mosquitoes, things kept breaking. Yes, there are showers, but you must pay (in quarters only, $1 for 6 minutes) in addition to your base fee, and the machines would eat quarters, leaving you soapy and stranded. Yes, there are flushing toilets and running sinks, but they were clogged half the time, and one time the water was disconnected. Overall, I'd suggest skipping this one.
