About Our Stay
We love this campground and have visited dating back to our tent days. Spots are right on the water (not water access) and just a few miles from some of the nicest beaches in the world. The campground fills up and hard to book, but worth getting a spot if only for a couple of nights. There is a fort on site to explore as well. There are a lot of gnats and noseeums, so be prepared.
