Beverly Beach Camptown RV Resort

We first stayed at Camptown in the summer of 2014. We were not sure we would like the park, and it was a little pricy. They told us the price had gone up due to recent upgrades. We booked for a month, in July. We loved it. Our site was perfect and everything was great. The staff was friendly and very helpful. We liked it so much we immediately booked for another month at the same time for 2015. Prior to our arrival the following July in 2015 we contacted Camptown to make sure all was well, We then headed south for the five hundred mile trip. When we arrived we were told the price had gone up an additional $500.00. We were stunned. We had driven all this way and were told the price was much more. What else could we do on short notice, so we stayed and paid the new rate. Again, everything was great including the staff and our site. When we checked out we were told that due to new policy changes, we could no longer stay in their premium site unless we paid the full daily rate with no discount for a monthly stay. However, we were advised that we could stay in a standard site and receive the discounted monthly rate. We were also told we could no longer book a year in advance, however we could fill out a form and be put on a list. We would be notified six months prior to our reservation of the 2016 rate and if our site was available. We asked at that time if anyone else had requested the site we wanted and were told no. Well, six months prior to our reservation past and we heard nothing. Four months prior to our reservation, still no word. I called Camptown, I was told that the site we requested was booked but they had additional premium sites available for a higher rate, due to "upgrades in the park". Our requested site was given to someone else over us and we would be forced to pay a higher rate, which we could not afford. Not a way to treat someone who had already stayed at the campground twice for a month at a time. If you do stay at Camptown, you will enjoy your stay, however, beware and get any pricing quotes in writing. It appears the owner is more concerned with his "bottom line" than he is with customer service.

A little pricey but an awesome place if you want to stay on the beach. This is a beautiful beach, not crowded at all and unlike most beaches, you can have a campfire and dogs are allowed. Facilities are not new but are very clean, staff was very nice and the store is well stocked. We will go back every chance we get!
