GOOD:
+ Flat sites with concrete pad and patio
+ Dog park with a couple trees, benches, water, obstacles, doggie bags & garbage
+ Access and proximity to sound and beach
+ Paved trail for walking or biking going north or south along Hwy 12 right outside campground
+ Well kept bathhouse - better on sound side where it’s newer
+ New/well maintained amenities like mini golf, playground, tennis court
MEH:
Full hookup although water pedestal was way forward and separated from sewer and electric. No idea why it’s different here than at other campgrounds but it makes for lots of obstacles to avoid when backing in. And we had to move our RV forward in order to reach water spigot even with our long hose.
Indoor and outdoor pools and hot tub - nice to have and good size but could use TLC.
Not enough activities esp. considering size of campground and site cost. But water balloon fight for kids was very well organized with lots of balloons, and kids rewarded for picking up balloon litter with ice cream coupon. Win/win!
BAD:
- Sites were way cramped - they really pack you in.
- They tell you to be considerate and not cut through sites but can’t contribute a few feet to offer a path rather than walking a long way around. THEY should be considerate as many other campgrounds provide paths!
- Most expensive campground we’ve ever been to even just for 2 adults. But cable, kids, dogs, extra adults each cost $3 - $8 more per day. It REALLY adds up and was ridiculous. We hooked up to cable and got it for free. We refused to claim extra people and pet. Even the people boomdocking in their van for one night - arriving late and leaving early - in their cheaper sites paid $98.
- Only 4 oceanfront sites on northeast corner, at most, have any chance of seeing the ocean from the site. Between dunes, campground roadway, pavilion and parking between all other oceanfront sites and beach, we’d a been hoppin’ mad if we’d paid an extra $50 nightly for those.
- It’s windy, people are slobs, and they do pick up some litter, but not nearly enough. There was lots of litter on sites, caught up in bushes and grasses, mowed over when they mowed without picking litter first, caught up in sound next to their wooden boardwalk. We asked repeatedly for them to clean up. Staff was friendly but ignored us so...really not so friendly. GM got involved and made it happen, but still plenty more. We picked up some. They need a staff cultural change to constantly pick litter and not mow without picking litter first.
- Tennis court was new and in fabulous condition with lines for pickle ball and youth tennis too. But only open when office was open beginning at 9am. It’s HOT then. We brought our own racquets and went to play early in the morning before seeing sign and locked gate. Ugh!
- No fire pits provided like at KOA two doors south and they tell you that if you bring your own fire pit, it must be off the ground. Sheesh! We brought ours but it was too windy for us or anyone else to do a fire, leave our awnings, canopies, etc. anyway. Bummer!
UGLY:
— Wifi is pretty much zero. We connected a time or two from our site in early morning/dark hours but couldn’t even check email. Only places to get on were at hotspots in clubhouse. Staff says it’s because people are streaming/overloading. Nope, it’s because they need to update and size their system for 400 sites.
