This is one of my favorite places to stay. Quiet (there weren’t too many kids). Inexpensive ($38 a night with my senior discount). Ambiance (you can hear the ocean waves all the time).

Even though it’s water and 30-Amp power all the time, I really like this place.

Arrival was smooth with a check in at the ranger booth (it’s a state park). I had to book one site for one night and a second site for another night…there weren’t any two or more night stays in late winter when I stayed here.

Couple of tips;
– Bring extra rubber garden hose gaskets for fresh water connection because otherwise, the water will leak enough to flood your pad. I was out of gaskets so I had to cut the thumb off of a clean disposal rubber glove. (This is my last resort, as I have to over-tighten the connection and it’s difficult to remove when it’s time to leave.)

– If you’re an internet connected TV watcher, my Verizon service was good but my hotspot’s service was in-and-out. Luckily, I have a Solis Wi-Fi hotspot that isn’t on the Verizon service, so I constantly had to access my Solice dashboard to change to a better service. Ultimately, I was happy with the signal that I got, but my third and last resort was to set up the Hughesnet as though I were wilderness camping.

– No sewer service, but dump station is only 5 minutes away. Moving campsites the following day allowed me to make a quick run to the dump station. Dump fee is $10.

– Two restaurants grocery store all within a short walk’s distance. Beach is also a short walk’s distance. Your automobile pass (if you’re towing) gets you on the beach with your vehicle.

– Don’t get too close to the water when driving on the beach because the sand is like quicksand. I have a hummer, and while I was on the beach, I saw a Land Rover buried up to the doors with the tide coming in. It’s not unusual for someone to think that their 4-wheel drive vehicle can take that type of sand - but it can’t. Save yourself the towing fees and steer clear of the water.

The spaces are kinda small but I was able to get my 34' SuperC in and my towed 4WD pickup in the spot.

It was pretty full when I came in, but they still had several overnight spaces available when I got in about 11 PM.

Fifty amp hook ups, full sewer, water and of course, the obligatory cable TV hookups.

I'd stay here again if needed...

First of all, the noise was deafening and went into the early morning hours on both nights.
The spaces are so close together that the fires on either side and in front and behind bathed us in smoke no matter what direction the wind was blowing.
The staff at the front was very friendly and helpful.
The online reservation system isn't working, so you'll have to call in. It took me 45 minutes of steady calling to get through.
While the facilities look nice, we didn't really partake. The park was very crowded - so even if we wanted to enjoy the facilities, they were packed.
We were told that the restaurant on site was great, and they'll deliver in the park. We wanted to try them, but ended up not leaving and staying in all day (even on a gorgeous, sunny and warm day).

Starlink: we had completely clear skies with no tree obstructions. Signal was excellent throughout the stay.

Tried to stay while driving through town. Closed from November through April.

After driving in from Texas and staying in several below-average parks, it was nice to find a park that was clean and with a lot of amenities.

The staff was friendly and close to shopping and dining.

As I said, a little expensive, but it’s probably one of the cleanest places I’ve ever stayed. It helps when the staff is friendly and the park is clean.
