"I loved our stay! The campsite was plenty large for our trailer, campground was very quiet and clean. The beach was so clean and opened. There was a breeze every time we went down to the water. Our favorite place hands down was sitting by the channel watching the boats pass through. We will be be back for a longer stay."

"I took my child here to watch the sunset. Which was absolutely amazing. We parked by one of the free "grab a bag" stations for "dog waste". Unfortunately, some visitors decided they needed to leave their trash in that exact spot. Typically the park is immaculate and very well kept. It is so unfortunate that some people feel the need to trash such beautiful places that we have access to like this. So many people enjoy visiting our local beaches and to see trash all over, is absolutely disappointing. Not only for visitors but for the wildlife as well. I give the park 5 stars as this is such a beautiful and amazing place to go. But we need to do better as humans and the community, at keeping our beaches and dunes clean and free of trash like this. Other than stuff like this trash, caused by uncaring people, this park is a great place to visit! I have lived here my whole life and couldn't count the number of times I have been down here. I will continue to visit as long as I am able. We highly recommend this spot for your all of your beach therapy needs and to view an amazing sunset!"
