Reviews
"The staff member that checked is in and showed us the map was very nice."
"Great Staff. The gift shop next door is up on stilts so need to climb steps (they're not steep though). Do have an elevator but you need to call to have it unlocked."
"Just spent 10 days camping here. The site was nice and roomy. Bathrooms were clean. There was no fire pit not that we would have used it. The mosquitoes were the worst I had ever seen. I am not really sensitive to them but there were a lot. The bathroom had no screens at the vents so they were all over the bathroom as well. There was a swampy area behind our site and the bathroom that might have contributed. Not sure if the whole campground is that way. The beach was nice just past the fort. Little poky shells when your first get in the water then it was just sand. We saw quite a few dolphins around the park. The beach further up was a much longer walk with no board walk. When we were there it had a lot of water to walk through and sand spurs. Do yourself a favor and order a SunPass before you go. There are two toll booths to get to the campground. They charge extra for trailers. The second booth only took quarters if paying cash. There was a person in the first one but they didn't have much change. The SunPass gets a discount and then you don't have to stop every time you go somewhere."
"Ok, so the people who volunteer here or work here are super nice so this is not a knock on them as people but the rule of the 1PM on-the-dot check in....it didn't seem reasonable with a lot of people waiting in line. There's gotta be a better way or system! We had a lovely time, I just thought I'd make a suggestion."
"Campground check in starts at 1PM sharp! The counter personnel were prompt, courteous and friendly. I enjoy camping at this park where restrooms are clean and views are excellent."
