Reviews
"Site 1 is the only one that can be access near the entrance. 2, 3, 4, and 5 are a hike up very deep in before you get to the camp site. Hard to carry things up. We end up getting a hotel after after stopping by the Park Avenue Beach. It was beautiful to see the sunset by the beach."
"We stayed last August in site number 1. It's beautiful and private and close to the beach. But I have never experienced such ferocious mosquitoes. We just went from the beach straight into our tents at night--it's that or Deet because the organic mosquito repellent wasn't enough to keep them away. A family that had a site further in the woods came running out and said they got a hotel because they couldn't deal with the mosquitoes. But it's a great inexpensive place to stay very close to the beach, so if you take a screened dining tent (we didn't) it would be fine, though you will have to hike it in and up the hill to the site. Maybe some of the sites further in aren't up a steep hill."
"I loved that place with its beautiful sunsets"
"Stayed late May in site #2. A little over a 5-minute walk-in to a very large clearing. Very private, very quiet, except for distant train noise. Site includes picnic table and fire ring, if you want to haul (or roll) in your firewood. Water and flush toilets are available at the end of the beach path. We found a couple of ticks in the site so stay aware. Stopping at the national park info center is suggested to get an overnight parking pass (though not strictly required)."
