Been coming here now 23 years but several changes especially pricing has us upset! $175/night. That’s double what it was in 2014 and staying in Red when we used to always stay in Yellow. The wifi connection has always been bad here. Limit of 2 dogs, my daughter used to come with us with her two dogs and pay the fee which used to be $5 per dog per night. Now it’s $10 per dog per night. She now can’t come with us as that would be 3 dogs at our site. We were coming here 23 years and now need to find somewhere else to go to with this restriction - other campgrounds I go to do not charge this dog fee or limit to 2. People camp so their pets could travel with them. Gazebo on dune used to be open for drinks snacks and ice cream. Would be nice to see it open again. Other campgrounds we go to have concrete pads and we pay $70-$100 at those campgrounds. Not ?175!! Paid less at Key West! I remember when the owners increased the number of people at a site from 2 to 4 people to help make the camping here more affordable for families and I thought that was the nicest thing from him to do that. Unfortunately the past few years have brought major inflation to the cost of a campsite as well as pet fees raised from $5 to now $10 per dog - I won’t be able to have my daughter and her husband join us now. Why are things changing not for the better here? So upset

Location is outstanding. I gave a lower rating for two reasons. 1. Internet is shockingly bad. My wife and I need internet for work purposes when we go away. This put undue stress on us. The camp-sight is on the expensive side and should, in my opinion, provide a better internet experience - even if they charge an extra premium. 2. When we checked in they charged us for two dogs, even though we had no dogs. We called them about it and were told that we were not charged for the dogs. I double checked, and we were. It then took two trips to the front desk to get a refund. If you make a mistake just apologize, fix it and move on. Don’t inconvenience your customers. I left with a feeling that you are greedy.

Five stars for location but there are some detractors. First, signage to the resort is horrible. Our GPS took us right to the entrance but it was not evident until we searched around because the sing is nowhere near the entrance. Big rigs can’t just pull a u-turn! Then the signage inside the park as to the directions of the roads is non existent. If you want a one-way circle around the perimeter make it clear. Our site was level enough, wish it was paved. The dirty sand would be a nightmare in the rain. On the plus side, all staff were very friendly and very helpful. Bath houses were top notch. Can’t say enough about the beautiful beach steps from our site. The cost is in line with the spectacular location. I just hope the corporate ownership doesn’t drive away the great staff.

We had a great stay and will definitely be back! It was great to be able to see ocean from our campsite! Very convenient to stores and other things to do as well.
