Come and go whenever and doesn’t require meeting with anyone, just go to the campsite and camp. Beach is a bit of a walk through the dunes but close enough to walk to whenever you want

Clean. Calm. At the beach. Nice ranger. Even wifi open

Nice location. The sites aren't very private but price and location outweigh that consideration. The showers will soak you and the water temp was fairly consistent and warm. I wouldn't recommend counting on the showers in cooler weather as they are basically in a shed. But during the summer, that's not an issue. The staff was very helpful and even came around to check on everyone's sites when a storm was about to roll through. I would come back here without a second thought.

Clean restrooms, nice showers, beautiful night skys and close access to the beach if you're driving. The only problem is the traffic noise from the highway.

Dogs are allowed on the beaches as long as they are on a leash. They do not allow open fires or wood burning fires, only charcoal in self contained grills/pits.
