Formerly known as The Water's Edge!!Peaceful, friendly staff, they check on you to see if you are enjoying your time. Everyone we have met there has been friendly and the kids seem to all enjoy it. The dogs as well. Our new favorite place. Ty to the staff. Thought I would add that your camping spots are large compared to ones we seen recently driving by. I didn't realize that, but I am very happy with the extra wide area.

Went down there this past weekend. Homeless everywhere. We ran to the store and came back and half of our stuff was stolen. Like a radio and phone chargers. The guy running it smelled like alcohol but acted like he was high. This place has really went down hill since the last manager left. I would not let my children or any children I care about be down there. The whole place had a bad vibe. We were frequently going and will NEVER return. This place is awful. There are adults living in tents with small children. They have cut down all of the mature trees-I’m assuming for profit and they have cut trees down and left what they couldn’t sell just on the beach. There was broken glass everywhere. It went from being a safe clean environment to absolutely disgusting. There are broke down cars sca

Best camping I've been to in a long time.

We LOVED this place! We parked here for $5 and floated down 5 miles from the double stilted houses along Old Scenic route road. Such a beautiful, quiet, wildlife filled experience! Debborah was extra helpful by letting us borrow life jackets and a paddle and with our vehicle when needed. She's such a sweetheart. I'd come back again. Thank you so much for the great time!

Wonderful experience, campground was clean and owners were very friendly and welcoming. Restrooms had showers with hot water and were clean. Owners were very informative and willing to answer questions when we called and happy to have us and 13 of our friends for a float trip. They also tent kayaks gor $55.00, and will shuttle you up to the drop off point for $15.00 if you have your own kayak.
