“Everyone here is friendly and helpful. My fiance and I camped here for a break away from our children and we felt like family ! Will definitely go back but maybe not with the children as there's no playground or activities for the little ones. Bigger kids would probably enjoy beach combing. Also it was Christmas in July which was fun !”
