The campsite was large and right on the river. No water hookups so bring it in and fill your fresh water tank in your RV. The playground for the kids is great. You can drive on the beach with your vehicle. Very relaxing, did some fishing from our campsite.
One of the most beautiful places I've ever stayed. Facilities were clean, the water is just incredible on both sides. We stayed in our camper on number 44 and it was a great spot but there's not really any bad spots. There are no see em bugs and stickers in the grassy areas so wear shoes around campground area and bring bug spray. I can't wait to go back though. We did some fishing and got reds, catfish, whiting, lots of bait and crabs and lots of other people were gigging for flounder at night.
This was such an amazing beach!
A most see park, my suggestion if to be there really early, because the line to enter can get ridiculously long real quick. We got to the park around 9 am on a Sunday morning. There were only two cars in line.
We were able to secure a really good spot on the beach for our two cars, our tent, and our grill.
In this beach park you can go to the main huge beach, or go to the more mellow beach to the side, and also you can set up your camp site if you reserved the spot.
We had a really great time, the weather was perfect, the water was a bit on the cold site, but that was to be expected. Not summer yet!
They have a couple of portable bathrooms within 2 minutes walk from the entrance to the beach. The beach and places around are well taken cared of.
You have to pay to get in, and if you are a Military Veteran, then you only pay have the price. Entrance is not very expensive (I can not remember exactly how was it was.)
Also, the have food carts that come by and park by the cars for the day, so you can buy different foods here.
Beautiful beach!
Overview: Great place to spend a day. Fishing, camping, or just lying on the beach. Clean with lots of room to spread out. The summers here can get a bit crazy, but that is with all the parks in this area.
What to know: You can tent camp and RV camp. You can fish, but I'm not sure about how pets work. There is a sign in front that says no pets. I would call and check. An excellent area located in between the beach and river to swim. Also, a small but very cool nature center to visit when open. A butterfly garden and a playground. There are full bathrooms with showers too.
Loved being able to drive and park on the beach. The beach length to the water varies along the park/beach. The water is clean and so calm. There were very few shells, BUT we found a shark's tooth. Our first ever! It was tiny and a treasure. This place is great for new experiences, exploring, wading in the water, fishing, and camping.
