The park report card
We don’t recycle other sites’ reviews, but the published scores are worth reading together: campers like the price, the location and the manager, while the park’s age, its mostly long-term population, restrooms reserved for tenants, cash-only payment and occasional theft explain the low Google score.

Before you book
Plan your stay
Everything that decides whether Sunset Harbor fits your rig, your dates and your budget, in one place.
Our take: a no-frills, low-cost hookup close to the harbor and town, best for self-contained rigs on a budget. It’s older and mostly long-term, and the 3.3 Google rating reflects that.

- Owners of small dogs under 20 lb.
Consider this

- Reviewers say cash only, and online requests can go unanswered.
- Road and foghorn noise, potholes, and a reported bike theft.
