Before you book
Plan your stay
What we could confirm, and what to ask before you book.
Our take: a characterful, shady waterfront campground with sunsets over the sound and a beach of its own, at moderate prices (RVers report about $89–$95 a night). It’s rustic rather than resort-like, Wi-Fi is spotty, and the website doesn’t publish rates or rules, so ask questions before you commit.
