Learn more about alerts →Families who want a real beach day without leaving the campground. Egret Loop has the shaded, spacious sites with the most privacy. The 5-mile trail system, osprey marsh, and kids' movie nights keep everyone busy when you're not swimming or fishing for striped bass.
Campers who aren't part of the local cultural mainstream have reported unwelcoming encounters here, so consider that before booking. Also: no hookups, no pets, tent sites can flood in hard rain, and restroom closures happen often enough that they've become a recurring complaint.

Summer delivers the most reliable conditions. Highs typically reach the mid-70s to mid-80s°F, with lows in the 55–65°F range. Sea breezes keep the heat comfortable for beach days and evening campfires. Swimming, fishing, and water sports hit their peak during these months. Wildlife viewing improves as the marshes fill with activity. Expect crowds on weekends and holidays. Spring and fall offer cooler temperatures for hiking, though water activities drop off. Winter access continues for those who want frost-kissed mornings and quiet trails.
Best season: reliable warm temps, beach, lifeguards and peak campsite use noted by reviews.
