Learn more about alerts →Families and yurt-campers do best here, especially in fall when crowds thin and storm-watching peaks. Yurts near the trees get the most seclusion, and loops with direct beach paths mean no long hauls with gear. Disc golf, paved bike trails, and playgrounds round out rainy-day opt
Open layouts mean your neighbors are always visible, and summer turns the RV sections into a parking lot with campfires. A handful of reviewers felt the atmosphere wasn't as welcoming as expected, so if a friendly, communal vibe matters to your group, that's worth factoring in.

Fall offers the best combination of mild temperatures (daytime highs typically in the mid-50s to low-60s, nights in the low 40s) and low crowds, making beachcombing, hiking, and storm-watching especially rewarding. October and September bring dramatic surf, clear stretches between systems, and excellent wildlife viewing as shorebirds and marine mammals are active without the summer crowds. Winter delivers heavy rain and powerful storms. Spring brings moderate conditions. Summer sees the heaviest traffic and longest reservation waits.
