Learn more about alerts →Primitive beach camping is the reason to come: wake up on the sand, watch dolphins in the surf, and catch crabs on the beach at night. Fall weekends after Labor Day are the sweet spot, cooler temps, lighter crowds, and the best shot at a beachfront site.
RV campers expecting any breathing room will be disappointed, developed sites are paved, close-packed, and well removed from the water. Restroom cleanliness is a recurring complaint, and tar balls plus jellyfish are real beach nuisances depending on the season.

Fall delivers the best conditions. October through November brings daytime highs in the mid-60s to mid-80s, lower humidity, and long sunny stretches. Surf and bay fishing pick up as water cools, and fall migration floods the shoreline with shorebirds and waterfowl from September through November. Crowds thin sharply after Labor Day, making it easier to snag a beachfront primitive site. Summer runs hot and humid, with highs in the upper 80s and low 90s. Good for swimming, less comfortable for hiking. Winter sees temps between 50 and 60, fine for walking the beach but too cool for most to swim. Coastal winds blow year-round and can gust hard, especially in spring.
Fall described as best: milder temps, lower humidity, good fishing and sunny stretches.

Stay at one of 48 water and electric campsites or 50 drive-up primitive sites. (The water and electric campsites are 1/3 mile from the beach.) We have portable toilets along two miles of the beach. Full restrooms and showers with hot water are located near the water-electric campground.
