For fourteen-nights at a 50 amp full hookup pull-thru site, we paid about $36 per night. There were no fees for pets or an extra vehicle. The park has AAA, Good Sam, and Veteran discounts, as well as weekly/monthly/seasonal rates.

The campground is nicely landscaped with many flower beds, flowering shrubs, coastal cyprus, pines, and ornamental trees. Charmingly whimsical touches are tucked into the landscaping, including a cute teakettle collection hung along ivy-trailing fences.

The campground is pet friendly, with cleanup stations but no enclosed pet run. The campground is large enough for a fair walk with your pet.
