Park is very big and it's nice being so close to the ocean. Some of the sites are nice and some are not. The wind in this area is most often to an extreme. There are stickers on the ground you have to prepare for if you have animals. The island is full of places to eat and drink. Lots of live music. The Lo Bo Del Mar has bag pipes around 5:30 each day. That is a must see. January weather has been fairly warm but pretty much gloomy.

We arrived on the afternoon of Memorial Day and it was very busy. The rest of the week, it was quiet and the beach wasn’t crowded at all. The sand was okay, the water was rough our entire stay. The beach has nice boardwalks and showers to rinse off. There are two pavilions with tables and concessions. There were even a few charcoal grills available. We had a premium spot with small views of the ocean over the dunes. I’m not sure I would stay without a water view and a concrete pad. There are sandburs everywhere. The check-in process is archaic. I had to fill out several forms to have someone type them into a computer. I would expect that some simple computer code writing could make all of this possible to be done online in advance of our stay. We had to wait about 15 minutes to be seen and we arrived around 3:30 on Monday. Overall the park is very nice and the short walk back and forth to the beach was great!

You can see space x launchpad from the park on a clear day.

Excellent beach and facilities. If you like fishing the huge jetty there is a popular spot. Near the jetty there is good shelling too. During the week days the beach is not terribly crowded. However it is packed on weekends and traffic is a nightmare. Day trippers to this beach will spend up to two hours getting off the island due to the crazy traffic. Go during the week if at all possible or come in early and leave early on weekends.

We arrived at registration 1/2 hr before closing. The entrance hall had a sign that read "take a number and we'll call you." I was the only person in the room and after several minutes I went into the office, I was told by the clerk, he hadn't heard me come in. After almost 30 min. of registration I was given a map of the park and my spot pointed out on the map. I headed to the RV and the clerk closed the building behind me. After that we spent 20 min looking for the road to enter the RV park and then more time trying to locate our spot. What we didn't know then was the map had to be turned on end to read....Then when it's time to check out we were 1 hr late leaving (having issues with tv not working and another camper was trying to fix it). The campground charges $25.75 for each hour your late checking out. We were going to stay an extra day but we were told it would be full price plus the $25.75 penalty. We replied that if we stayed an extra day then technally we weren't late checking out. The kid said it's the parks policy and if we wanted to stay that's fine but he can't wave the penalty, Total price for the night would be $84.95

Tried to cancel reservation due to death on the family, traveling from AZ to Tennessee and spending four days here. Because of a previous one day travel change they would not refund. All other campgrounds refunded or charged a nominal cancellation fee. BEWARE- You have to pay full amount in advance and you can not get it back! Word of warning for unexpected circumstances.

Beach Park has turned to garbage. They obviously are not paying enough to their employees or they would have more of them. They have 1 ride open currently and half the lazy river yet Continue to charge full price blaming a lack of employees. Right before the park opened they came around telling everyone waiting in line in the heat that they only had 1 ride open and half the lazy river and if you wanted a refund it would be 5 to 7 business days. Total bs.

I emailed the corporate office and.wad told there are signs stating as much so we drove around the parking lot and by the gate and there are none. If there were people would not have waited in line in the heat to then turn around and leave. Total garbage management.

First time here. Knew we would be arriving near 7pm closing time so was concerened about access to our reserved spot (this park is gated). Called 6 times, emailed 4 times, left 5 voice messages all throughout the day and evening. No response! We arrived at 6:50. Two ladies at the desk, no customers and no ringing phones yet they did not contact me.

We drove the approximate 600 miles from our home to see the SpaceX rocket launch. We had reserved a spot in the RV park. We got there too late to check in but were told to set up and check in the next morning. After the (scrubbed) launch we went to check in. Now we didn't have an RV. We drove our Tesla and pitched a tent. The lady at check in told us "you can't camp here! you must use an RV or trailer! No modified vehicles allowed!!" huh? since when is a Tesla a modified vehicle? It's designed for camping! there is a camp mode that will put a campfire on the screen with sound effects if you want. it's too cramped for two, but it's there. She then said "you can camp in the tent area" well, the problem is, in this century, everyone has a device that needs charging. Our car needs a plug and so do our devices. We then asked for a refund and we were promptly denied. I assure you we will be disputing the charge with the credit card company. In all my years of tent camping, I have NEVER been told you can't tent camp in an RV spot.
Aside from this, the park and RV camp area is beautiful. It was clean and I wanted to explore. If we hadn't been kicked out, we would have stayed a few more days to hopefully see the launch. Instead, we drove home and are still upset over this.

Although many if not most may consider this primarily an RV Campground Park — there are/were a substantial amount of visitors (like us) that enter the secure gated County Park to enjoy easy access to the beach and/or fishing jetty which includes a large tribute/memorial statue — Jesus Christ of the Fishermen Statue along the southern channel waterway. The County Park designated beach area includes a couple enormous covered pavilions that house concessions, rest rooms & beach gear rentals. We got into the park quickly with a short line at the toll booth but as we exited — you could see the line of vehicles starting to back up quite a bit.

We loved it here! We had a campsite near the beach and could walk to the beach every day. The beach is not super crowded and very clean. Restrooms are all over and clean. Showers are also clean and I’ve never had to wait. There are lots of things to explore like the jetty, boat launch, and monuments throughout the park. You are also just a walk away from some wonderful restaurants just outside the park. You can finish off your day by going on a dolphin watching boat tour for only $15 per person. I c add it say enough good about this place!
