Considerations
While many rave about the serene camping environment and convenient amenities, it's important to note that privacy between sites may be limited due to lack of underbrush, although this also means fewer bugs. Reports of swampy conditions at certain sites suggest checking weather and site details in advance. Some beach areas may be rocky, so preparing accordingly can enhance your experience.
