Review Detail

We stayed here 3 nights and have one major warning for anyone using GPS to get to the campground. In a word, DON'T. Use the directions listed on this site or in the book. We were coming from the east and GPS took us all over the place. We'd have been much better off taking Exit 7 (Blue Angel Parkway, although it isn't listed as such on the signs) which takes you right to the gate you want. Also,unless you get very lucky, you can forget about getting a satellite signal. There is cable TV available, but if you are used to using a DVR to record programs, you'll really miss your dish. Right now the beach is closed due to the oil spill--you can see small tar balls in the water. (Our rating does NOT reflect this as it's beyond the park's control, obviously.) Power was weak, even though the park was only about half full. This is a nice park, but it's 18 miles from the Interstate, so maybe not the best for an overnight. However, the camp host was pleasant as was the MWR staff. However, there is no information provided about the area, not even a base map, which would have been nice. We didn't use the Exchange or Commissary, so can't comment. Luckily we didn't need to use the laundry because it could have been a real hassle.
