The marina across the street is noisy all night. The beach is a short walk but small and has a very of several oil platforms.
Bathrooms were super clean.
Many snowbirds, few pads so most sites are on grass. Kinda a run down look to the entire park.

The park was easy to find. It is located just past the Ferry Terminal. There is pavement all the way including the interior roads. Signage is adequate. Check in was efficient and friendly. The rules are fairly basic.
Our site, 02, was a dirt/grass based back in that was easily long enough for our Coach and Towed. Services (30/50 amp, water and sewer only) were to the left side. Distancing is good for a destination park. Each site has a table and NO fire pit. Our site was flat and even. Overall the park was neat and tidy. This is a very dog friendly park but we did not find a single spot of doggy do that hadn’t been picked up. That being said there are many feral cats living in the park thus, lots of cat poop about. The cats provide snake and rodent deterrents.
There is NO park included wifi or cable TV. Sadly, our Verizon signal was mostly 2 bars so no streaming from our Hot Spot. Wifi is apparently available in the Pavilion but we never tried it. We did find plenty OTA channels. Satellite might be difficult. We did not use the washrooms or showers but we checked and found them clean and modern as were the laundry facilities.
There is a short trail from the park that leads to the beautiful dog friendly beach. Where the trail gets sandy a board walk has been installed so access is handicap friendly.
There are no restaurants or stores within easy walking distance but just a short drive away you can find food, shopping and convenience stores. We found this park to be a good place to stop and hang our hat for a while. There are no permanents here but many seasonals that are very friendly and out going. There are some park planned activities but we opted to not join.
So many positives but two big negatives. No Wifi with poor Verizon and the dirt/grass base that gets a bit muddy when it rains.
We paid $27.32 on a monthly rate (even though we did not stay a full month) and we feel we received very good value. We will be back if in the area again.

We stayed here the last week of February, 2021. The park is quiet and mostly long term campers. It is close to the beach and has great access without having to cross a street. The bath house was clean and hot water supplied by on demand water heaters.
The spot we had was not equipped with a sewer hookup, only water and electric. Dump station was close by so using my tote was easy.
The negative aspects about this park is the sound of the ferry horn first thing in the morning and most of all the most negative thing about the park is the amount of stray cats roaming around and on vehicles , tables , or wherever they want at night. Waking up to sandy cat tracks on my brand new truck was not cool at all. I will be bringing some type of repellent next year. Overall, a nice place to stay with very friendly staff.

This place could be so much more, especially given the location and the price. Sites are very crowded. Lots of road noise in the red site section from the road. The Ferry starts running at 5am and you can hear the PA system announcements. The vibration of the ferry can be felt. 2 of the 5 washers were broken. Dog park is behind the trash bins and there is plenty of poo everywhere, even though there are signs that say pick it up. People were nice enough. We didn’t use the showers. Verizon service is only 2 bars and very slow. I wouldn’t want to come here for a vacation. There is a Beach about a mile away, hardly anyone was there.
