We had incredible experiences at the park last week. Beautiful, clean, well-kept beaches. We saw lots of horses. It seemed like it was going to be overcrowded because of waiting for 30 minutes in traffic but didn't feel that way at all when we made it to the beach.
*Would have liked more lunch options the day we went to that side of the beach.
Overall, just awesome. Highly recommend.

What a wonderful place to visit and camp at! The water was cool in July but it felt fantastic with the hot, sunny days. The camp sites are big, too! We had 4 tents and plenty of room left over for games and such. The sunrises and sunsets were gorgeous and typically when the horses come out. Good to make sure that your food is locked away at those times especially. I’ll also add it was totally fine to camp in the middle of the summer, because of the nice breeze that lasts throughout the day and night.

Stayed at the campgrounds for the first time, during 8-1 through 8-4 . What a neat and exciting experience to see and have the horses come into our campsite. If you haven't camped there yet, it's highly recommended. My boyfriend and I will definitely be back! Just a fore warning, the campsites get booked pretty quickly. Most reservations are booked up to a year in advance. My boyfriend was lucky enough to reserve 3 nights for us, although our first night we could only have for 1 night and then the next day we had to move to another site for the other 2 nights. But the important thing was we got the reservations just 2 days before leaving, What luck!. It was great to see so many riding their bikes, walking along the bike path for exercise, and, of course, the children playing.
