This beautiful state park campground is across the road from the beach.

So we camped two nights at the State Park, it was great! Easy 3 minute walk to the preserve. The campsite was nice, had power and water hook ups, quick drive to the one dump station. The site has bathrooms and pay to use showers (terrible shower tho haha, idk how to the hot water worked and I froze). The campsite had a lot of dirt and we managed to track in the RV, so maybe bring a rug or dirt trapper. The sites all had fire rings, nice picnic tables and stone bbq's (separate from the fire ring). Like I said the preserve was a very short walk away, they have a couple trails and wood deck walk ways that lead up to the bay and magnificent sunset views. There is a little harbor with boats and a harbor side cafe, with awesome nachos, chicken tenders and MUD PIE (yummm). Super easy 20 minute walk to the wharf. Lots of shops and restaurants. We stopped in for wine tasting and also got a beer at the brewery. Super cute town. I would definitely highly recommend the state park and also camping. Keep in mind we were here in December and it got COLD over night. Make sure you bring warm clothes and that your heater works if you're in a RV. There is a camp host onsite and they sell fire wood.
