I have never been to a campground where the rangers/staff were so incredibly rude. The lady we talked to at the front while checking in was very rude then we felt like we were being watched the entire time we were there. The rangers harassed us the second it hit 10pm while we were sitting around the campfire talking. They want you inside and completely silent. The rangers fully abused their authority. Our Adults all were 30 to 40 years old and we had children ranging from 1 to 5 who were all in bed at this time. The rangers treated us like criminals shining their flash lights in our faces and making us sit on a bench. All they had to do was let us know they thought we were too loud and we would have gone inside. Instead they yelled at us and told us they would be asking us to leave in the morning forfeiting what we had payed for the rest of the weekend. I will never go back here and don't recommend this place to anyone.

Stayed for 2 nights and had a very nice stay. Campsites are close together, but as long as you have respectful people around your stay will be great. We had a very nice stay because their were a lot of young kids all around us who played well with our kids. The location is a nice walk to the beach. Our 3 and 5 year old had no problems with the walk. Found tons of sand dollars and shells on the beach. We had a site with electric and water for our travel trailer. Everything worked great and check in & check out went smooth. The local ranger put on a kids show on Friday night and was entertaining. Will definitely go back again.

This campground is wonderful for a place to get away. I have been going to this campground every year with my family since I was a small child. The RV and tent camping is completely separated by trees and a lagoon. The noisy generators don't bother the tent campers and the smoky fires don't bother the RV campers. There are nature trails and easy shopping and beach access. Even large grocery stores to get more supplies in nearby Grover City. Everything is here for whatever kind of camping you love to do.

We were unable to even GET a campsite. The North Beach Campground is First Come First Served, and what a mess. I was told by the Oceano Campground via telephone that we had to go to the campsite, find an empty spot, set up our tent and pay. I asked Specifically if we could put out a reserved sign and pay for it. No, you have to set up camp.
We went there at noon Sunday to get the site, and everyone was putting up boxes and paper plates to reserve the space, no one was putting up any of their camping items, just a chair or a box. We went to the ranger station to let them know, and the Aide was rude as anyone I have ever encountered.
My question becomes this. Do you have to get there at 10 a.m. and ask who's leaving, and then hang around their campsite all morning like a vulture in order to get a campsite? in which case, when is it cleaned? I was told that check out was at noon, and check in at 2:00, I can't imagine putting even camping gear down before it's cleaned up from the previous campers. ish.
So, I don't believe we'll be camping until the spots are reservation only; or until we figure out the system... which seems to change from day to day. I don't believe it's so difficult to go play in the dirt for a few days. Sigh.
