I haven't had the food yet. The service is friendly and they've got what you need when you're camping.

Amazing Campground store, figured the prices would be high, but needed body wash and the 24 oz Silkience CRĒMAY was only $3.51. so I looked at other prices, way cheaper than I can get them back home. AMAZING!! Thanks

Real nice owners my family does miss the pizza though. Has a lot of things that you may have forgotten when you go camping so that was nice. The ice cream is really delicious but pretty overpriced.

Stopped at this cafe for a quick snack and coffee after hiking with the kids to the lighthouses. The lady working the store was extremely friendly and and the coffee was excellent. They had a really good selection of trinkets for campers and kids and they had a nice ice cream selection. Love this place.

Best grilled cheese and pesto turkey sandwich! My super picky kid absolutely loved both! We picked up some supplies that we had forgotten at home. I felt the prices weren't bad. It was nice that it was close by!

Super friendly people. All the essential item, one tends to forget, when packing. The coffee is very hot. Perfect for warming up after a day in the surf.

Convenient store at the edge of the park. It has pretty much anything you might have forgotten to bring or want/need to aid your stay at the park.
