THE SUPERSITE

Campland on the Bay boasts a very special campsite that is completely private! The Supersite is a fully enclosed campsite with many features and the best view of the bay. One of the primary features of the Supersite is the privacy it affords the occupants. The six foot fence and lockable entry makes for a relaxing stay. With it's own gas grill, lawn furniture, and drought resistant landscaping, the Supersite was designed with both guests and environment in mind.

The site steps into the realm of luxury with its other private features; a whirlpool spa, a full size washer and dryer, and a phone line. Both left and right hook-ups are available in order to accommodate any recreational vehicle. The guests are then left uninterrupted to enjoy their vacation. With its many features, the Supersite rivals the Honeymoon Suites of many luxury hotels and is targeted to travelers who think that "roughing it" is not a prerequisite to fun camping.
