See you next summer! My husband grew up coming to Campland as a kid and after my first visit this July 2022, we cannot wait to come back every summer with our kids! I loved that it really promotes kids just being kids and enjoying swimming, biking, activities, and the weekend live band dance parties. For us, the parents, we really loved meeting new people at camp and on the beach, the Cantina cocktails, and overall the family environment. Everyone we met was so nice and inviting and you just don’t see that much anymore. AMENITIES: staff was friendly and helpful, bathrooms were clean and had hot water, campsites could use a little extra cob web control but nothing crazy, and the entertainment was great!
