Additional Notes:   This was our first time at a military campground and we were impressed.  The sites were fully paved with picnic tables and fire rings.  The bathrooms and laundry facilities were above par.  They did a great job at maintaining the natural surroundings.  The sunset views over the bay were gorgeous, as were the dolphins.


Caveat:  No wi-fi and we had no cell phone coverage (Sprint).  No pool.  We had 6 over the air tv stations.  Also, if you rent a car, Enterprise will NOT pick you up - it’s too far.  On a good note - right outside the gate is a Dollar General.  Not only does it have the usual things, but also grocery basics, and BEER AND WINE - at a Dollar General.  A little further up is a great Winn Dixie.


Also, while you can make a reservation, you cannot reserve a specific site - they are first come, first served, which I believe is pretty standard for military campgrounds.


All in all, we’d come back in a heartbeat.
