A day of on-property play

Settle into your site — whether you’re camping in a Deluxe Cabin, rolling up in your RV, or pitching a tent — and get ready to enjoy all the family-friendly amenities the resort has to offer.

Morning
Wake up to salty coastal air and start your day with a stroll around camp. The kids will love jumping on the giant bounce pillow or climbing on the playground. Bring your pup along for a morning run at the KampK9® dog park.

Afternoon
Cool off in the indoor pool and hot tub, or enjoy the seasonal outdoor pool in the summer months. Challenge the family to a round of Pirate’s Cove Mini Golf or get competitive with a life-sized chess match or a basketball game.

Evening
Pick up firewood and s’mores supplies at the on-site Kampstore, then settle in for dinner at your site. On select evenings, enjoy activities in the S’mores Activity Building — think tie-dye, movie nights, and friendly games of bingo.
