Everything about the property was well described. Very clean and had all of the essentials that was needed. If you are unfamiliar with this particular campground, it is worth mentioning that the parking is very tight. Had we driven our full size truck we likely would not have fit on our site. Beach Bums restaurant is at the property and has really good food. Beach was a 5 minute walk away from our site.
We booked the Sand Castle as a last minute get away and we loved it. The location was great for walking to the beach, grabbing a bite afterwards at Beach Bums or just hanging around the camper. The king bed was comfortable and the camper had more space than we imagined! The main gathering area was homey and decorated tastefully with a well stocked kitchen! With a fenced in front porch and grassy area, our dog was grateful to have the outdoor space when he needed it. We would not hesitate to book the Sand Castle again. Thank you for hosting us! Tracy and Adam
Wonderful stay at Roger’s Bay! If you need a step back in time, stay at this campground! Very nostalgic for my family as me and my husband grew up staying in campgrounds. Such a fun area! It was my 4 year olds first time in a camper and she wants to stay here every year now! Walk right across the street to the beach, the camper has been updated and very nice for a family of 3! Great little deck area and fenced in grassy area for your furry friends. Beach Bums restaurant is super convenient and very yummy! The pool was very refreshing after a nice long day at the beach. Bathhouses are very clean! We will definitely stay here again. The host was also very quick in getting back to me when I had questions. You will not be disappointed if you stay here!
