What stood out? Amazing beaches. There are seven of them, which are not crowded at all. The island itself is amazing, being a cross between the sandy dunes, the rocky bluffs, and the wooded forest. Truelly excellent!!!
Owners and Staff: Very proffesional. They are always on top of things, keeping all of the beaches and the facilities clean.
Camp landscaping and surroundings: Private island, having rocky bluffs, sandy dunes, and a densly wooded forest. The best part is you can camp in all three of these environments. There are hiking trails, seven white sand beaches, fishing, biking and boating.
