KATY DISTEL

Jetty Park is always fun to camp at, however I do not recommend the Inlet camping. My mistake, I thought I would try something different, but there is no electricity out here! I guess I saw the $40 per night price tag and assumed that there would be, but there is not. Also, generators are allowed to power the big rigs that camp out here, and they run - All. Day. Long. Luckily campground rules state that they have to go off at 10:00 p.m., although last night in the wee hours of the morn some jerk turned his on twice and woke me out of a sound sleep. Also, all the "day people" line the shore in their cars in front of the campground and play loud music, predominantly hispanic. The day people also run through your campsite non-stop. I much prefer being in the campground proper (only registered campers are allowed into this secured area), and although the sites are close together people are much more courteous, and you don't have any of the day tripper nonsense. I still recommend it, it's super fun to watch the cruise ships go by, and to be here if there is a launch. Great breeze and the beach is pristine. One more note, last year when I was camping inside the real campground, I had some food in my camper and a squirrel broke in, gnawing his way through a couple places of the screen of my pop-up. So just be careful if you leave food in your trailer!
