Drive-on beach camping defines the experience at Edwin King Atwood Park, where RVs and trailers of any size can access the sand directly from the road. The $14 daily fee covers beach driving privileges, though soft sand conditions require careful navigation to avoid getting stuck.
Campers share the beach with day-use visitors who bring party atmospheres and music, while fishing and swimming activities overlap in the same areas. Basic facilities include showers and restrooms located at a pavilion near the main parking area. For those preferring separation from vehicle traffic, a designated tent-only zone blocks off driving access, accessible by walking from the parking lot.
