We are staying in a county park and it&#8217;s just lovely here. We got, I think, the best site in the park, in a corner with trees and ferns and grasses on the two sides that our big windows are on.<\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;re under half a mile to a beach and sand dunes as well, so we can walk there. No dogs on the beach so we&#8217;re limited to walking around in the parking lot.<\/p>\n<p>THe downsides here are that our wi-fi is really poor and we barely have phone reception. But, it&#8217;s just for 5 days. Another downside is that someone in the area shoots a gun several times at night. We&#8217;ve woken to the sound of gunshots almost every night.
