Sunset Beach Resort is a new campground that open July 1st we arrived July 3rd. We got stuck in bay bridge traffic on route 50 for the first 2 hours of our trip, what should have only took 4 hours took us just over 5 but it wasn't a horrible ride just longer then we expected. Sunset beach Resort is just before you get to the Virginia Bay Bridge Tunnel w could see it from the beach. Outside looking in the campground looked very clean everything was obviously new and the lobby smelled of fresh paint. We got our site and when we arrived unfortunately it was already occupied. We told a staff member (Liam) that was walking by and he helped us right away and ran to the office to see what was going on. after several minutes he ran back and told us to go to the site next to it. I looked at him and then to the site because that site was occupied as well... him and my husband went to look at another site that he suggested but we wouldn't have fit so we took the site across the street. It had been raining there for a couple of days and all the sites are just grass so needless to say it was really muddy but we were able to get the camper in the spot no problem. This campground has a big party vibe but everyone we have met has been very nice. We have me, Paul, JP, Kenzie, Elle and we have now have a bunny named Cal Ripkin Perry. this would be my first camping trip in the new Sandpiper, this camper is so much easier to set up for both me and Paul. No more slide locks or leveling because the slides lock on there own and the trailer has a 6 point hydrolic leveling system so it levels with a push of a button and all four slides operate on the same motor so it only has one button. it was set up and ready to go with in 10 minutes and we were inside cooling off with the 2 air conditioning units. I had very high hopes for this campground being new and all but I knew going into that there would be some kinks that they would have to get out. All of signs were temporary and a lot of them were just very poorly placed to the point where some were already knocked over from being ran over and same with all the trees they planted most were right in the middle of the sites impeding on people awnings. Another thing that people were complaining about was they had a couple of things advertised that just didn't exist like the spa and an indoor dog park and the adult pool they advertised was connected to the kid pool. In order to get to the beach area you had to walk through the outdoor part of the bar where it was loud and at time unrulier. We made friends with some very friendly seasonal people a Mrs Linda and her husband who was apparently was an avid rabbit hunter to the extent that his licence plate said rabbit. It rained a couple of times but we really did make the best of it and went to the beach in the rain unfortunately because it rained the entire weekend before we got there everything was a muddy mess and because they didn't have any concrete pads due to environmental laws there was no getting away from it.
The first night we stayed was Saturday night and this campground was a big party spot because most everyone was fall down drunk and screaming and cursing and driving their golf carts around all night. we even had someone outside our room at 330 am having a screaming match. I really don't think we'll ever go back to this campground and if you do it wont be on a weekend at one point it rained in the morning a little and they canceled the kids activities for the entire day so the kids had nothing to do. It's pretty sad when even your kids said they didn't want to go back to that campground.
