The Allure of Driftwood Family Campground

Life at Driftwood is simple. We are not a large luxury RV resort, and we do not aspire to be. Our focus is on providing basic amenities to ensure your stay is safe and comfortable; while helping you create experiences your family will cherish forever.

Whether it's seeing the moon or stars through a telescope for the first time, collecting fireflies in a mason jar, making S'mores over an open campfire, catching your first fish right off a dock or kayaking to Hog Island for a Robinson Crusoe-style adventure, these special moments are all within reach at Driftwood.
