Sunset Campground — Hotel in Bayview

Unless you are 18-21 and plan on partying all night, I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THIS CAMPGROUND. Policies around multiple guests per site and quiet time are not enforced.

On our recent trip to the island we stayed at Sunset campground. On the third night we had a group of boys/young adults check in a few sites down. They partied all night. We managed to sleep through most of it only to be awaken at 5am by a couple of them breaking into our zipped screen tent to steal our alcohol. Security was called (alcohol/cooler retrieved) and they were kicked out/banned. Security and the manager handled it well after the fact but it shouldn't have happened in the first place! There were 10 young adults (some underage), 7 vehicles and only 2 tents on two sites. Management and security should haven known this was a recipe for disaster. They apparently stole from several sites that night.

We have never had anything like this happen before. Nothing was left out. It was all tucked away from view. They entered our site, 5 feet from where we slept in a tent, unzipped the screen tent and stole from us. It was a very disturbing experience.

We were refunded for the stay at check out. (Apparently management made the group of kids pay $60 each to cover our stay and forcing the manager out of bed at 5am) this was just more drama than we were looking for on our little...

Just got back from the weekend from hell.

3 kids, Two parents and 48 hours of douche bag parties.

How do you expect to pull in families to this camp ground when you have drunk frat kids and loaded red necks SCREAMING and drinking until 4:30AM TWO NIGHTS IN A ROW??????

I was blown away at the level of disrespect from other campers. I have heard of people going a bit over the 11PM shut down but 4:30AM???? after several people asked them to shut it down. followed by many more screaming from their sites. All they were given was mockery in return by the drunks.

Non of my children slept. The day after, we expected it to be quiet since the mosh pit of rednecks were passed out until 8PM. Nope, sorry. The frat kids kicked in at the prime time of 11am with their screaming version of flip cup, their beyond loud playlist from the all rap 90s and the bright idea to walk all the dirt roads loaded and screaming things none of my kids should hear until they are at least 15. This went on until they left the grounds to go to the bars. it was a very peaceful 2 hours....until they all came stumbling back in.

I am completely disgusted with this location. I will not return and will only speak horror of this "family friendly" location. I would have stopped for a refund if I wasn't so desperate to forget I...

AVOID

We stayed here for 2 nights on the back end of our maritime road trip. Had we known the reputation of this place we would have gone elsewhere. Unfortunately we had to learn from experience.

The campground itself is quite nice and wooded, although it is hard to find a site that isn't on a considerable slope for tenting.

Washrooms are a bit gross. While the staff regularly comes by to clean them, all they really seem to do is empty the trash and sweep the floor. Some of the showers don't work.

On balance the campground location itself is fairly decent. Despite proximity to the disgusting tourist trap that is Cavendish Boardwalk, it's secluded and forested enough to be quite nice.

The office staff were helpful and pleasant.

Unfortunately, whatever potential this campground has as a family-friendly site is totally ruined by the combination of people who have zero respect for others, coupled with completely ineffective noise regulation enforcement by the staff.

At the end of the day, if the sound of horrid metal music (plus drunken vocal accompaniment) and obscenely loud (and obviously fake) orgasms at 3:30 AM are not something you consider a part of a good camping experience, do yourself a favour and...
