WHAT ARE THE CAMP SITES LIKE AT SEAWALL CAMPGROUND?

Seawall Campground has evolved over the years, and started out as a first come first served campground that took no reservations.  Some years ago that all changed and they switched over to a by reservation only campground.  Each camp site comes with a fire ring and a picnic table.  Rangers discourage the use of rope tied between trees for a clothesline, but it is permitted.   Water faucets are spaced throughout the campground.  The campground maintains a large pile of free split firewood, as available.  Restrooms with flush toilets and sinks are spaced so that one is always within an easy walk to any tent site.  Some claim that the Black flies and mosquitoes are worse at Seawall than at Blackwoods campground, I have stayed at both a number of times and can tell you they are no more worse at either campground.  Both campgrounds are about a fifteen minute walk to the ocean, with Seawall Campground having the Seawall Picnic Area directly across the street with picnic sites over looking the ocean.
Some simply rules the Park Service is pretty strict with - no parking on grass at your tent site, no burning or smoldering fires when no one is around to watch over them,  no food left out at night, and no breaking branches off of living trees.  Campsites are pretty sheltered from one another and well spaced out.
