Frontiertown and Fort Whaley are sister campgrounds owned by same corporation. Frontiertown is waterfront. Fort Whaley is more inland. Frontiertown has a water park that is free to campers, pool, marina, crabbing and fishing piers, and now zip line course. This campground is probally more of a "kid-friendly" campground. Lots of activities and golf carts. Kind of a noisy/people(kids) everywhere type of campground.
Castaways is also a waterfront campground. Tends to be a little more quiet. There is a beach area, pools, crabbing and fishing piers, and marina too.
We used to always go to Frontiertown when our kids were younger, now we go to Castaways. We really prefer Castaways. The sites are a little nicer. We love the beach area with the beach front bar and daily live music. FYI- Castaways has become really popular-can be hard to get sites. If you are thinking of going this summer-better call quickly. Most sites are probally already booked.
**Have never stayed at Fort Whaley-most people only go there because Frontiertown is full. You can use all the facilities at Frontiertown if you stay at Fort Whaley.
How do the sites compare between Fort Whaley and Frontier Town? Is one nicer than the other?
Thanks,
Ryan
