Yes. Direct oceanfront may be better for certain things, and when I take extended vacations, I like those towns too.
But I am a weekend warrior. I can sneak out of work early on Friday, be in OC in a couple of hours, and get in 9 holes and have a good diner. Eighteen holes on Saturday, still have time to enjoy the beach life, get up late, have brunch, take a leisurly drive home on Sunday, and be ready for work on Monday. OBX is over 6 hours, Mytrle is over 8. Not good for quicky weekend trips.
It's all what you're looking for, and what you need. To each his/her their own.

I was just looking at their site. During PEAK season: $114/night direct waterfront. $108/night island oasis. Plus.... If you want a site with your awning facing the water, its an extra $5/night.

The formatting did not work as I wanted but the data is still there.
Note the highest price is $68.00 nothing over $90.00 never less $100.00.
Pirate land offers true ocean beach front camping . Not bat front camping.
Frontiertowne which is in the same geographic location is not as expensive either.
As I said earlier I don't fault Castaway's for charging the rate. I assume they believe the market will accept the prices.
Personally I am familiar with Castaways and they have a decent facility however I now believed they have overpriced the market.
In the end time will tell. I'm sure they know the OC,MD camping market place and their own profit margins better than I do.

In this populated state, you'll always find a couple of fools to pay the price. Then they realize later that they could've stayed elsewhere for half the price.

At that price, it's not even rv park, more like resort prices. Personnally, there's nothing that a CG/RV Park (anywhere)has, that makes it worth that much to me.
