Public or private?

Restricted access

Who can visit: Registered campground guests, under the operator admission and stay terms.

Entry route, fees & access boundaries

Manager / access authority: The private campground operator controls guest entry and property rules; no public beach easement is inferred.
Access basis: The cited source identifies this named shore and its access arrangement.
Where to enter: Campground guest access requires operator registration/admission; no unrestricted day-use entitlement is established. Private guest shore. Unrestricted access to this guest beach from Nanticoke Wharf Road has not been established; use the operator’s check-in route.
Fees & reservations: A campground reservation/guest admission is required under operator policy; no current standalone public beach pass or exact day charge is verified.
Restrictions & exceptions: Follow the managing authority's posted rules and remain on the documented arrival; do not infer a continuous shoreline easement.
What this label covers: Registered-guest beach access only; no public-road crossing or day-use admission is established.

Beach ownership, the route across land, public shoreline-use rights and access to facilities are separate questions. Rules vary by state and location. Use the identified public entrance or documented permission; neither a nearby resort nor an admission fee by itself establishes that a beach is private. A mapped beach is not permission to cross private property.

Allowed & prohibited activities

Fires and grills: Use the assigned campsite fire ring and operator fire rules; a campsite ring does not authorize a fire on the beach.

Overnight camping: Camping requires a reservation/registration under the operator's campsite rules. The beach is part of a controlled guest property rather than an unbooked overnight public site.

Shore fishing: Fishing/crabbing is an identified use; obey current Maryland species, season, gear, licensing and posted site rules. No launch or swimming permission follows from a fishing reference.
