I added some lodging info that someone requested on the OB forum:

We stayed at a nearby condo rented by our friends.via VRBO or AirBnB. Could be a reasonable deal if you are staying a week or more. There are some recommendations from SFFB here: https://www.beachesfoundation.org/haulover.html#Lodging
We have not stayed at these places so I can't comment on them, except for Oleta River SP which has a dozen small cabins, sort of like camping. But that's your cheapest, closest bet if you can handle the lack of services. A couple of sleeping bags and a big cooler and you're all set :-) Have heard that the Newport is decent but expensive.

There are lots of motels out near I-95 if you don't mind driving a bit. We have other friends staying in an RV out at C.B. Smith park and they like it. Nasty drive at times though.
