Robert,

As Syd said, you need to bring the anchors, too.

As I recall, that's soft ground so you can use the cable anchors with the
corkscrew "flat" plate rather than the spiral "doggie tie-down" type of
anchors that are needed in rocky ground.

The anchors are essential.  The time I flew down, the thunderstorm that came
by rolled up two or three planes into a ball.  I was hoping really intensely
that no planes in my neighborhood came loose and rolled over me inside my
tent.

Also, be sure to anchor your tent really well.  It was only my weight, lying
on the upwind side, that kept my tent from blowing away.  As it was, the
rain cover (the outer layer) blew up enough that lots of rain came in and I
pulled my camera out of about 5" of water (it survived).  

I shivered through the rest of the night sitting/sleeping inside my Coupe.
Now THERE'S a comfy place to sleep! <dripping with sarcasm>

If you're prepared, it should be a pleasant stay.

P.S.  There are really strong stainless steel or titanium corkscrew anchors
available that actually work and don't break off like the doggie anchors you
buy in the box store.
