This is the perfect campground for someone who wants to enjoy the views of the dunes! Bathrooms were clean and the sites were spacious. Only recommendation would be for there to be rules in place about adjacent sites to mind their headlights at night. We had several ‘blinding’ moments.

I picked up a last minute cancellation and got a good site that I was very happy with.

Loved the campground and the campsite. Lots of trees and there was a dry creek next to our site. But we gave it a four because of the red ants that took over most of the site. Not sure why they were there, but they weren't leaving. Seems fair. They were there first. That left us a small area by the campfire ring, so no camp fires. And the ants didn't bother us, so we were all good. Oh, the bathrooms are right across the lane, super convenient. There's also a parking slot to pull into. Easy drive to the Sand Dunes parking lot if it's too hot to take the trail, also located right by the restroom.

The layout of the campground is great. Not a lot of room for big rigs, so very huge generators if any. Lots of shade opportunities no matter what aspect. Caution, there’s wind every evening off the mountains. But it blew the mosquitoes away. But sometimes also too strong to have a campfire. The reservation system left something to be desired however. We had two campsites but only really needed one once we got there. I tried to release the one I had. But, no one could help me at the visitor center because it’s booked through Recreation.gov. There was no Wi-Fi so I couldn’t , get on the Internet to change the reservation. The camp Ground Host couldn’t help either.
It worked out in the end, since we found someone who could actually use the Extra campsite. Another issue with the reservation system I think is that there were lots of empty campsites that were marked reserved. Not sure how to solve that, but even a slight increase in the fee or perhaps of forfeiture after a certain time like nine or 10 o’clock at night. All in all a fun visit.
