The campground provides walking access to the dunes, some sites in Loop 1 have beautiful views as well. Unfortunately, we are more last minute planners and could only reserve 1 night.

For those of us who travel and are not sure where we will spend the evening, it would be nice to have a couple of campsites that are first come first served. It would also be nice to have a viable internet connection when one arrives at a Federal site so we can make the reservation once we are there. The campground host said it is a common problem of not being able to connect with the internet depending on the weather. I know that's a risk we take by not scheduling our trip day by day, but some parks or forests are worth spending more time at once you get there and see the beauty of the area. My life was always on a schedule when I worked, but once I retired it is nice to have some flexibility when you travel and decide to spend more time. I know I am old fashioned, but it puts more fun in the trip when there is flexibility.

We loved the campground with its many trees and shade, which was surprising considering how close we were to sand dunes.
Unfortunately the park rangers were a touch over the top, setting on lights for simple reminders for campers, and causing big scenes for situations that could have easily been dealt with with a quick conversation.

Beautiful location! Bathrooms were clean, lit and always had toilet paper and soap. Sites had ample space between them, all campers were respectful and considerate. Easy walk to the dunes!

This campground was very neat, felt brand new. Clean, modern bathrooms with running water. Beautiful views of the dunes from most sites. Easy access to hiking trails. Camp store was not open though, and hours were inaccurate.

The stars are amazing from this campground! We loved the easy access to the parks trails from our campsite.
Bonus - there are flush toilets and cold running water in the super clean bathrooms!
