Clean campsites and clean bathrooms. The north end of the dunes are easy to walk to. If you Google maps, you can find a site with plenty of shade.

This was a great campsite but we couldn’t leave five starts because the site was so insanely unlevel that even with three sets of leveling blocks we couldn’t get our short camper anywhere close to level- it was 8” off from front to back. Plus the camp store wasn’t open during the posted hours, not a problem for us but could be a big deal if someone is counting on that for supplies and it is a bummer not to be able to purchase firewood. The park itself was phenomenal and greatly surpassed expectations.

Incredible! Some of the best stars I've ever seen, clean, pretty campground with good facilities and close access to park attractions, and we met a very cool guy with a telescope who let us look at celestial bodies!

Would not recommend this site for tents – hard to find a flat spot, no dedicated tent pad, and also very little shade. Sites also felt fairly close together. The pros are: the restrooms at this campground are very clean and have running water, and hiking trails start directly in the campground. Loved the park, just would probably grab a different campsite next time.

It was a bad experience. When I got to my reserved camp site there was still someone there. No people just the equipment so the park rangers took it apart for me to occupy it, off course It was three hours after the set time. I decided it to skip it and avoid having to deal with an angry camper later that day/ night and explain what happened to their camping gear. Bad resolution by the people in charge when I could see other camp sites available nearby.
