Camp host is as good as they get. Great dunes right out the back door. One of our favorite regular trips every year.

1) the camp host and his wife did an excellent job in terms of interfacing with us as well as just day-to-day while we were there for two weeks with questions and answers.
2) my one concern regarding the reservation system that I’ve now noted for the last three years that I have attended Egin Lakes, is that often the website shows that RV spots are reserved yet after 2-3 days they remain empty. I’ve noted this by comparing the site occupancy with what the website says. And there are too many sites that fall into this category, so it’s not as if the person reserving contacted and said they were gonna be late by some amount of time. On our last trip, we ended up having an extra trailer/family with us that we had to tightly fit into one of our sites. We talked to the camp host about a site that was right next to us and he said that he had contacted or tried to contact the reservation person. The person with that reservation did not contact the BLM to notify them in the 24 hour period that they were delayed. The camp host shared that me consulted the local BLM Manager and it was decided to grant some exception for the person to arrive on Friday, when their reservation was to begin on Monday. It turns out on top of granting this grace period, that person ended up showing up on Saturday, not Friday
My only request is that when you look at the published rules that the BLM has set down for reservations I’m asking the BLM to either follow them or don’t follow them. By granting these kind of exceptions it starts to get back to the same way that Egin Lake campground ran under a previous camp host named Sand Crab. The whole purpose of the reservation system was to get away from these exceptions and the buddy system to allow special circumstances. I would like the local BLM management to take all of this in spirit and just decide whether they’re going to make the rules black-and-white per the published guidelines or not.

Campground is easy to stay in, everything is kept clean, the sand is amazing to ride, and playing down at Egin Lake with my dogs makes for a great way to cool off. The campground hosts are on top of their jobs.
