Site 19 is conveniently located by toilets & water, but is downwind from pit toilets...
The campground was relatively quiet at night, not too rowdy.
Access to Lake Elgin & the dunes was great!

Be aware- First come spaces seem to be saved by the camp host for people who have paid him under the table to reserve them spots. We were there for almost 2 weeks. About 1/2 of the first come spaces were being held by empty trailers, ladders, lawn chairs for other people. We had a spot that was empty when we got there but were told by the host that we needed to vacate the spot on Friday as he had it saved for someone else. I believe first come, with a 14-day maximum should mean that we would have been able to stay. Many people drove into the campground looking for a spot, but since they were all being saved, they had to find another campground. I have left 3 messages with BLM to call regarding this, however I have not received any call backs. The campground is clean, a very nice place when you can get a spot. Vaulted toilets are the cleanest I have ever seen in a campground. The camp store (Joe) is a great place to get many parts, Ice cream and of course t-shirts and sweatshirts.

The park is alright, but the management of the park needs consideration. There really is no first come first serve with the current campground host. Even though this reservation platform keeps things up-to-date, when you arrive some of the sites may be personally reserved and you will have no place to stay.
