It was a great spot to camp for a few days! I’m a very shaded area, campsites were far apart from each other, bathrooms were clean and stocked. The campsite itself was wonderful. Had a fire pit and a picnic table. There was plenty of room for a very large tent and chairs around the fire pit. The hosts were super helpful and nice! They let me know where to park to head to the beach (there’s a few beaches within driving/biking distance or NPS designated parking) and were helpful with recommendations on things to do in the area.
I had great cell service and everything in the area (food, gas, ice, etc) was easy to find without navigation.
Just be prepared for sand in/on everything :) I’m still finding it

My entire family adores camping at Dunewood campground. The sites are so well tended, and they are nicely spaced around quiet loops. The bathroom facilities are clean and well lit, and the campsite hosts are friendly and helpful!

An amazing campground in a convenient location! The sites a spaced apart well so you never feel on top of one another and the sites themselves are huge. We were able to fit our large living tent and a dining tent without it feeling crowded. The camp hosts are nice and checked in with us as soon as we arrived. We were close to the restroom facilities which were large, clean, and included flush toilets and showers. They don’t sell firewood or ice on-site but there are a few convenience store located at the entrance of the park where you can buy some. Being in the woods and so close to the lake expect a lot of bugs in the summer time. Overall a great experience!

Some of the conditions at the sites could use a little upkeep. Posts missing reflectors are hard to see while backing in.

  • Standard cancellations usually have a $10 cancellation fee. Customers can generally cancel before the check-in date online.
  • Late cancellation rules differ by stay type.
    • Individual campsites: cancelling after 12:00am local time the day before arrival usually means a $10 cancellation fee plus forfeiting the first night's fee.
    • Cabins, lookouts, and yurts: cancelling less than 14 days before arrival usually means a $10 cancellation fee plus forfeiting the first night's fee.

  • Modifications are allowed before the cut-off window, but fees depend on the change. Changing to dates completely outside the original reservation dates may trigger a $10 change fee.
