Campground bathroom and shower facilities are nice and kept clean. Campsites are large and nicely spaced.

There are areas of stagnant water standing in the campground and a huge mosquito population as a result. Mosquitoes are expected, this was out of control.

The train goes by at least hourly and repeatedly sounds its horn at the intersection each time. Between this and the road noise the campground is "unsleepable." I left rather than stay a second night.

The sites are large, the bathhouses are clean, and the National Park is amazing. There are wildflowers and birds. The only issue is 100 trains per day that pass nearby.

Many lot depths are not noted on the listings, resulting in filtering with a lot depth showing no spots available making it difficult to know that there are tons of decently-deep lots for back in and many pull thrus. Super nice and clean with well-spaced lots. The bathrooms and showers were the nicest we have seen and even have an outside utility sink behind and a bench and outlet in front. Only downsides were a bit of road noise and trains every so often and not knowing upon arriving if any spots are available. We stayed in the Douglas loop.

Good place but difficult to park our 25 ft trailer. Everything else was very good. It was nice to be so close to the dunes!

We went in early April, so the campground was fairly empty. It was a rainy day. The campground is clean. There is a nearby gas station and store where you can get food, snacks, firewood, beer, there is also a restaurant near the entrance Of the campground. The bathrooms were warm and clean. The showers were decent. Good pressure. They are lit up all night long. Otherwise there are no lights in the Campground. Hours, there are no electrical outlets. You are between an interstate highway and a fairly busy train track that blows its whistle frequently. Keep that in mind. This is not the serene wilderness, quiet solitude.

Cancellation policy

  • Reservation fees are non-refundable. For campsites, cabins, lookouts, yurts, group sites, and similar stays, we charge a reservation service fee of $8.
  • 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.
    • One-night reservations: a late cancellation usually forfeits the full amount paid, up to the total original reservation cost.
  • 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. Extending or shortening a stay that still includes original dates usually has no change fee, though refunds may depend on timing and facility rules. Switching to the same type of campsite for the same dates usually has no change fee, but price differences are charged or refunded.
  • Early departures may or may not be refunded. At certain facilities, partial refunds may be possible if staff can mark the site available for other visitors. No refund is given for a night if the early departure is requested after that day's check-out time.
