My wife and I stopped at "the Dunes" on our way through from Gettysburg, PA area to Mason City Iowa. We're working on seeing all the National Parks over the next however many years.
Dunewood was great... helpful staff, clean and well-kept sites with clean bath & shower facilities. Saw some excellent highlights of what the park has to offer.
If we get the oppotunity again, we'll stop in again to see more of what we missed.

Easy check in with the helpful Ranger on duty even though it was a Sunday evening. The campsites were clean and although I was one of the few Tenters there, the sand platform was comfortable and easy to navigate. Bathrooms were clean and water stations were clear. Great campsite!

5 stars!
Best national park campground I’ve stayed in. Plenty of space between campsites, quiet, and cleanest toilets anywhere we’ve camped. Plus: Free warm water showers! Perfect for after the beach and dune climbing. Bugs not bad in mid September but could be more formidable in this forested site.

Policies & Rules

Arrival & departure

Check out time

12PM

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.
  • Security deposits are separate. Security deposits may be refunded to the original payment method if the facility is left in acceptable condition, as determined by the property.
