Overall the trip was good. The areas for camp sites are large. It was wonderful to have bathrooms and showers. Only two negatives for the area. First, the mosquitos are AWFUL. Yup, nothing you can do about that. We camp often and this was brutal. We had 2 thermos brand mosquito shields running at all times, sprayed Eucalyptus, wore Deep Woods off and had a fire going. It was hard to be outside. Second, the area they call a "kids discover zone" was pretty lame. They talked it up and there was nothing to it. Other than that, it was fun. Would go again despite.

NPS does everything right. During the first night we were in a beautiful walk-in campsite...More walk-ins! The second night in a car site...these sites have a lot of space between them, so you feel like you are in the woods! They seem to have separated the tents from the vehicle campers--which is great. I don't really want to be next to a camper with a generator or TV making noise. Owls at both campsites! I have camped at Dunewood many times. I always love it. Also the whole park seems to be flourishing as never before (I have been coming since it became a National Lakeshore in the 80s?) This must be good management. Thank you NPS for safeguarding this wonderful place.

Very good location to explore the Mt. Baldy area with a bicycle. Some of the trails would be better with a mountain bike but doable with a road bike with 32mm tires or larger. Otherwise the roads are bike friendly and a pleasure to ride. Take a short car ride to the West end of the dunes and be presented with better trails and great road rides. Although a mountain bike would be better for most trails in the National Park confines.

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.
