The spacing between camp spots was refreshing. Pit toilet was best smelling, cleanest I had ever used. Want to go back there for extended stay.

Stayed 1 night before a backpacking trip. Nice location, can hear waves from both lower and upper sites. Has a potable water fountain and pit toilets, but no sinks w running water. Con: couldn’t get tent stakes into the gravel tent pad, it’s far too solid. Bring a mallet!

I think your reservation system needs work. I was at Hurricane for four nights, Oct. 10-13, only because a campsite opened up online a few days before I left home. All the others were officially reserved, but on Oct. 10 and 11, only four sites were actually occupied in the lower loop and only two in the upper. Traffic picked up on the weekend, but there were still empty sites. People are apparently gaming your system, reserving sites just in case they decide to come but then not showing. That obviously prevents people who want to camp from enjoying the beauty of the park. Raising your rates would keep even more people away, but there should be some way to encourage actual use of reserved sites. Fines for no-shows? Required excuses? Stern reminders or appeals to conscience? Post-date letters of warning or shaming to no-shows? Another option would be to keep half the sites open on a first-come, first-served basis. Whatever the solution, I encourage you to think creatively of ways to ensure that such a wonderful campground is actually being used.

Clean and quiet, and just a short walk to the beach.

When I arrived, there were a series of human feces piles left astray in the campsite.
