Camp Gateway at Sandy Hook offers a beautiful and well-maintained campground with various activities, including hiking, biking, and fishing. Visitors appreciate the helpful rangers, clean facilities, and proximity to the beach and bay. While some noted minor inconveniences like limited parking and a lack of showers, the overall experience is positive, with many eager to return.

Overall I have a good experience there. Specially shaded lean-to style roofing was awesome. At early morning for about 3 hours there was heavy rain. The tent was safe and dry because the tent was under the roofing. A little proble is a shower. There is no shower. Only way of taking a shower is open shower in near-by beach. No hot shower is a little problem for me. But it can be understandable. Another problem is no car allowed in the tent sites. We need to carry all stuffs in carts provided from parking lots to tent sites.
