Just a quick 2-day romp, live within 2 hours of campground, first time boon docking in our new 27ft Jayco grey hawk. I am always so surprised by the wooded areas of the dunes when we visit. Pros: The site we had (P32) accommodated our size RV with no issue. The site is not on top of another camper, short walk to bathrooms/showers. Quiet and I’m sure if no any overcast, would have been great for stargazing. Grill available. Bathrooms clean, didn’t use showers. Cons: the site is essentially cliff side, more so on the right so backing in (initially) did not give us any room on the exit side door of the RV, so we pulled in head first. This let us exit to our picnic table area. Arrived by 9pm and had some logistic issues with getting set up with auto level/slides so we ended up using our on-board quiet generator to supply power appropriately till 1030, we were scolded by the host the next morning and told rudely we “better figure something else out,” I said we were having electrical issues and couldn’t avoid it but didn’t plan on having the issue again since we were set up. The dude was a dick. We weren’t trying to be rude, emergent issues arise with bad weather. Lots of sand spurs and ground cactus, we didn’t bring our dogs because we knew this already to be an issue. They refuse to close the ladies bathroom door, which offers little privacy except for the stall door. Beach:The beach/boardwalk is about a 10-15 minute walk, so if you don’t have a beach pass to drive and have lots to carry-this could be a con, not for us. Not as rough as it is around the point closer to lighthouse, easier to cast out. Sandbar less than 20 yards off beach that day. It wasn’t buggy at this point, but I imagine it is the hotter it gets. There are some more desirable sites, but no electric/water available at any. I’d happily return regardless. And make sure not to use our generator not a minute past 2200.

Nice campground. Decent walk to the beach through wetland and dunes. Bring bug spray. Enjoy cold invigorating showers. Campground is in good location.

We like the Frisco campground area very much overall. However, there are two issues which are problem not only here but in many other parks. The first is dog barking ! Amazing how inconsiderate campers can be not controlling their dogs in a location where folks are looking for some peace and tranquility. The park needs to be more pro-active in clamping down on dog barking.
The second issue has to do withy the loop P road. Since virtually all vehicles must use this road to exit, there is alot of traffic at times. But the real problem is that a lot of people are driving too fast! The speed limit is 15mph and we had cars going by out site well over 30! Very annoying and dangerous ! It pains me to say this because I generally do not like the use of speed bumps, but I believe they should be placed at several points around the 'P' loop.
Hope this helps, Thanks

Campground with plenty of space between sites, some more secluded than others. Shrubs and low trees offer some shade and breaks from the wind. Beautiful beaches but bike riding very difficult if not impossible, even with large tires. Road biking okay with some shoulders either 5 miles south to ferry or 7 miles North to Buxton.
