I was continually harassed by the park ranger. We arrived late at night and were not able to book the site for the night before because of the restrictions on the website. We did book for the next night and slept from 5AM until 10AM when we were awoken by the park ranger yelling from the road. Evidently, our tent was placed beyond the range of the illegible sign that marked the boundary of where the site allowed a tent. Also, the driveway was very small, and we had to park somewhat on the sand. The park ranger wanted us to park correctly and move the tent, which we did and then requested we come to her office. We also did that but she was not there. The next morning, she came back and harassed us some more about the previous day and not being parked one in front of the other. I offered her cash money for the morning when we had driven all night and slept, but she would not take it. I explained to her again that I was unable to pay for that portion of the night, and that I have been to the site three times since July. One of these times, I did not ever check in and was not able to cancel. I also had a very positive experience with all three of the other park rangers. This person was very unpleasant and it made our trip very stressful.

Stayed and camped for 2 nights. The campsites were perfect. We stayed in p50. Covered by trees which was nice because it rained the first night. My friends shared p48 where we were able to go back and forth very efficiently. They had a lot of room, enough for a huge 12 person tent for the two of them and lots of room to grill out with guests. The walk on the dunes during the sunset was amazing. We were very close to the bath houses, 5 minute walk. Overall a great experience. The rangers were all very friendly and felt very safe.

Great beach campground! Short walk to the beach, even shorter if you have a vehicle that you can drive on the beach! The campsite was clean, big enough, and with some privacy as the trees/bushes surround most of the sites. Fantastic camp hosts and NPS staff! They answered all our questions, and were an excellent source of info. Bath and shower houses are super clean! There are mosquitoes and no-see-ums, so bring bug spray!!
