Beautiful campground with nicely spaced campsites! There are showers, no hot water though.

Camped in tent on C7 mid April. Excellent spot, close to showers, restrooms and potable water supply. Shrubbery on both sides kept it private and quiet. Trail behind campsite lead the way to the beach, can't go barefoot because of sand spurs, until you reach the edge of the dunes. Totaling relaxing time.

We love this campground. We get one of the perimeter sites with trees to tent camp. The beach is great as there are few people.

Loved this campground. The location is beautiful, remote and the sites are well spaced. We were there early April. Lucked in to sunny, blue skies, near 80 degrees We were in the D loop in a site backing up to the beach. Slept with windows open in our RV all night to listen to the crashing waves. Pure heaven on earth.

Wish there were hot water showers but not a deal breaker. We were a little early for the seasonal opening of our favorite restaurant though. π₯

A simply magical campsite. Because there is no hook up power it's just quieter. So you can hear the ocean.

Overall, my experience was great. I had a bit of a bathroom emergency and that was how I realized half the bathrooms were closed. That part was NOT cool. I asked a park ranger which was open and was told but I took my bike to alllll the bathrooms afterwards and the only ones I could find open were there D loop ones. When I was told B loop was too. Idk with thst many people why bathrooms would be closed, but I get it. Otherwise, I had a great time and already booked a return trip!
