Our stay was overall a grade B-. We invested in the quietest generator on the market to run our A/C but we were required to shut it off at 10pm. We knew this going in but if they were to implement a decibel level ceiling for generators, that’d be great. It was around 74 degrees at night with no breeze, we baked in our Airstream. Or, better yet, install some electric if it’s gotta be quiet at night. Bring bug spray, again, we knew this coming in, just passing along the fact that the misquitoes mean business. The showers (cold) are very clean as is the bathroom in general. The parking spaces are also well paved and large enough (wide and long).

Perfect for camping with tent. Short walk over the dunes to the most beautiful beach in the world!

Too many dogs left in camp by their owners, and too many owners not picking up after their dogs.
Someone actually left a bag of door poop on a trail through the dunes between camp and the beach.
We have been enjoying this campground for more than 10 years, and we may not come back.

Everything’s good but you should think to turn some sites electric!

Great area! Would love for a little more enforcement of quiet hours, a lot of generators were running well into the night.

If you aren’t one of the first people to reserve a site right next to the dunes, this is your next best option! Lots of privacy with a tucked away canopy of trees providing much needed shade on a summer day. The sleeping pad location got lots of wind and airflow at night. Bathrooms were a quick walk away and well maintained. Don’t be tempted to be one minute closer to the beach and stay on the inner perimeter of the loop- with zero shade- this is your spot! Great beach location as well!

Enjoyed the facility, very family friendly... would be nice to have warm water for showers but hey, you're at the beach!
Would like to see some electrical hook ups available...
Great Time!
