Third year in a row at the same campsite and no complaints other than the usual biting bugs after dark. Excellent campground all around! Only wish the dumpster truck emptying the dumpsters would wait two hours after 6:30 a.m.! Loud bangs aren't pleasant that early in the morning.

This appears to be a very nice location. We arrived after dark so just parked in a common lot area for the night.

I was greeted by the park rangers staying in the Silver Bullet camper! It was dusk upon my arrival and they both helped me set up my tent! What amazing people! It was beautiful clear skies and the stars, planets, and moons could be seen. The waves crashing just beyond the dunes at night was like listening to God telling me a bedtime story. The early morning, ground water temperature, showers were invigorating! I felt so close to what heaven must be like. The mosquitoes were mosquitoes but it didn’t detract from the beauty of this marvelous campground. The bathrooms were clean and convenient. I do plan to return next year!

Staff was friendly and very helpful. (Note, cold showers only! described by the park staff as "character building". We passed on those and found a local gym that offered a day pass.) The campground was clean and quiet with easy access to those beautiful beaches. We enjoyed our stay
