it was nice to not to have to race to get there and wonder if a site was going to be available

I like the way that the area is being monitored at all times

This was an awful experience. The restrooms are disgusting and we couldn’t leave camp without other vehicles parking in our reserved spots. I couldn’t find a camp host or ranger to help we get people out of my spot so unfortunately I didn’t get to use my whole reserved spot. I would like a refund

My spot was great and neighbors were good I love sand lake and my kids love it too. I just wish with all the money people spend on visiting sand lake and pacific city they would fix the roads so it’s not so bumpy with our Toy hauler and truck. Thank you.

Spot numbers were changed after the reservation was made so I did not get the location I originally reserved.

The area is beautiful except for the unfortunate amount of trash that seems to be overlooked by visitors and the hosts. We cleaned more than a bag of trash from our campsite before setting up, and could have easily cleaned more from other sites. It was both wonderful to be there and heartbreaking at the same time. If you are in to ATV’s the weekends are for you but if you’d like a little more quiet time pick mid week.

This was my second time to the dunes. We enjoyed our time. The only downside to the dunes is the lack of a dumpsite. You have restrooms and pit toilets there should be no reason why you don’t have a dumpsite.

Somebody needs to enforce the quiet time, generators running all night in the camp ground is not cool. If one can do it we all should be able to. Other than that it was good

Campground is nice and spots are large only issue was the blaring music until 4am on the sand behind our site luckily forest service got the large group to move so we could get a peaceful nights sleep the next night
