Family-friendly campsite, right next to a lake, good access to hiking trails, although a bit far from the beach.

I had a very good time here. The campground sites are private and the entire campground is very quiet at night.

Love the secluded camp spots, wish our tent spot was more level though. Beautiful lakes, trees & wildlife - we look forward to camping at Alder Dune again!

Some campsites are reasonable private. Pretty noisy though with loud talkers and highway traffic noise all night.
Overall a good alternative to a cheap motel but not somewhere to quietly contemplate the natural world.
Sleep here if you must but plan to go elsewhere during the day for activities.
