Sandbeach Campground - Sand Lake Recreation Area

Usually is always clean, campground and bathrooms, but las time, bathrooms were really dirty, like if they haven’t been clean in a long time, also, there was at least 6 beer cans and some garbage in the fire pit when we arrived couple hours after our check in time!

If you’re into riding ATV, off road vehicles or dirt bikes, then this is the place to be.
This could be a good place to stay…but there are drawbacks.
Many sites are left dirty, in the 3 days we were there, the 2 bathrooms we used had never been cleaned.
While a ranger does drive around, they don’t appear to do anything other than that. And that includes enforcing any of the rules. Just a few examples, only 2 vehicles per site, but there were several sites that had up to 6 vehicles and multiple tents, if a site was empty but reserved , people would just pull in, set up and use it a day use site. The campground speed limit is just a suggestion. ATVs/off road vehicles went through occupied campsites constantly. There is a supposed curfew between midnight and 6am for running off road, but people apparently miss that sign.

Campground was very clean & kept in great shape. Restrooms needed some work however.

We had so much fun!! Camping sites are very spacious. Nice fire pit. Large cement picnic table, though we didn’t use it. Plenty enough room for our 29’ Motorhome and space enough for our trailer with side by side. There are bathrooms but again we didn’t need them. Would definitely return though would try to get closer to the beach access. There were a wide mix of Motorhome, trailers and tent campers. Kid friendly at least during the week. We were there Sunday-Wednesday.
We’ll definitely be back.

My family and I had an amazing time! Great place to camp :)

Campsite was huge. Very spacious. Clean. Close to the restroom and right across from the water. Fully shaded all day. With some sun. We stayed august 25-29th 2023. Close to day use beach. Seen a few deer on our stay. Hosts were amazing. We had a campfire each night in there elevated fire rings. Overall great camping spot.

Cons:

Had a group of 40 people blasting music and loud screaming 3 night in a row from 10pm- to 4 am.

This is a launch pad for those with motorize vehicles to play in the sand. If you're looking for peace and quiet, select another campground. I understood this and came just to get the experience of camping close to the ocean with my new tent.

That said, the bathrooms were very dirty, smelly, no toilet paper and unkept. The drinking fountains needed maintenance. Considering that the campground is so popular, it makes no sense to abuse the people who pay to be there.

In short, poorly managed.

This is an ATV hellscape. People zoom through the campground at all hours of the night. I'm sure if that's your jam it's a fun spot, but if you were looking for a peaceful campsite, look elsewhere. Nice to have bathrooms with running water.

It would be such a fantastic campground if we had water and electric hookups! Please make it happen!

Lovely beach, goes for miles with absolutely no one around. You have to walk around a dune to get there but once you do, its wonderful.

Sites could be cleaner. Lots of cigarette butts and bottle tops around. Other reviews of the atv noise are 100% accurate. They are respectful of the quiet times of the campgrounds though and don't seem to get rolling until mid morning. However between 530 and 830pm it sounds like you're at a monster truck show. I would stay here again though just for the beach.
