The camp hosts and the rangers were very nice and helpful, we tried to buy firewood prior to getting to our camp site and the camp hosts were able to locate some for us so we could have a fire for my grand kids first camping trip.

Campground is great as usual and the camp hosts are always fantastic, the dunes however are more and more lawless every time we ride. There's a reason it has the nickname "Skid Row Of The Dunes", and it lives up to it. There's literally zero law enforcement presence any moreand a lot of the riders are taking advantage of that. If you come here to ride keep your situational awareness elevated and be safe!

Pros:
The campsite was huge. Bathrooms were clean and close to campsite. Water is close as well. Day use beach 3 min walk from site. Plenty of shade. It was a nice family trip riding at the dunes for 3 days. I love the campground and will defiantly return yearly.
Cons:
No cell service
There is no hand soap at restrooms , so make sure to bring some.
Campsite number 33 no privacy
We had a huge group of people across from us who reserved 6 campsites and were loud and singing karaoke until 3 am in the morning, screaming, and drunk.

- Standard cancellations usually have a $10 cancellation fee. Customers can generally cancel before the check-in date online.
- Late cancellation rules differ by stay type.
- Individual campsites: cancelling after 12:00am local time the day before arrival usually means a $10 cancellation fee plus forfeiting the first night's fee.
- Cabins, lookouts, and yurts: cancelling less than 14 days before arrival usually means a $10 cancellation fee plus forfeiting the first night's fee.
- One-night reservations: a late cancellation usually forfeits the full amount paid, up to the total original reservation cost.
- Modifications are allowed before the cut-off window, but fees depend on the change. Changing to dates completely outside the original reservation dates may trigger a $10 change fee.

Switching to the same type of campsite for the same dates usually has no change fee, but price differences are charged or refunded.
