It was a lovely campsite! It was packed when we got there and some of the site were flooded since we went end of March. The people with atvs spent most their day at the dunes so it was pretty quiet. The spots were nice and large!
There’s no service but you’re camping, your phone should be off anyways!

Showed up to find our camp spot was flooded as were several other spots. Luckily my friend had a spot and hers wasn’t flooded so we stayed in her spot. But when I spoke to the Ranger he said that they were calling people the day of reservations to let us know that they were flooded and nobody let me know at all I never got a phone call. I had to track down the Ranger in order to talk to him about getting a refund. He was very helpful but the first camp hosts weren’t helpful they didn’t know anything about it or what to do I had to find the other camp host over in the day use area in order to help me. I guess the main problem is is that we showed up two hours from home to our camp spot that was flooded. Nobody notified us to where we could have made other arrangements or plans. Imagine if you had driven five or six hours to Get there and camp to find your camp spot flooded. Your trip would be ruined with no back up for somewhere else to stay. Anyway other than the camp spot being flooded it wasn’t a bad place to camp the campgrounds nice and big.

Policies & Rules
Cancellation policy
- Reservation fees are non-refundable. For campsites, cabins, lookouts, yurts, group sites, and similar stays, we charge a reservation service fee of $8.
- 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. Extending or shortening a stay that still includes original dates usually has no change fee, though refunds may depend on timing and facility rules. Switching to the same type of campsite for the same dates usually has no change fee, but price differences are charged or refunded.
- Early departures may or may not be refunded. At certain facilities, partial refunds may be possible if staff can mark the site available for other visitors. No refund is given for a night if the early departure is requested after that day's check-out time.
