Showers are clean and hot, not the best pressure but any shower feels amazing when camping. We stayed here for 5 days and the host was amazing and very helpful. Definitely coming back here. Your phone gets terrible service but the views and dunes make it worth it

Good things - Nice black-top parking lot for camping. Clean and pretty level. Beach and dune access great.
Not so good things - When we checked in with the camp host, she advised us that someone was taking ice chests, gas cans, generators and other things. So when we left to go on rides, to town and at night; we locked everything up and did not leave anything in the locked gas cans. The first night my son-in-law's generator was stolen from beside his trailer. He had it cabled and locked to his trailer. The thieves were still able to take it. His trailer was not more than 50 feet from our trailer. It is very unnerving to know there are people walking around the campground, even your own campsite, looking for things to take.
Because we were not allowed to fill our trailer with water at the campground, we had to haul our potable water from home (Oroville, CA 421 miles away).
There are flush toilets and showers but also a few problems. The men's bathroom by the camp host had only one operating toilet and the other bathroom only had one. Not enough for all the men campers.
Showers-At first there were only 2 showers for the whole campground neither had very good water pressure. You could almost count the water droplets, and you had to stand almost touching the wall to get the water to cover you. During the second week of camping, more showers opened up but the pressure was still very low. Campers from the sand camps were allowed to shower and use the bathroom facilities. There was one sand camp set up at the entrance to the flats that had approximately 50 campers (maybe more). When they came in to shower and use the bathroom facilities, there were lines 3 and 4 people deep for the showers and no access to the bathrooms. The campers at Driftwood (camping on the blacktop) learned that they needed to show and use the bathrooms before 8am and 8pm, because they would be used by the sand campers until 10am and 10pm.

Everyone in the campground was having their things stolen every night, and it ruined our vacation. They keep allowing this to happen night after night year after year.

Bathrooms were gross. Never moped the floors while we were there. Kids riding bikes around camp with no helmet’s all day long. This place used to be very clean. Not anymore!

The people that camped in the dunes had a huge wedding partying all hours of the night. They came in and destroyed the bathrooms. This has nothing to do with the campground or camp host but there should be some sort of rules when camping in the dunes and using the facilities. The campground was clean the host did the best they could to keeping the bathrooms and showers clean.

Really upsetting when you look forward to a trip for months for it to be ruined by the outrageous theft. So bad EVERY night. Had to pack up entire camp each night because chains and steel cables were being cut through like they were paper. Nothing was safe. Gas invehicles, gas cans, generators…etc. Even being chased off by personal protection didn’t stop the thief’s. Really disappointing because we love the campground and location.

The spots are VERY tight! If we do go back we will know to book 2 sites per family. The showers weren't very clean there was a lot of hair by the drain and the water pressure was horrible. Also theft is a big issue. The camp host told us when we checked in to make sure to lock up our stuff (which we always do) but people had been cutting cables and taking generators for the last 13 days.

Our family has been camping/quad riding at Driftwood II for many years. Upon arriving this year, we were told that there had been theft in the campground and we should take precautions. We did - everything was either taken in each night or cabled. Our 2nd night there, our $5000 generator was stolen. The thieves were much more organized than we were led to believe. they used cable cutters at 2:35 am to steal our generator and another one. Although the "hosts" were aware of on-going thefts, we never saw any law enforcement during our stay. When we reported the theft to county, they just sent us an on-line report to fill our. Very disappointing. Also - Although there are 10 showers, only one was open for use. It had very little water pressure and was tempid. Very little care is being provided to the campground.
