Unexpectedly great experience. Clean, quiet with great access to the dunes. We'll be back. BTW the Camp hosts were wonderful.

We would have liked to see showers at the bare minimum, preferably power, water, septic options. No showers. No pump out. There was no tag for our vehicle to indicate that we were registered guests who were supposed to be there. Several times we saw vehicles drive through that seemed to be scoping out people’s sites while they were out enjoying the dunes. We would choose a different spot next time. The hike on the Dunes was beautiful but most days we could not see the water…. Just more dunes. Ok as a base to explore the area-but not our favourite for sure.

Everyone was kind, clean and respectful. I felt very safe and the facilities were well taken care of. I would stay at that campground again. Running water is available and so is garbage disposal. It was a very lovely campground and my campground host was really nice, and I felt really lucky because not all hosts are. I hope to go back.

Eel Creek is great. Super close access to hikes on the dunes, like John Dellenbeck trail. It is clean, the hosts were good, and it was quiet even though it was close to Highway 101. The site we camped at, Site 2, seems like the best tent site in the campground. It is very private and has a little trail behind it that is great for kids to explore. Would go back, and reserve site anytime.

Hosts were available, bathrooms were attended to daily. Campground was clean. It would have been great to have soap in the bathrooms.

Got to our destination a day early, and Eel Creek was a great 1 night layover for us! Pull-thru site was level, and campground was quiet! Will come back again for a non UTV/quad trip!
