No running water and bathrooms didn’t work. We had a reservation for three nights and ended up leaving the second night. Pretty much was told there isn’t a refund policy. Besides that, campground was okay. Underwhelming, not a lot going on at the campground. People speeding by, you can see your neighbors, no privacy. Wouldn’t recommend and won’t return.

Bathrooms were not functioning well upon arrival, host was informed by several people and yet did not report to USFS until Saturday morning (per the ranger that was trying to figure out the problem). Water was shut off, and all bathrooms were closed. Buck toilets were not brought in until Sunday morning so we had to leave the campground for 2 days to use facilities and purchase water. I would like a refund for the 3 sites, but can't figure out how to request one on your website.

On arrival, I stopped to show my camping reservation to the host. She did not tell me that the bathrooms were closed. The nearest restroom was 4 miles away. Also, a nearby campsite started a loud generator near dusk, which at least drown out the distant dune buggy noise. The dunes themselves are still fabulous, and the dune buggies are not allowed in the area near the campground. Last time I camped there it was October and not crowded, a much better experience.
ps, I was told that they were bringing in port-a-potties until the restrooms could be repaired.
