Our stay at this campground was really awesome. It is very quiet, very private sites. The only issue was that bathrooms were not cleaned during our 4 day stay.

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.
