Otherwise this is a great campsite- our first campsite was quite trashy- we were able to switch campsites surprisingly easily by calling recreation.gov and we really enjoyed this site. Many of the sites are well secluded and the bathrooms were clean although missing soap. Great location next to the John Dellenback Trail which we highly recommend! Amazing experience hiking the sand dunes and coastal woods/ brush and getting time on the isolated piece of beach.

We love camping at Eel Creek. Our last visit had a vehicle in our spot. After waiting and looking for the person we left to return our trailer to its storage (1/2) hr.) before closing. The camp host was off duty each time we checked. We could not gain access to our reservation. The 1st two times, the men's bathroom was out of order and we had to drive to the restroom. Have tried to contact both by phone and online and problems everywhere.

Our group was looking for some beach camping and running out of luck finding open sites. Most campsites in the dunes area are geared toward those visiting to do off road recreational vehicle activities and those campsites tend to be loud. We had two toddlers under 3, so that didn't sound very appealing. This campground is an excellent compromise. There were some people there for off roading, but most of the people there seemed to just be there to camp. Our campsite was clean and down below the road, so at night it was protected from the wind (site 4). There is an internal trail system from site to site that makes it easy to get to the restrooms, just make sure you have a light of some kind if you are going in the dark. We all had cell service but it was very weak. Also, this campsite connects to the John Dallenback (sp?) Dunes Trail, which, if you haven't done, is an amazing experience! Make sure you bring more water than you would on a non-dune 5 mile hike, the exposure on the dunes makes for thirsty walking!

Loved our weekend here. We were in Spaces 5 and 6 which gave us a lot of room - three large tents, two dining canopies, lots of room to spare. Campground host was very friendly. The campground was family and dog friendly, decently quiet and the bathrooms were clean and well maintained.
