I was disappointed with the fact that there were no COVID restrictions/rules. The restrooms should have signs requiring masks (since it is a shared indoor space). Lots of out of state and big groups thus so much more risk.
Droplet and some airborne precautions needed. Seems like the host and/or community did not grasp this. May need education. Loud group was next to us but settled down some time after midnight. Restrooms were clean.

This is a great campground for tent camping, with nice private sites. Not as good for pull-through trailers, as those can't make use of the privacy. Excellent dune access.

Based on reviews I thought I was going to get a private spot but our spot was in a field. We made the best of it though. The host didn't do well at regulating quiet time which typically doesn't bother me but there was some sort of altercation at 1AM and cops and an ambulance were involved. This probably could have been prevented if the host did a better job. Other than that, bathrooms were great! The dunes were fantastic! All the other sites looked very private but very small. Cute place.

I absolutely loved Eel Creek campground! It was beautiful and you couldn’t pick a bad spot. They were all very private spots, with some larger for families. Beautiful rhododendron plants all around, exceptionally clean bathroom facilities, and lots of access to water. The check-in process with the host was super easy and the location, you can’t beat it. The campground has direct access to the dunes trails, which were breathtaking. I loved everything about it and will absolutely be back!
