Sandy gem
Great camping and hiking site. The dunes provide moderate difficulty levels, despite being a relatively small park there are so many hidden trails one can take. Dispersed camping is allowed and pets are welcomed. I didn't see any ticks or many insects but we camped by the lake trail which was windy and chilly. If you're camping by the lake pick up dead branches or logs around the trail to build a bonfire. It's hard to find these on the lake trail. Don't chop down live trees etc, just come prepared or hike back up to the main trail for dead wood. Lastly, most of the trails are not clearly marked, take a picture of the map and have a compass ready to navigate.
