terrible camp hosts

it was supposed to be a vacation but could have been better after driving 9 hours to be received by the rudest camp hosts and then harrassed daily with mass texts of threats of being charged for extra car parking, too many cars parked, no parking by the bathroom, be sure to put the garbage in the right bin, check out time, don't share your gate code, gate code expiring so be out on time and it went on and on.  They will not work with you to move your site close to your group or try to keep you together, they just don't care, it is worse than self checkout at grocery store, they want to do no work and will just monitor their prescious gate to ensure that everyone uses it and it closes in between trailers, will never return and you shoudl find somewhere else to spend your time.

Great campground for dune access

Camped here in August 2020. Right at the edge of the dunes. They really pack the campers in tight here so if you like extra space this isn’t for you. Also there are people riding just behind the camp late into the night so may be hard to sleep for light sleepers.

Dune Lucky

The campground is merely a springboard for duning - and oh what a vast, lovely expanse it is.  Rentals, plenty of enthusiastic neighbors and tons of bright sand for both beginning and advanced riders.  There's no delineation between all the sites, and this isn't on the coastline, but there are plenty of amazing water views, nooks and crannies.  I dare you to pitch a tent, offer a bewildered "oh... I didn't know people duned here..." and get some free play time.
