Not great for a quiet nature getaway

Camped on the night of July 3rd. Campsite 58, one of the furthest away from the dunes but you couldn’t escape the noise - ATV riders/generators did not adhere to quiet hours (10pm-7am), the engines quieted down around 1am but then started back up around 5:30am. Great if you like the dune buggy lifestyle but not if you are looking for a serene/private excursion. The hiker/biker camps offer more visual privacy but you can still hear the off road vehicles on the dunes.

Amazing

This place is amazing. They have working toilets. It's close to the beach. Great if you have quads or dirt bikes. Does get kinda noise because of them but didn't notice it after the first night. The people there follow quiet hour very well, and it's well maintain. The spots are huge too. We rented 3 spots and had enough room for 12 tents. Only need 1 spot if your doing 4 tent. I believe that is their max. They have sand pits at each campground and a pre-made firepits.
