Second time staying here. There is a lot of road noise at all hours since highway 1 is on one side and there are train tracks on the other side. We weren’t able to have our ac on and our hot water heater set to electric with our tripping the breaker. Lots of people that live full time. Bathrooms and showers are ok. Not the best. There is no pool. It is closed. Also we now have ants in our trailer. The nice part was we were moving from one rv park to the other and they let us check in early since there was no one in our spot the night before! This allowed us to not have to wait 4 hours.

Coastal dunes staff was fantastic and helpful. Very close to the dunes but not the nicest sites. Honestly you get what you pay for. The site was very quiet for October and everyone seemed to be at the nicer RV resorts down the road. We had tons of ants the entire time while here which was frustrating. You can walk through the site across the main road into the Park Ranger station and then follow that road to the dunes. About a 12 min walk which is really pleasant. We stayed for a week and it was fine but nothing beautifully pleasant. Again you are paying for this experience. So if you’re chill- it will be lovely

The only good thing about this RV park is the proximity to the beach. It’s tucked in between a busy road and a railroad, making it very noisy. The sites are small and too close to each other, with no tables or benches or fire pits. The restroom and shower facilities are old and dirty (not even any handsoap), and the laundry doesn’t have a machine for quarters or detergent. The pool is closed and seems like it has been for a while, as there are weeds growing on the cover. I don’t see how you’re getting your money’s worth at 65$ a night.

Very nice camping campground. Our family enjoyed it very much. Will love to return. Bathrooms are very close and the beach is only a 3 minute drive.

Great proximity to the beach. Easy to walk or drive onto the beach and a great site for families. We’ve been coming here yearly for about 10 years; no one drives fast, or plays loud music late into the night, kids are often riding bikes & scooters. The bathrooms are cleaned/ toilet paper restocked regularly and the hot water in showers is free. There are also outlets in the bathroom but there aren’t any mirrors so bring them one if needed. There is also a laundry room which is great when camping with small kids, but bring quarters for the machines. The camping sites are a bit narrow & separated by a narrow road so it can be hard to back up an RV if there’s someone in the campsite across from you. There’s water and power hookups and all the rv hookups.
