Newport Dunes Waterfront Resort & Marina

We rented one of the large cabins for two nights. Location and service great. Cabin was in need of some TLC. Very dirty and need of painting. Blinds were falling apart and scotch taped together. Had cockroaches running by in the bathroom. Bathroom faucets did not work well. With the amount of money they are pulling in daily they sure could keep it in better shape.

Great views. Had a birthday party for my son, who turned 7 and it was actually really accommodating and enjoyable. Not too crowded and the atmosphere was definitely welcome. I highly recommend this vacation to friends as they too look for kids friendly summer spots!

Great campground! We had a tent and RV on the site. Full hookup’s worked great. The pool was warm and the hot tub was hot! The cove was nice and calm, perfect for paddle boarding and kayaks. Kids had a blast riding around. The other campers drove carefully and were quiet at the right time. My only complaint was that a crow decided to complaint all morning one day. Not the parks fault, annoying still. All together an amazing time!

PROS: The location of this resort is just perfect for walking to Balboa Island, driving to both Long Beach and Laguna Beach. It is perfect to paddle board right into the bay from your campsite and be on the beach. The staff is wonderful and very friendly. It is a very safe campground. The store is great, the pool was clean and always busy. Laundry room is large with lots of machines ( all of them working) and clean; with the app it is reasonable to do laundry. The weekdays are wonderful, quiet and respectful neighbors and not too crowded. CONS: The showers need to have fans as they are sooo steamy and the floors are wet. The sites are tight, but the sites with a little grass would be wonderful. Hard to park the rig and truck at your site. Probably the biggest con is that the weekends are like party central. Our neighbors talked right outside our window all night and the music, kids under 10 driving golf carts in tight spaces was crazy. I love to talk with people and hang out, but the weekends are not peaceful if that is what you are looking for.

The campground was fantastic, another great stay at the dunes. Facilities were clean beach was clean. Pool was clean. Hot tub was nice and hot pool was warm. Everything was good. We stayed in the waterfront sites, which is an absolute luxury for this campground. As you get further back the sites get cheaper but also much tighter the front sites have an awesome grassy area with a fence and it just makes the trip. I have to say it was a little unexpected that the water was green and mucky. I don’t remember this being there so I’m guessing that this is because we stayed there in the off-season which ends May 1 hopefully they will clean all that out out of the bay before the season starts. It’s pretty gross.
