This family vacation was an absolute blast! Everyone was incredibly friendly and welcoming. Honestly, this is my ideal beach vacation—no waves! Kids can swim, play in the water, or relax on the beach. You can also rent paddleboards or boats for some extra fun. I highly recommend this place to everyone! Ohh almost forgot - went for a run around the harbor. Loved every second of it. Must try to beat my time

This place is packed with rv motorhome tent and cottage like sardines. That means you have to share all amenities including bathroom. The bathroom was nice but smell like Marijuana My awning was barely touching the neighbors and people sit and cook on the street because of space on there sites. There is no quiet hours since there is no security enforcement at night. People party all night on the streets. Hot tub was a cold tub which was a joke. Same temperature as swimming pool. Only place that gets them good reviews is beach and water activities with restaurant. Be careful motor coach and rv campers this is not for you if you looking for peaceful camping beach place with average $200 a night. If I go to Oregon coast better place average $100.

I had a beautiful wedding with my husband, family and friends. With no thanks to Angela, who did not have a fiduciary duty to the customer, and did not mention hidden fees, and sold us on an inclusive package, that was completely hidden by a contract with fine print. It’s not a low cost alternative as they make it seem.

Fantastic location, grounds and bathrooms spotless. Wonderful large warm pool and two hot tubs. Trailer spots along bay large and scenic. Market open till 8 pm Right in jet flight path but no planes 10 till 7 am.

Location, location, location,. That's really what you're paying for here. It certainly isn't the RV site. They're tiny, narrow, short unlevel. Just kind of awful. It's when you get to everything else that this RV park, and it is a park not a resort, that it starts to stand out. The inlet, the kayaks, the walking path around the inlet, That's what makes this place decent. There are restaurants and general stores and all the things you want to see in an RV park and in space. It has to be and you have 400 RV sites. You better have something to do and it does. That and the fact that you're in Newport which is just a fantastic place in Southern California. Lots to do. Lots to see and all that. This isn't the terrible place or anything like that and actually will be back in less than a month which we first got here was absolutely in doubt cuz the RV sites are subpar in every aspect other than the super premium sites which is where we'll be in December and while Robert coming back here. The normal sites yeah they're kind of pathetic but if you can get past that deal with the the 3-ft on each side of your RV that you have between spaces, the fact that they're not level the fact that they're dirt instead of paved and all that then you can enjoy the other things that this park and its surroundings offer. I recommend the city Newport or Huntington Beach. I don't really recommend the RV Park, especially if you don't want screaming kids. People parked and moving their picnic tables into the the road that you're supposed to drive on and all the other garbage that you kind of deal with here. The laundry room is great. The bathrooms and showers are great. The amenities once you leave your RV spot are great but you got to deal The screaming children riding in the middle of the street. The people in the cabins that aren't actual rvers that don't understand etiquette, the tiny spots being right next to your neighbors and a few other issues. I gave it four stars and I'm comfortable with that because the pluses are pretty strong but if you took away even a few of those. Pluses then this is not a place you would come to a second time.

Love this place! My server, Jason, took good care of us and made sure we had everything we needed and enjoyed our time at the resort. It was a great staycation!

We have come here for years and years and have always loved it. It has always been absolutely beautiful and peaceful. The camping sites are amazing. But we always stay in the cabins and it has always been amazing. This past time however our large cabin was infested with huge roaches, the floor was held together with packing tape, and the toilet backed up so easily and ended up coming out of the sink. I did call and complain and they were very nice. But no offer of any sort of refund or any sort of help. For how much money we pay for a large cabin this was so unacceptable. I'm only writing a review in hopes that they will take The state of their cabins seriously again and do something about how much they have gone downhill.

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.

Newport Dunes is a wonderful place to vacation - camp spots and restrooms are extremely clean and well maintained, the pool area and club house are well managed and the kids loved having that space to hang out and for a change from the beach. The inflatables were a ton of fun and the bike path is perfect for leaving the grounds safely.

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.

Overall an amazing facility but the 1 star review is because they can’t seem to keep the battery charged on their Apple Pay card reader at the security booth. Sending this review with the hopes management can prioritize providing a reliable interface for payments made by tap or with apple/google pay. It’s 50/50 on the machine being working and staff tells me the battery dies and management won’t upgrade the unit. Help please!

I camped there 5 nights and had a great time. They allow propane fire pits and have a great little store. There is propane available. Just hold onto your hat when the bill comes. By the time you put your slides out, you pretty much fill your site. I had room for the awning and about 2/3 rds of my rug. It can't be too bad. I've camped there 2 years in a row. Beautiful views and lots of areas to walk around. They keep the grounds clean. I already have plans to return next year!
