We enjoyed our stay here at Sandy Shores. It was quiet, safe (love the 5mph speed limit!), and it a great location near all that the town has to offer. The sites were small but nice, with concrete pads and grass around it. Had had a picnic table and small fire ring. The bathrooms were very clean. My only complaint is that the showers had a nozzle in which you had to keep pushing it in for water flow, which only lasted about ten seconds. But at least the water was warm. All the staff we encountered were friendly and welcoming. There was a large playground that included swings, slides, climbing equipment, pickleball, and basketball courts. The heated pool was another nice amenity. Best of all was that everything was in walking distance or short driving distance from the campground.

The campsite itself was very nice — we loved that it had full hookups and was conveniently close to everything. My low rating isn’t about the campground itself but about the atmosphere created by many of the seasonal campers. Unfortunately, they behaved as if they ran the place. They yelled at my 6- and 9-year-old children just for riding their bikes and even for simply looking in their direction. My 17-year-old drove with me to the gas station and back, and a woman came out screaming at him for “speeding,” even though he absolutely was not. It was really heartbreaking — we planned this as a family vacation, but instead, that group of seasonal campers ended up yelling at multiple people and creating an un welcoming environment.

I would NOT recommend this place. Especially if you want to make memories and s'mores after 10. We were out at the fire with our children and were told to be quiet. We were NOT loud. No bike riding after dark, NO chairs available for the pool, NO floats at the pool, NO laughing, NO entrance after 11pm. NO, NO NO! We were also over charged for our children. I would look else where.

We recently stayed at this campground after it was advertised as “family friendly,” but unfortunately, our experience didn’t live up to that claim. To start with the positives: the bathrooms are clean, and the playground was actually quite nice — our kids enjoyed it and it was one of the few genuinely family-friendly features. However, several things made our stay frustrating: The only handicap-accessible bathroom stall was locked, and you have to go to the office to request a key. This is not clearly communicated and is very inconvenient — especially for those who actually need accessible facilities. There is no family locker room or changing area, which makes showering and changing with young kids a real challenge. The pool has a long list of strict rules that seem aimed at eliminating fun: no pool noodles, no floating toys, no music, and there were no chairs at the pool to relax in. It felt more like a quiet adult swim area than a place where families could enjoy time together. A “park store” is advertised, but it’s really just the main office with no actual store to speak of. Don’t expect to grab any last-minute essentials or snacks — you'll need to leave the campground for anything like that. The campground is largely filled with seasonal guests, who take up most of the full hook-up sites. As short-term visitors, it felt like we were outsiders in a space primarily designed for long-term stays. The vibe wasn’t particularly welcoming. Overall, while the campground is clean and the playground is a plus, it falls short of being truly family-friendly or accessible. If you're traveling with kids or anyone with special needs, I’d recommend looking elsewhere.

We have been camping at this campground for many years. We come yearly for a nice 9-10 day stay. Camp fires and being up until 1am or later with a great group of Jeep scrambler friends. Quiet hours really are nice. We can enjoy the fire, chatting and having fun without needing to be loud. The campground is very very well kept. Clean bathrooms and showers. Friendly staff and Owners. We appreciate all of Sandy shores staff for all their hard work into keeping the campground so beautiful, inviting & comfortable atmosphere! We love camping here:-)

Great campground operated, maintained and manicured by great people. Clean, modern bathrooms and showers. Spaced out sites. Even a heated pool if you need a day away from the dunes. Priced a little higher than normal but it's worth it.

Very clean, quiet campground. Friendly owners & staff. Gated & Partially seasonal which keeps it quiet. Our family fills 7 sites for 10 days every July. The kids (2-21) love everything it has to offer from pool, private beach, playground, to safe roads for bike riding. There is so much to do with the dunes & town super close. Highly recommend Sandy Shores.

Roomy pull thru sites. Very well kept and the staff is amazing. It was too chilly to use the pool but it looked very inviting. Loved the proximity to store and beach. Very strict dog policy, so it put a bit of a cramp in our plans but we made it work. Felt very safe and was family friendly.

We started coming here in 2009. We were hooked! Jerry and Chris, the owners are amazing. The staff is incredible, always friendly and love what they do. The campground is extremely clean and well kept. The showers and bathrooms are always very clean. We have wonderful memories of bringing our kids here each summer. We look forward to coming back every year. The only bad thing is having to leave. We love it here and can't wait to return!

Best campground, and best staff at the dunes

Our large family group has stayed here for decades. Amazing family run campground. Very clean. Great amenities. Close to everything. Rules ensure quiet environment and safety for young children everywhere in the park.

We love this area and love this campground. The owners are incredibly nice. We have only reserved full hookup sites and they are nice size and allow our dogs to have a little space to move around. The pool is great and heated. The facilities are super clean. My daughter actually will shower there instead of waiting to use the shower in the camper. It's a nice quiet campground and perfectly located. Close enough to walk or bike ride to get ice cream or go to the arcade and go carts just a short way down the street. The beach area is small but a fun spot to build a sand castle, have a picnic and get some sun but to shallow to swim. For my family it is perfect and we will always choose Sandy Shores.
