All campgrounds have modern restrooms, potable water, unheated showers, grills and tables. NO utility connections are available. Frisco Campground is located among sand dunes. All others are on level ground. Soil at all the campgrounds is sandy; therefore, longer than normal tent stakes are recommended. There are no shade trees. Mosquitoes may be a problem, netting and insect repellent are recommended. The campgrounds are located on the ocean side separated from the beach by barrier dunes. Fees: Holders of the National Parks and Federal Recreational Lands Senior or Access Pass or the Golden Age or Access pass are eligible for a 50% discount on their campsite. If making a reservation, pass information must be provided at that time to receive the discount. Site: No more than two vehicles (pop-up camper is considered a vehicle) and six persons may occupy a single site. Parking space for extra vehicles is severely limited, so please plan accordingly.
