Sandpit Campground — Hotel in Hurricane

The facility is well organized. There is easy access to all campgrounds. The showers and bathrooms are nice, but when I was there on labor day weekend, only 2 showers were working and 1 of the 8 toilets was out of service. Also. I saw a propane tank that I assumed was for heating water, but every time I checked the shower water at different times of day, the water was never hot. I felt like 4 toilets and 4 shower/toilet for the whole campground seemed like not enough. There were 8-10 people waiting each morning and after dinner. Also I saw many people, probably day use people, coming up from the beach to use the campground toilets.

The scenery was beautiful. Easy access to the sand dunes and the beach.

The most annoying thing is stupid people. Stupid people trashing the restrooms. Leaving all thier sand and trash all over the restrooms. Running generators during quiet hours. Stupid people running their modified bikes and quads during quiet hours. Stupid people letting their kids ride on the beach with no helmet or no flag. Stupid people racing their machines up and down the beach within 50 feet of other people. Stupid boaters and skidoo riders cutting in front and making large wakes within 50 feet. Stupid college kids blocking the boat launching area, just sitting about 100 feet from the ramp in the water making it hard for the 5 Lanes of boat launching folks to do so safely. Also college kids doing drugs at the cliff diving site.

I'm sure law enforcement upped their presence for the weekend... I did see one kid get a ticket for no helmet and another EMT incident close to the beach. But it was still woefully inadequate for the amount of...

This is definitely a place you stay if you don’t mind all of the OHV traffic, as this caters to such and others probably would not appreciate the noise. Spacious sites will fit your truck, fifth wheel and toy trailer. Some sites have hookups and some don’t, so be certain you know what you’re booking. There are restrooms, showers and dumpsters on site, as well as water. Dump station is down the road near the entrance/exit to the park. Park gate closes at 9 or 10 p.m., depending on the time of year, so plan accordingly. I would not suggest tents in this campground. Expect sand to be tracked everywhere in your trailers and vehicles. Windy conditions are not uncommon. I took off one star, as kids on small motorcycles were using the gravel road of the campground as a race track, even after bringing it to the staff’s attention. Very close to the sand dunes and access to the beach is just across the road. We enjoyed our stay and...

This is definitely NOT a tent camping area, next time I'll try the disbursed camping area. The oy place to set up my tent was in the middle of what looks like a graveled through way, because it's set up for toy haulers and folks with OHVs. I was told I could set up on the sand but anywhere near my site with sand looked more like heavily used OHV trail, and water shed. I ended up using my car to partially block the area I set my tent up at so that I didnt get ran over in the middle of the night.

During my stay, kids were out running around screaming until midnight, generators running most of the night, and OHVs coming and going until at least 11:30. It's hard to sleep with so much going on so late into the night.

The lake was great, however, and the dive park was a really cool...
