Sandy Neck Camp Sites

Definitely worth of the hike. Fire on the beach with beautiful sunset, no crowded. Such a peaceful experience with my friends. The campsite was having dining table, there is dry dry toilet and drinking water. So no needs to carry water. Unfortunately this is not really handicapped friendly due to the location.

3.5 mile hike in. The hike wasn't easy with backpacks. The loose sand made it take a lot longer than it would on dirt or packed sand. Still a nice hike and the 5 camp sites are really nice and cozy. The outhouse is smelly as to be expected of a latrine such as that. The beach is nice, rocky in some parts, sandy in others. I'll be back this summer. Hopefully the RVs wont mess up the experience.

Spent a weekend with a friend in August at the Lean-To about 2.3miles hike in. Closer then the tent camping sites but farther hike to the ocean. 1 window in the lean-to with a good amount of trees around to escape the hot sun. Good breezes the weekend we were there, plenty of places to setup a hammock. Dry port-o-potty just in the trees around the backside of the lean-to. Bugs were not bad but I'd always bring bug spray just in case. Trail/road out to the site is shared at times with vehicles headed to the cottages at the far end of Sandy Neck. Bring plenty of water for the hike in and out during the summer months. Inside the lean-to was a small shelf just wide enough for a sleeping pad. You could possibly sleep 3-4 people on this shelf. Ranger brought us our couple bundles of firewood fro

I was recently bikepacking on the cape, and I found an available night at the lean to. I was super excited for this night, as it looks like a beautiful area. When I arrived I was told I could not bring my bike, so I had to carry my pannier bags 2.5 miles to the site. When I got there, the lean to was covered in bird poop. There was literally piles of it. Birds had nested in the roof and noone had bothered to clean it. I cleaned it as best I could and set up my tent. As soon as I got inside I started itching. It kept getting worse and I eventually noticed THOUSANDS of teeeeeny tiny mites crawling all over me, all over my tent, sleeping bag, clothes, literally everywhere. I called the gate house and was told that there was nothing they could do till 7 am. I did not feel comfortable doing t

Unique camping experience behind the dunes of Sandy Neck. Drinking water is brought in by staff. Each site has a picnic table. Sites are very small and allow for a max of 2 tents each. A really beautiful place. Warning: By mid-season, the porta-potty is usually in poor condition. Avoid sites 1 & 3 as you will smell the toilet the entire stay.
