Watch Hill Fire Island Campground & Safari Tent Glamping

This place is magical. Yes there are some mosquiotos and bugs but you’re in the middle of nowhere - it’s to be expected and really isn’t as bad as the person below makes out. I can only assume that they are used to 5* hotels surrounded by “things to do”. If you want a little adventure and beautiful scenery and quiet then this is your place. The staff were great, we had an amazing stay

The campground has excellent infrastructure and is remarkably close to the beach--moreso than other sites I've been to. The bathrooms are comfortable and better than what is offered at most beaches/campsites. The general store is well-stocked, and the restaurant by the docks was very good. When the weather is good, falling asleep on a sandy campground without the rain fly on your tent so you can see the stars and hear the ocean is a beautiful experience.||I would say that the two biggest drawbacks were the price and, as others have mentioned, the insects.||It is difficult to reserve 1 night camping as when we booked we were forced to buy 3 nights minimum, which netted out to $118. Glamping options are more available, but also much more expensive.||The insects were ravenous. There is an ele

The area around Watch Hill Campground is stunning. The people working there are lovely and helpful and the other guests were friendly and respected quiet hours. However this year, cuts to the NATIONAL PARK SERVICE are clearly affecting the quality of the experience for all. No ranger programs during the week; no lifeguards during the week that I could see. The showers were moldy and filthy and the few shower curtains remaining were torn and black with mold. The water is cold of course but that is to be expected. I couldn’t bring myself to enter the shower. Our glamping tent had a broken zipper and a huge tear in the screen and there was no one to report this to. Mosquitoes also bad but that is no one’s fault. The beauty of the place makes it worth a visit but be prepared.

I went at end of season. I didn't have a "glamp" so I am not reviewing it. Great time! Expect to wake up early because the catbirds will wake you. Exceptionally peaceful. BRING your bug spray! The real stuff, with DEET because salt marsh mosquitoes are built differently.

DO NOT come here if you hate mosquitos, use your phone alot (there is only 2 outlets in the entire campsite that were actually working), and shower with hot water (basically nonexistent) The mosquitos were unstoppable to the point where bug spray wont do anything. We found cockroaches, spiders, and colonies of ants in the showers (both men and women.) This place also has nothing to do at all. All you can do is walk around the nonexistent “town” or you can go to a bar. The only thing thats mildly good is the food. The french fries were seasoned well and the pina coladas tasted amazing (the review has to do with the campsite not the food so i wont be adding any extra stars) The service was also horrible at the general store. Well in a short summary, dont come here. Cold water, almost no ou
