We rented a one bedroom beachfront cottage and was completely disappointed. We paid over $200 per night and received a cottage that was worth less than $100 per night! The cottages and facilities are not maintained well. There is a 15 minute limit of hot water in the shower. The window blinds are bent and broken. There was dog poop... More

We stayed at Newport Dunes on July 5th through the 8th of July 2011. We were a big group and had two tent sites and one cottage. Our tent sites were together and the cottage was 2 rows in front of us, and just a short walk. The grounds are nicely maintained, the campsite and cabin were ready and clean... More

Resort is in a great location, lots of activity on the beach. Lots of water rentals available. Expect to pay for all the activity that you want to do on the beach. We stay in a studio cottage. It's small but we expect it to be small since it's a studio. As other has stated, all the site are very... More

The campgrounds were very clean, staff was friendly and we had lots to do. We rented bikes and rode around the campground and back bay drive. We also brought our kayak and had the best time. My kids loved the waterpark and the pool. I haven't been camping in years and was pleasantly surprised. The campground is very close to... More

The spots are small, you could ask your neighbor to hand you some toilet paper if you needed some that is how close you are. The showers had no hot water. The movie on the beach changed 3 times and the screen looked as though my child spilled hot coco all over it. They ran out of life vests for... More

The people at the store were just awesome. There was a little blond girl, an older lady (who was just a total sweethart) and a nice... More

This is a beautiful park. We were overwhelmed by the location and how much there is to do and see. There is a paved bike/walking trail right alongside the park that goes all the way around the back bay (miles of protected land.) We spent many days bike riding to the beach, around the bay and on Balboa Island. We... More

The location is great but not worth the hassle of the staff. Be prepared to pay extra for everything. Even though we had 2 hours free parking, the parking staff was so rude to us on the way out and they made us pay the full amount anyway. We were so offended we never want to go back if that... More

My family and I were there through easter. We had a wonderfull time. The amenities are amazing. The sites are well equiped and well maintained. The staff is incredible. That is a definite plus. They make you feel right at home. My children can't wait to go back and enjoy the movies on the beach throughout the summer. I do... More
