There are two miles of sand dunes between the park and the ocean. Two natural freshwater lakes are within the park. Cleawox — which is great for swimming — and Woahink, which has a public boat ramp, is used for all water sports. Spring brings out the pink rhododendrons. Come summertime, this is a great place for family reunions. The fall huckleberries and blackberries are ripe for the picking during the winter access to the sand dunes for off-road vehicles. This a camp for all seasons.
