“help! Can't get reservation!”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed October 13, 2012

Tis year I was fortunate to visit my cousins here one day this summer. I used to LOVE it here but I have not been able to get a reservation for years! What is the deal with furiously calling and going on line and anxiously typing away in a panic at EXACTLY 8:59 am, PRECISELY 9 months before your vacation week, and being informed at 9:01 am that all sites are sold out. Not only is that a logical and physical impossiblity, but (since Hither Hills is a government facilty) deserves to be investigated by the State DAs office. An accountability of the fees, pricing, and trickery by "Reserve America" need to be delved into as well. REMEMBER...This OUR park (NYS taxpayers) NOT RESERVE AMERICA'S. Any hints? How do you all get sites every year!

“Beach front camping”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed September 30, 2012

This was so cool. We stumbled upon this and wished I was a camper! What a treat to be practically on the beach.

“Hither Hills Get a permit to camp or just stay the day.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed September 26, 2012

Hither Hills State Park offers camping by lottery. The camping area is on the beach separated from the ocean by sand dunes.

This has facilities and a place for refreshement. This is a fine park for a day trip.

“Wonderful!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed September 10, 2012

Wonderful, well maintained, oceanside. We had a great time. Nice to hear the ocean all night instead of generators running. Although, for the amount of money this campground brings in, the bath houses in the campground area could use an update to provide easier maintenance and better usability for the camper.

upside was no crowds- pre memorial day. downside, it was kinda windy and cold. upside, there are plenty of campsites pre-season. also a fine example of a dunes beach with attendant distinction beach flora, good explanatory plaques about the plants and shells you may find.
