Walked the Walking Dunes trail with my 7 yr old; it's way cool. Not just for her but for my wife and I since we've never hiked dunes like this before. Very relaxing, scenic and different. Short trail as well, only about est. 30+ minutes. Well worth it.

We booked a tent site in the off-season so it was not as warm as it would be in July or August. It was however easier to book and you only had to book a minimum of 3 nights whereas during the high-season you need to book an entire week. There were only about 25 sites booked so there was... More

We camped out at Hither Hills and it was a great experience, We stayed for 3 days over the summer and though the weather was hot the beach was very close and we didnt have far to walk to use the restroom facilities as well. Check this restaurant out for take-out to bring to the beach. The Lobster Roll is... More

The few people you meet share this special place as though it were a secret. ,Lots of sand, no noise, unless the ocean waves annoy you.

Hither Hills is a beautiful Park that runs parallel with the ocean. They allow camping, but have limited sites with only water hookups. Dogs are allowed in sections. I have never camped here, but will definitely drive the MH out for a visit.

Didn't stay, but Picked up some friends here and although the park maintains it's natural beauty in some areas.. others were rough.. with lots of garbage. Needs more garbage cans, or more frequent pick up in the busy season.

Nice ocean views. Maybe a little too manicured, but not as much as Montauk Point. Best visited in Autumn and Winter when the crowds have departed.

We've been camping at Hither Hills in the early fall continuously for over 30 years. Great vibes, large beaches, nice facilities, good beach fishing -- life guards and park staff helpful and friendly. Only downside is the occassional large group of noisey, beer drinkers. 10pm quiet time, when observed, sets a nice standard. Moon, stars, surf sounds make for perfect... More

If you miss the exact 9 month reservation window, please moniter the site for cancellations, you may not get the exact week you want but you will find a week eventually... The campground does get crazy loud in the summer....some folks need to upgrade to a quiet genorator.... I prefer the off-season...the teens seem to get restless in the summer... More

Spent a gorgeous fall day at the park and it was great! There was a campground there but they must have been all inside. No one on the beach. It was a perfect day! Great facilities - restrooms, playground, etc. Don't think I'd like to be here in the summer with all the crowds, but I truly enjoyed my solitude... More
