Car Camping
Long Point offers four campground areas in two sections of the park. Almost half of campsites have electrical service.
The section generally called “New Park” includes three of the campgrounds: Monarch’s Rest, Firefly and Turtle Dunes Campgrounds, as well as the popular Day Use area.
Firefly Campground offers large pull-through sites equipped with electrical service. Located on the bay side of the campground, they are a short five minute walk to the beach.
Monarch’s Rest and Turtle Dunes Campgrounds offer some electrical sites that are able to accommodate a variety of equipment. The premium campsites, located in the dunes at the ends of the loops closest to the beach, offer a soft sandy base.
The Old Park section of Long Point includes Cottonwood Campground, a radio-free campground. The sites can accommodate a variety of equipment sizes. As of 2012 this campground features a new barrier-free comfort station with showers. Premium campsites are located at the ends of the loops and are very close to the beach.
Radio-Free Camping
Cottonwood Campground (Old Park) is a radio-free campground with a total of 81 campsites.
