The Newport Dunes Waterfront Resort has an unbeatable location and is well-maintained with great amenities like a beach and pool. The friendliness of the front desk staff was a highlight, which made my stay pleasant. However, it does come at a premium price, and the RV sites are a bit cramped and basic. Overall, it's a good spot for RV travelers but there are some drawbacks that need addressing.

Our family had a wonderful time at Newport Dunes Waterfront Resort and Marina, finding it to be an excellent spot for camping or 'glamping'. The friendly atmosphere and offered amenities like a beautiful beach and fun water activities truly added to our experience. However, a few downsides included limited site space and some issues with showers that could be frustrating for larger families. Overall, it's a great choice for those looking to enjoy a beach camping experience with family.
