The campground consists of 74 Recreational Vehicle sites, complete with water, and 110V, 50/30 amp electric hook-ups. There are 66 sites with sewer hook ups. There are two (gray-black water) dumping stations which are available to campers and non-campers for a nominal fee. The comfort station is easily located and has showers that are wheelchair accessible. There is no tent camping.
The Campground will be open from April through November if weather permits.
To reach Nickerson Beach Park from the North Shore, take Meadowbrook Parkway South to Loop Parkway (Exit M10) to Point Lookout. Turn right onto Lido Boulevard. Nassau Beach is about half-mile on your left-hand side. From the South Shore, take Southern State Parkway (East) to Meadowbrook Parkway (South) toward Jones Beach. Just before the Jones Beach Toll, go off onto the Loop Parkway (exit M10) toward Point Lookout. Take Loop Parkway all the way to the end. Turn right: Nickerson Beach Park is on the left-hand side about a half-mile away.
No WiFi provided, 9pm curfew to drive in with your vehicle, you would have to park in the next parking lot and walk to your RV. It is not far, BUT, they do NOT spray for mosquitos and the second you are outside you are swarmed by these HUGE relentless mosquitos that pretty much eat you alive. Not a fun or pleasant experience. It is the ONLY campground in Nassau County so I feel like they bank on that.
Not a campground for elderly or handicap people. They are constantly harassing everyone about adhering to their ridiculous rules, like you must back your car/ truck into the site - no head in parking. They close and lock the entrance gate at 9PM and sometimes even earlier. Then you'd have to park about 1/2 mile away and walk back to your camper in the dark. Staff rides their golf carts thru your occupied site but prohibited you from doing ...so....the do as I say and not as I do policy. Beach is a far distance to walk from the RV sites. Overall, We won't be back!
Nickerson Beach Campground is a nice relaxing environment. The camp hosts were super friendly and helpful. They guide you to your site and make sure you back in with no issues. The campground is spotless and the staff is constantly around cleaning and taking care of the facilities. There is now a camp store with basic necessities and beach equipment. With the gate by the dunes open access to the beach is not too bad, but as someone else posted it would be nice have a separate beach access so we do not have to walk through the cabana area. Look forward to coming back here again !!
Campground itself was clean and quiet. The bathrooms were very clean, the staff was very helpful. Each site was large and we had plenty of room to spread out. I would give the fifth star if the campground had its own beach access, walking through the cabana area took a lot of extra time and was awkward. I also think use of the pool should be included in the site. My kids would have liked to swim in the pool and i thought paying an extra $50 a day on top of the price of the site was a little much. Other than that everything else was great and we are definitely planning on booking next summer.
