ALERT! ALERT! WOODROACHES EVERYWHERE! I'm shocked we're allowed to camp here, and It pains me to speak negatively about this great camping spot but the roach situation is OUT OF CONTROL. YOU WILL BRING ROACHES BACK TO YOUR HOME AND COMMUNITY. We spent 3 nights here and encountered 1000's of roaches. They will hide in the tents where the zipper flaps are and dozens will go into the the pole tubes, they will hide in everything you bring there. Before leaving myself and other guests spent hours shaking out every thing and article of clothing brought on to this land. When we arrived home we laid out a huge blue tarped and inspected everything again, we found about 50 then, it's 3 days later and I'm still killing them and finding egg nests. So after hours of cleaning in Sandy Hook and 4-5 more hours at home I've killed 73. 73! And we thought we did a good job of leaving them in Sandy Hook. I was told by a Ranger that they hijacked there way there from wood brought in from another state and they can't use pesticides because it's a National Park. To add insult to injury the showering and restroom facilities are not working but the porto- potties are, and boy do the roaches love them too. Don't go unless your community has these roaches already and you like to hang with roaches. On the second morning, I was leaving my tent hastily to run to the porto-pottie and was showered by about 25 roaches on my head and body as I unzipped the tent and they fell from under the flaps.

Loved the atmosphere of the old military base and being able to wake up and kayak was great. I did not like that you have to park quite a bit away from the camp sites and use a wheel barrow to cart your camping supplies back and forth.
