Unfortunately, due to the current high surf conditions at Shinnecock East campground, we are going to be closing the campground on Wednesday, August 20, 2025, at 5:00pm. This closure will remain in place for at least Thursday and Friday. If you are currently checked in, you will be asked to leave the campground by 5pm tomorrow. No check-ins will be allowed until the park reopens.
We will be evaluating the coastal conditions over the next couple of days, and we will determine if we are able to allow campers to return on Friday, August 22, 2025. We apologize for any inconvenience that this may cause, but this decision was made to ensure everyone's safety.
For any individuals that either checked out early or are not allowed to check in on their reservation start date due to the storm, we will be adjusting those reservations and issuing refunds. This is a manual process, and we will do the adjustments over the next week. You will receive an emailed receipt once the modification has been completed.
If you need to reach the Shinnecock East check in booth, please call 631-852-8839. Please note that individuals calling 631-854-4949 will be directed to the County's 311 information call center and may not reach park staff until Monday after 9:00am.
