Satisfactory

Atlantic City Campground is satisfactory, placing it in the bottom 60% of campgrounds based on reviews

Reviewers overwhelmingly rate Atlantic City Campground very highly, emphasizing that it is quiet, clean, inexpensive, and set in a pretty, wooded area. It’s a primitive BLM/forest-style campground with no hookups, but offers well-maintained vault toilets, water, and basic amenities. A few negative comments focus on strict water/dump policies and lack of services like a dump station or the ability to buy water.
