Sandy Hook Camp at Gateway was excellent as it most often is. The staff is very friendly and helpful. However they could use a bit more knowledge about Gateway itself. One question after labor day. Are the public restrooms still open? Or after labor day are the locked and only toilet facility is the ADA single person stall at each beach? Gateway Sandy Hook camp staff did not know the answer to that question. They should know. The answer is that the facilities at all the beaches are open as usual during the day and not locked after labor day.
