If you see the big, red dog, you've reached The Southampton Dog Park which is generously situated…read moreon an acre of land with three different sections for small, medium and large dogs. Since there is more dirt than grass, be prepared for dirty and potentially wet feet. On the quiet day we visited, a sitter for six dogs sat on one of the benches, paying more attention to the phone than the various sized dogs. An owner kept his dog on the leash while in the park, usually not a recommended habit. Grateful the town offers a dog park, but not too sure about the care and rules of the park.

However, there have been some incidents in the rowdy section to the point where the dog park is becoming infamous among locals. Yesterday my boyfriend and I were walking our dog from my parents house to the dog park, and stopped by a local business. The business owner came out and warned us against going to the dog park, saying he wouldn't bring his own dog there and that "if you see a pit bull, run". I've also heard from others about a different problematic large dog (and it's owner), where the dog is very aggressive and violent towards other dogs and humans. If you are concerned, perhaps stay in the gentle dog section and don't go into the rowdy section!

One of the nicest things about this park is the full restroom facilities, with running hot water…read more So many parks only have cold water which is painful for some of us. So Kudos for this. During the soccer season they have at least three fields operational covering all age groups. The U13+ field is not the largest but it's pretty wide. No spectator seating for that field either but we'd all do a little better to walk more and site less. Additionally there is baseball field and a small playground for the wee ones. So there's a little something for everyone.

Labor Day Weekend 2021 - Everything is open!…read more I came on a whim of intuition, with tent in tow, that my 3.5 he drive from the city might, just might result in a walk-up campsite for one or two nights. At first I was turned away because I was too late- all the available sites had been given away before 3pm. However, I stayed curious and asked some extra questions about how the walk-up system worked in the event I would try again the next day. To my luck, the park attendant said to come back in a couple hours because I might get lucky with some later call backs... and 4:30pm lucky I got!!! I did have a backup plan- that I would head to Wildwood on North Fork which had plenty of availability if I couldn't get a spot at Hither Hills. Everything was open- even the kitchen making egg sandwiches and salads in the General Store. Lifeguards on the beach. Beach stand selling alcohol. Showers and restrooms all open, and very clean. I stayed in the A section of the campground, which has the most sand on the lots, and backs up to the dunes, which was exactly what I wanted/needed. The campsites don't have electric, but there is a water spout in the middle of some sections. The bathrooms are never too far and the showers are clean. There are some electrical outlets in the bathroom for things like hair dryer and electric razor, or for me, charging a battery pack while I shower, brush my teeth, and do my hair. The beach on this weekend was pristine and perfect. Despite hurricane Ira moving through only days earlier, after the storm, the beach at Hither Hills had barely any debris or carnage and just smooth waves and perfect weather for a long holiday weekend. I didn't bother bringing a cooler or camp stove because I was just one person and there are plenty of restaurants and bars and cafes around to visit by car during the day- and that's part of the fun for me (and every yelper?!?)- exploring local food options! I also really enjoyed visiting the East Hampton library to pick up some free books, get WiFi connected, and recharge phone battery during the day. You definitely won't find a cheaper stay in the Hamptons or Montauk unless you're invited to someone's beach house!!
