We've stayed on 156 and several others close by.
Hunting Island is a tale of two parks...if you camp in the back area, you will be eaten alive by mosquitoes on 99 out of 100 trips. If you stay in the front loops, you'll usually have a nice breeze to keep the bugs reasonable. Good luck finding sites on the front loop. We have twice. It was AMAZING!
Only 1 trip out of a dozen were we able to sit outside on the back loop. The area around 157 is also low and floods in a rain. Most of the back loops do.
With all that bad news, GO ANYWAY! It is an outstanding campground and unique to any others we've been to. Every time we've been, once you get to the beach, the bugs are almost non existent.
We've never been in the winter, but want to try it.
