As always, a fantastic time staying at the Oregon Inlet Campground. The facilities are top notch and clean, the customer service folks are friendly and helpful, and the setting is without compare. We've been coming here for over a decade, and will continue to in the future!

We were fortunate enough to get an electric site. Also would recommend the short drive to get to the beach. Left from campground and next left to parking with short walk to a beautiful beach. Was so happy for the free warm showers.

Wonderful location. It would be nice to have some lighting in the shower houses though so that you did not have to shower in the middle of the day. Park Personnel checked with us because he heard of some electrical problems. We had no issues, but it was nice of him to check with us. We enjoyed our stay and the rates are fabulous for senior citizens.

It was a good one night stay and the warm showers were wonderful. We were lucky enough to get one of the water/electric hookup sites. Some sites were not very level - however we had a very level site this time.

Restrooms were always immaculate, Rangers were very helpful, plenty of trash dumpsters and hot showers were wonderful except for the two ladies that took their sweet time!!!!

No sewer hook ups and unbelievably no bathhouse. They have showers with a three-quarter door in it and a pull string that brings the water down on you. Not very handicap accessible. You have to walk over the grass and up a hill to get to the bath rooms. In September the grass was at least 10 inches tall.
I know it was close to the end of the season, but if the campground is open, it should be maintained. I was sorely disappointed.!
