Quiet campground. Vegetation between some campsites creates privacy. Nice, seldom traveled trails to dunes and beach.

Basic campground with a kind manager. She helped us out and was very accommodating. We came here without any reservations around 8:30pm and got a spot. There are paved spots, some level some not. They all come with a little area to pitch a tent, a picnic table and a fire pit. The bathroom has a composting toilet and some hand sanitizer. It had grab bars on the walls and was quite large. It seemed accessible/ ADA compliant. There aren't any electrical hookups, but they did have a water fill station. I didn't use it so I can't speak to whether it's potable. Our spot cost us about $36 for the night. We felt very safe and people were kind.

A pleasant campground. The plants and bushes between campsites provide plenty of privacy. Alder Lake, which sat behind our site, was great to stroll around. We enjoyed our stay here.

Just love this place. Dry camping so there's very few giant, obnoxious RV's. Privacy flora between most campsites. On different visits throughout the summer snacked on salmonberries, thimbleberries and blackberries. Fantastic hiking out to the highest dune overlooking Baker Beach. Out and back 5.5 to 6 mi. Nice ponds throughout campground. Affordable place only about 70 mi from Eugene. Nothing like fleeing the heat and smoke of the Willamette Valley to a place 25-35 degrees cooler with fresh air. Already making plans for next trip!
