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!

Most of the campsites are fairly steep fore and aft. The one we used (4) was almost beyond the capacity of my RPOD to compensate for the steep angle. Although, the word "Dunes" in the name evokes visions of sea and sand, it is in fact in a rain forest. The site was adequate and the weather we had (incessant rain) probably skewed my rating. Oh, a bear meandered through while we were there. Staff went around advising the guests of this.

My husband & I love this campground. Peaceful with lots of vegetation. The lakes are stocked with trout, there are pleasant trails through the forest and dunes, the birdsong is wonderful, and the outhouses are very clean.

Most of the sites are fairly private thanks to good design and foliage preservation.
Mosquitoes are present but not overwhelming.
The sound of the cars on the highway and odd animal sounds (frogs?) take some getting used to.
Don't bother to hike toward the coast if your goal is a beach. The trails don't go there but they are still a nice hike.
