Love national forest campsites for their simplicity and peace and quiet! This was a lovely spot in the woods.

Nice little forest service campground. Wooded with a secluded feel. Clean. Quiet. Super nice host. Not on ocean, but can hear a quiet ocean roar.

The sites were quiet and private with lush growth between each, and the grounds and bathrooms were very cleaned every day. We were on site 17 with an 8’ x 12’ tent and it was just right. I could see how some of the other sites might not be as accommodating to a larger tent, but there were several sites in reserved and in FCFS areas that could. There is a little walking path that goes around the pond and connects to each site with a foot bridge here and there. There is also a smaller lake day use area that has a dune trail (starting at the vault toilets there) that is a bit longer of a hike in the sand, but really pretty and quiet.

Pros: convenient location, the lake is pretty, lots of wild Berries, cute little trails around the lake, very clean bathrooms for a campsite.
Cons: you can hear cars on the highway at night, the lake is quite small and we found 3 random fish hooks near the shore, the spots were tiny (we literally had to set one of the tents up on the cement) and close to one another (we heard lots of other campers, including some folks who brought out a home theater with amplified sound).
It was sufficient for our needs, but nothing spectacular. Seems like it is well-suited for RV camping, though.

Very friendly host. Smaller site fit a tent and a canopy and two cars though! Lots of privacy. No trees to hang hammocks.

Good for RV camping. In a tent, you will hear the highway all night long over the very faint sound of the waves. Any sites near the restroom will have to endure an odor, despite it being very well maintained. Some sites have no level area without exposed roots (forget about a tent there). There is Forest and Dune hiking very close. Basically in Florence if you want to be close to town.
