It must be very good for people with quads, but we are just regular travellers who did booking online. It was not clear at the time of booking that this camping is specialized and suitable ONLY for people with quads.
It is loud, with no quick access to the shore. Other regular travellers looked frustrated too.
And a note for the administrative body: quad traces are everywhere, including the places where it is forbidden

Sand beach is beautiful, serene. Well worth foregoing a shower. Possible my favorite beach on the Oregon coast.

This is one of our go to places and we really like it there. It's very kid friendly to where it's a small area with open play areas so the kids can be seen by fellow riders. One of the good things is Tillamook cheese factory is just up the road where you can get some good ice cream 🍦. There is a fuel station just up the road where you can just about any mx/atv or side x side part you may need. The only downfall is no electricity at any of the sites and my wife has a medical 🚑 condition that requires her to be on a machine at night and there is no generator use after 10 and believe me people get really upset 😡 is you use the generator. I would pay extra for at least electrical outlets at the sites. It would be a cost to have electric to the sites but I would pay extra per night just to have a plug in with that being said we'll still go there

Policies & Rules
Cancellation policy
- Reservation fees are non-refundable. For campsites, cabins, lookouts, yurts, group sites, and similar stays, we charge a reservation service fee of $8.
- Standard cancellations usually have a $10 cancellation fee. Customers can generally cancel before the check-in date online.
- Late cancellation rules differ by stay type.
- Individual campsites: cancelling after 12:00am local time the day before arrival usually means a $10 cancellation fee plus forfeiting the first night's fee.
- Cabins, lookouts, and yurts: cancelling less than 14 days before arrival usually means a $10 cancellation fee plus forfeiting the first night's fee.
- One-night reservations: a late cancellation usually forfeits the full amount paid, up to the total original reservation cost.
- Modifications are allowed before the cut-off window, but fees depend on the change. Changing to dates completely outside the original reservation dates may trigger a $10 change fee. Extending or shortening a stay that still includes original dates usually has no change fee, though refunds may depend on timing and facility rules. Switching to the same type of campsite for the same dates usually has no change fee, but price differences are charged or refunded.
- Early departures may or may not be refunded. At certain facilities, partial refunds may be possible if staff can mark the site available for other visitors. No refund is given for a night if the early departure is requested after that day's check-out time.
