It would have been great if we made it. Bearings heated on toy hauler and caught brakes of fire and had to leave at Les Schwab for a week. Never made it to the 2 nights I booked. But have stayed at campground many times. Great place.

Had a great time. Fabulous weather for a weekend in February and not too many campers this time of year. Hosts are very friendly and helpful. The little store at the end of the road has a great variety of things including food, clothing, parts and drinks and the employees there are very friendly. Good experience and overall great weekend!

Me and my girls enjoyed our time. The only thing is there is no service at camp sites. There is service right by the ocean.

These are nice, simple campsites near the sand with basic camping accommodations and decent facilities. It's a bit tucked away, but luckily this means they feel private and the noise isn't too bad either. Some people might have loud vehicles and RV's, however, this was mostly minimal for us.
It's a bit of a drive from the nearby towns and areas, but if you like that sense of seclusion, it's a nice campsite.
