Never again. This next door to the off-road area for ATVs, etc. Lots of VERY LOUD off road vehicles doing laps in the campground. Some with kids standing on seats, others with three little kids no helmets and no adult supervision. We had reservations for two nights, left the first thing in the morning after the first night.

Everything was great. We stayed here Sunday through Tuesday the weekend before Labor Day weekend and it was pretty darn quiet, so the sand was also good. No problems with loud neighbors. Campground was clean.

Greetings.
I stayed in the circle and it was a ridiculously dangerous place to be during the weekend. My family and I were there for 9 days. First weekend had over 50 Hispanics in the circle, we'll over the people per space rule. That first weekend, they were trying to teach their kids to ride. Do that at home or on the sand. There's a place for that by the day use area. There were over 5 accidents. One kids fell off a dirtbike with training wheels and the dirtbike kept going and hit someone's SUV. Kids and adults alike, were riding the the center of the circle doing burnouts and spewing rocks and sand everywhere. My granddaughter and I spent 2 hours after they all left, sweeping all the rocks and sand back to the center. The weekdays were great. I had 2 spaces rented. 1 for my daughter and her family and for my wife, granddaughters and I. The following was the more of the same except everyone was going the wrong way in the circle.

I'll keep it simple. Don't camp here if you don't have an ATV or dirt bike and don't like listening to the sound of engines revving all evening and early in the morning. Very rude, noisy, and inconsiderate neighbors during our stay. However, I will say the beach is beautiful and the campground is located not too far from Tillamook and Pacific City.

This was our second time here! SUCH A BLAST! We make this our annual stop every August! The weather is perfect, crowds aren’t too crazy during the week, and the campground is super easy to explore with all size vehicles. The walking beach is perfect distance to visit for the day, too. The campground host was very nice and fun to chit chat with. We can’t wait for 2022!!!!!

First time at that park. Didn't realize it was a dune park....pretty noisy but to be expected. Showers and hand soap in restrooms would have been nice. Overall, clean level sites with table and firepit. Nice trees separate sites.
