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

I will camp here again. The campground was not very clean and the camp hosts were lazy. I had to call them to pickup dog crap on our campsite. But it is a beautiful location. 😊.

These idiots moved in across the street from us. Right out of the gate they get there truck stuck in the sand adjacent to there driveway, where they're not supposed to be. They ran there generator 24/7. They let there dog terrorize the whole camp area. If your looking for a place to camp where the people around you respect there neighbors, Sand beach is not the place to camp!
