This was our first time camping off the sand and we were very happy with the overall experience and how friendly all the other campers were. We have a little and there were others that did too and so they were able to play together in camp. It was a very nice time and my wife was much more relaxed than when we have camped out on the Playa.

If you don’t want to hear ATVs blowing out your eardrums from dawn to dusk, avoid this campsite at all costs. Terrible experience, left after night 1 of a 3 night reservation.

Party city. Very noisy. Don't camp here if you want to go to sleep before 3am. Even on a Thursday.

The campsite is conveniently right off the beach which is great for thru hiking and has space for multiple cars and tents, but unless you have amazing ear plugs you won’t get any sleep. ATV hours and quiet hours were not enforced and I finally heard things quiet down around 4am. Woof. But I bet it’s great if you’re looking for maximum ATV fun times (which is def what the park is designed for).

Park is clean, Camp Host on site and really great people, no hook ups but a great dry camping time. Plenty of restrooms on site, picnic table and fire pit....camp wood for sale near by. Only a 15 min drive to Pacific City and a bit farther to Netarts. No cell service or internet so plan ahead with those downloads if you want to chill inside.

Easy to find our spot, clean bathrooms, clean site. Nice view of the water at the fisherman's landing. Understand that this is an area with heavy ATV-use area! We knew that coming in (just to camp) and it will be noisy at times!

Quite a loud campground with lots of bikes and ATV's making noise after quiet time. Like always there were multiple people running their generators after midnight. If you are not for riding the dunes on ATV's or motor-bikes I don't recommend this campsite. Pretty sad this campground is ruined by this kind of people and their is no reinforcement.
