The host was asleep when we arrived at 5pm and no supervision. The place needs a good upkeep

Very nice secluded spot. Provided quite a bit of tree coverage for shade. Not a good spot if you want to make RV onboard solar. Unless you have a portable unit to move around and catch the rays. Campground was pretty empty. Had a great trip. Mosquitoes were very minor. Like always we will be back and try a different spot

I camped at Eel Creek for the tracking course run by Wilderness Awareness School and South Sound Nature School. I've been tracking at the Dunes many times and enjoyed my stay this time as well! I appreciate the privacy of the campsites.

This is a great place for hiking, wildlife tracking, and bird watching. Be careful of devil's stovepipes when walking around, though--two of our group stepped in one!

There was a broken down car in our campsite upon arrival. We attempted to find the camp host to sort out what to do but were unable to locate them. Seems like there’s a lot of questionable/sketchy activities going on. Great location but a little sketchy.

Love this low-traffic campground. Wrentits calling from the bushes surrounding the campsites - evergreen huckleberry, salal and rhododendrons. Great hikes of different types within walking or a short drive away. Firewood & showers at nearby Tugman State campground.

Magical campground, loaded with rough-skinned newts, and adjacent to phenomenal wildlife tracking on the Dunes.
