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

Close to highway but absolutely doesn’t feel like it. My site had a good trail straight to the Oregon Dunes. Excellent camping.

We appreciate the energy that was put in to upgrade the campground, keeping it clean, with the restrooms all functioning. and water working. Firepits are great.
Thanks

Eel Creek Campground is in a beautiful location near the dunes, beach and Lakeside. It's clean and has lots of private sites surrounded by bushes and trees. The camp hosts are friendly and helpful.

Nice, clean campground. We got a space large enough for our 12'X12' tent. Clean restrooms, not too crowded. Other campers were quiet at night.
