Many of the campsites are very spacious and secluded. The availability late on a summer afternoon was terrific, the location is great, and the dunes are interesting and accessible. The drawbacks are (1) the sound of ATVs into the summer evening, (2) homeless guy dumpster diving in the campground dumpsters, (3) some fairly noisy and some slightly skeevy campers (although it was quiet overnight), and (4) very annoyingly, the inability to pay on site and requirement to book online and pay the reservation fee (turns a $22 campsite into a $30 campsite). There was a nice camp host, but they were unable to take payment or even tell me what sites were available. Internet connection wasn't robust, so it was a real pain to reserve online, in addition to the extra expense.

It's clean, it's maintained and it's my fault for not checking the amenities. For $22 a night I would rather stay at a campsite with showers, that's close to the beach and has soap and hot water. I can see why people like staying here because hardly anyone was there, the sites are very private and its right by the dunes trail but for us with a 11 month old it wasn't the right fit. We stayed at other campgrounds for $23 a night with hot showers, hand soap and right on the beach. I think this campground should be less per night. Specially since the camp hosts were volunteers. So not bad but not our favorite.

This was our 3rd or 4th time here, always off season or mid-week so not crowded at all. Host very attentive. Quick trip back to Coos Bay if you want to eat out or sight see. Training for a marathon? These dunes will give you a work out.

The campground was very quiet and we enjoyed the hike through the dunes towards the ocean. Did not see the host while we stayed for two days. The men's bathroom was closed and women's could have used cleaning.
