Very nicely laid out campground, given the unique landscape of forest and sand. Each sight is a bit different and well though out. I checked out all the sights as most were empty. I have a small travel trailer and would have been comfortable with it in any of the sites. Potable water abounds, good restrooms and plenty of quality garbage dumpsters. You have to stop and check in with the camp host (signed) which I think is a plus.
All in all, a great little, quiet campground. I WILL be back. Thanks!

Very friendly host. A very short walk from the dunes. Lovely private campsite. We loved it.
Toilets were clean too.

Eel Creek is a nice campground right by the Oregon Dunes. The sites are nice size with reasonable privacy growth between the sites. There is a trail that leaves the campground and heads directly into the dunes. ATVs are not allowed to drive around the dune area near this campground. The only negative is that you hear the traffic from HWY 101. Luckily there is hardly any traffic at night.

Nice campground with flush toilets and water. Spots are spaced nice so your not right on top of your neighbor. Nice trail around the campground and out to the dunes.

Campsites are nicely set up and well isolated, although noisy campers nearby are still quite evident.

Spacious sites with privacy backed up against the sand dunes. About a 2-3 mile walk across the dunes to get to the ocean. This is a good place to explore the dunes without the motorized vehicles running around.
