We visit this campground annually. Dune access is amazing. There was no host this time. Forest service came by daily to clean/check bathrooms. Honestly, it was the cleanest I have ever seen it—great work FS!

Quiet, lots of space between sites. No host, but bathrooms were fairly clean even though there wasn't a host. Had a level pull through site, with awesome grocery store very close by in Lakeside. Second time visiting.

Loved that this site was near the dunes, so we were able to watch the sunset from there. Great spot if you have ATV/dirtbikes to ride on the dunes - HUGE parking spots. But, you can definitely hear them riding, so this is not your place for peace and quiet.

Great campsite. Our site was really private. The only complaint was the bathroom building was out of TP but I think that's just because there was no camp host that day.

Eel Creek Campground is a lovely spot to access the Dunes. This is a basic campground with water and flush toilets. Campsites have a fire ring and picnic table. Sites are pretty well spaced so you feel like you have some level of privacy. You're in the shade of the dunes, so it's not a spot to watch the sunset from your campsite.
