Campsites should have approximately square footage available for setting up tents so you can determine how many folks each site can comfortably accommodate.

Plenty of space for our tents in site 46. We had 3 tents and could have fit 3 more. This is a great site for sure! The sand is also very comfortable for sleeping.

The camp host was very helpful in providing information about making areservation and moving my site. The sites are spaced apart well providing good privacy. The sites also vary in type. The access to the dunes is simple.

The campground itself was fair, but it was very close to the Oregon Dunes, which we really enjoyed.

Eel creek was a lovely campground and very close to the dunes. It was well kept and the spaces were nicely organized. There was even a pile of starter wood at each site to help get a fire going. The only suggestion I have is that in the bathroom (woman’s) there is no counter space to sit your toiletries on like a brush, toothpaste, etc. It had just a sink with a very small area around the faucet. There were also no hooks to hang anything on like a towel or washcloth. Putting in a counter area and some hooks for clothes or towels would be very appreciated. Thanks
