Generally quiet and under-used. Great dune access. The camp hosts are truly the best out there! I've been before and will be back.

Eel Creek Campground is praised for its beautiful setting, with a unique blend of forest and sand dunes, offering spacious, private campsites and well-maintained facilities. The camp host, Rick, is frequently highlighted for his helpfulness and friendliness, contributing significantly to guests' positive experiences. While some visitors noted minor issues like bathroom distance and noise from garbage collection, the overall sentiment is one of enjoyment and appreciation for the campground's peaceful atmosphere and access to nature.

Eel Creek campground is a very nice place to camp. Most sites are private with vegetation between each. A great place to experience the open vastness of the Oregon dunes with out ATVs. Eel Lake is a few miles up the road for water fun and Winchester Bay 15 minutes north for beach walking.

Bathrooms were closed except you still get charged full price for camping. Also, no recycling area. Pretty ironic.

Normally I have a perfectly wonderful time here. However, this time, some homeless folks were living in the spot I had reserved, and for many hours I was unable to find a park host to help. I called the Customer Service Center, had to wait over 20 minutes on hold, and a very nice customer support agent tried to help me change spots. However, data is sketchy out there and we lost connection.
I assumed no camp host was available at all, and did not want to drive home in the dark rain (I love 2.5 hours away from Ell Creek, so I nervously set up camp in another spot, hoping I wouldn't be booted out since the change of reservation hadn't completed as far as I am aware.
The camp hosts finally came by around dark. They were very understanding, and let me stay in the other site although I wasn't actually able to change the reservation.

It's a beautiful, clean campsite. Most spaces are surrounded by bushes that offer some privacy.
