We were just passing through for 1 night. the bathrooms were closed so there was a chemical toilet there. Other than that it was fine.

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.

Campsites were relatively private and access to the dunes was nice.. There was supposed to be potable water and flushing toilets but they were having water issues which it did state when I booked. However, the pit toilets were over flowing. It was very disgusting and unsanitary. I had been camping for free on BLM Land on my way to this area and it was way more sanitary digging a hole for bodily waste.

We were notified last minute of the lack of water, then we went with water. The porta potty's were constantly full and I never saw them pumped out. I know this was a temporary situation but more notice and the ability to prepare would have been better! Love the campground, loved the hosts!

Overall it was a fair camp ground for a last minute trip to get out of the heat. We were aware of the water situation and lack of flushable toilets when we went, however we were not prepared to have the Porto potties unusable due to being so full. Otherwise I would rate as good.

We came for one night to check out the dunes and escape the heat wave in Portland. Our site was not marked with our reservation, the campers who had been there were still there and were luckily "leaving a day early" and allowed us access to our site with no issue. Had they not been "leaving early" I'm not sure what we would have done. Unfortunately the site's bathroom facilities weren't working and there were port-a-pots which were too disgusting to use. So be prepared to either find a secluded space outside or a gas station.
This is a typical wooded campsite with parking at each site, a fire pit and a picnic table. Quite nice but really not much to do other than walk to the dunes, which are gorgeous and definitely worth seeing. I couldn't imagine staying for more than one night to be honest.
