The only bad thing was having to leave. Everything was great. The camp hosts Aaron and Kari were super friendly and very informative. Beautiful location if you aren't riding on the dunes soooo quiet.My family and I will definitely go back.

Good, small campground with clean restrooms. Best part was the dunes hike trail (5-mile round trip) to the ocean shore!

Very nice private sites. Even a few with some sun (which can be a Great Thing on the Oregon Coast).

Excellent camp spot. There was a bear roaming, which if the camp host would have went around and told everyone, we would have brought our food bin in.

We were really disappointed in our stay here. There was something poured all over the ground near the picnic table and our dogs ate it and got really sick. We tried to scrape it up and keep them away as best we could. This should have been cleaned up from the camp host prior to our arrival.
Also the men’s washrooms were absolutely disgusting with feces all over the floor and it stunk like a portapotty. You could smell it from the outside.
The only reason for not giving a 1 star is how easily accessible the dunes were for a walk and stargazing but we definitely won’t return. It’s priced very high for what you get. No showers, no hook ups & bathrooms that were disgusting.

Bathrooms were dirty and lacked toilet paper. Some sites were overloaded with extra people and cars.

I camped here 60 years ago as a kid. Still a good quick place to stay when traveling.

The camp ground has fun sites with natural structures/barriers from the shrubs and plants. It was quiet (minus the RV generator that ran constantly) and it was great to be near the dunes and the John Dellenback trail. I would recommend for for folks that aren’t looking for something too remote.
