Have sand camped here for many years, always love this spot and what Siltcoos sand camping has to offer. Biggest complaint was the 3 contractor bags of garbage we removed from the bum camp at the site adjacent to ours. Hate the thought of these sites getting closed so just hoping this can be addressed somehow.

Absolutely awesome location right in front of a small body of water with only three other camps on that road. Must air down tires to drive street vehicles to camp sites.

Great time even though it poured one night. We always love our trips there and can't wait for our next. The dunes are our second home!

We booked a tent space and we’re stuck in the sand next to two huge Rvs. All of the neighbors were loud, drunk and using ATVs on areas where ATVs are banned. We ended up leaving and getting a hotel. Overall it was the worst camping experience I’ve ever had. I did not feel that it was a safe place for my children or dogs. There were no trash cans and the showers were pay to use.

Our GPS directed us to a near by children’s prison instead of the campsite at first.

The campsite is over a mile’s walk from the actual beach.

Another group that was there was flying confederate flags and other hate speech that I refuse to acknowledge, they made my gay teen afraid for her safety. The fact that a publicly owned campsite would allow treasonous symbols hate is disgusting. I will not be camping here again.

We stayed at spot 18 for three days. The location is quite a ways from the parking lot, and the access road to get to the flats is long with lots of whoops. Pulling an 18,000 pound fifth wheel on the sand required us two air down very very low. The camping location is secluded, but it still gets occasional atv traffic through the site. Unfortunately, there was a burn ban in effect while we stayed there so we could not have a campfire.
