Clean and well maintained. Due to proximity to Hwy 101 there is quite a bit of road noise on the weekend, a bit better during the week.

Tahkenitch Campground provides a peaceful and private camping experience, set amidst beautiful old-growth Sitka spruce with ample shade and birdlife. The campground is clean, with flush toilets and running water, and offers convenient access to hiking trails and nearby stores. However, the noise from Highway 101 can be disruptive, and some visitors noted issues with overflowing trash and a lack of camp hosts for maintenance.

The camp host keeps the bathrooms and area spotless. There’s no cell service and without my asking she offered use of her landline to assist us In changing our booking dates to get a refund. The host is exceptionally kind and helpful. The sites are very narrow and it’s tight squeeze to fit two 2 man tents. There’s only a small waist high hedge between some sites and other sites you walk straight through another campsite to access. The road is right next to the site and noisy during the day but quiet at night. The site is well located near the beach and we hiked the 6 mi Takhenitch Loop trail to access the beach through dunes and old growth trees. I’d definitely come here again.

The sites are packed in close together. I had to walk through another site to get to mine, and the two sites flowed into each other.

The campsite itself was very nice and the camp host was a very kind woman who was very helpful and communicative. Unfortunately an angry homeless man who appeared to be on drugs came to the campground and refused to leave, and even returned after having been removed by a sheriff. The camp host did a wonderful job of handling the situation, but the site didn't feel safe to stay at, so we ended up cutting our stay short. I'd absolutely suggest this site, but highly suggest scoping out the area first.

This was a quiet, beautiful, pleasant place to anchor as we explored the surrounding coastal areas. Host was very helpful when we arrived without reservations and assisted us in obtaining them. Would go back with no hesitation. One small drawback is that due to its proximity to Highway 1, road noise was noticeable

Chose this because it was only campground with space in the area. Used to more private sites at lagoon campground further north. We happened to rent two next to each other which was nice, if we hadn't done that the adjacent campsite would've been way too close. Lots of the sites seem to be in pairs. Last complaint is the highway is quite close. Other that that its a perfectly fine campground, good bathrooms, tables, fire rings, etc.

I have a 29’ fifth wheel and an overall length of 47 ft. Using rec.gov filters it looked like it would work and it did and was pretty easy to park. Nice smaller campground with a beautiful 2 mi trail to the beach.

Some sites looked very nice, our site was pretty tight with little privacy from the site next to us. A group a few sites away had two dogs that barked constantly. When we inquired about the camp host doing something about this she said one of the dogs would be moved to another site. The remaining dogs contained to bark constantly. The group would scream the dogs name in their attempt to get the dog to stop to no avail. When they weren’t screaming at the dog or the dog wasn’t barking we had to listen to their loud, screaming children. If the level of noise created by this group could have been turned down a few levels it would have made our stay more enjoyable. Camp host should have taken stronger actions with this group as it really made for a very unpleasant stay.
