Tahkenitch Campground

Site 4 was large enough to accommodate 2 tents. Campground was clean. Traffic noise was expected as the camp site was right next to the road.

strangely, even though I had a reservation, another camper was in my place and said that they had been assigned that spot as well, luckily there were other spots. I had taken a photo of my reservation to show the volunteer camp Ranger because there is no Internet. It all worked out fine and the volunteer camp ranger was really nice about it so was the other couple. But there definitely was something wrong with the reservation system somehow you guys double booked the camping spot

Bathrooms were clean, still a lot of down trees and some maintenance on the grounds are needed but nothing out of the ordinary. The water from the faucet outlets were brown and rusty.

This campground is next to the highway and the back loop offers better protection from road noise. There is also no cell service to pick a site and reserve it, so if you think you may want to stop there, make a reservation in Florence or Reedsport before entering the campground, as there is reservation only camping. There was no camp host to ask questions this year. There is a field for playing. The far end of the campground does not have toilet facilities, as there is only one building that is closer to the entrance, so keep that in mind if you are tenting.

This campsite used to be great. Now the forest service has completely abandoned any sense of service to the public who own the land. They went to a online reservation system only which is very discriminatory towards people without internet or credit cards. Camping is supposed to be a low tech activity that you should be able to do spontaneously. I have been staying at this campground for over 10 years and this is the first time I could pay with cash or check. There is no service at the campsite which isn’t that big of deal unless you arrive there while traveling and want to pay for a campsite. There are plenty of cyclists who bike the 101 and would need to camp at this site but would have no way to pay. I understand allowing reservations but not having a way to drop in and pay for an open site is unacceptable. The online reservation system is also a scam. 2 nights in 2 sights was $104 when the advertised rate is $22 per night per site. They keep increasing prices and the campground is in worse condition than it was many years ago.

Reservation only, no cell service. NOISY due to how close it is to 101. The sites further back are not as bad, but still plenty loud from the road. One of the women's restroom stalls was just foul and the men's toilet seat needed to be replaced. Though supposedly a "tent only" campground, there were plenty of large camper trailers.

Shame its so close to the road, the trail to the dunes/coast was great and though some of the campsites need some renovation, it is nicely wooded for a coastal camping experience.

Lovely, well-kept campground with a nice lil hike next to it. 4 stars only because I really wish there was shower facility.

Showers available a 6 mi away at driftwood campground, mossy trees, and pine smell make tahkenitch a great choice.

We had just pulled in to stay one night but left knowing we want to go back and spend a few night!!! We loved how private each site was. We have a travel trailer and there are only a couple spots that will accommodate its size. Most spots are tent and camper sizes. The fire pit was the best we had ever seen. Sounds silly but it sure cooked up a good burger!!! Oh if you are needing your wifi or phone contact you won't want to stay here. NO SERVICE was wonderful!!!!! We can't wait plan our next visit!

This is a reserve only campground, which is great, UNLESS there is no host and homeless people are living in it. The people in the spot next to us reserved a spot at the campground and upon arrival, found people living in their reserved spot. Not only that, but the homeless people had their dog loose with no collar. The dog came into our camp and I had to chase it off. The homeless people stayed up until about 4 am each night banging doors, yelling at each other, using a chainsaw in different areas of the campground, etc. It was a horrible experience. Not only that, but the sheriff was called on them a few nights earlier and nothing was done about it. Not a safe feeling.
