Avoid campsite 22 at all cost. It is extremely small, and it is on the way to campsite 21. Thus, there is no privacy. There is also road noise from 101. The campground is also crowded and cramped.

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.

There is a lot to do AROUND this campground (including a great dunes hike loop that starts at the parking lot, tahkenitch lake across the highway). The campground itself? Very small, largely uneven sites with tent site VERY close to the fire ring, no general open area except for heavily used day use area outside of the campground. Clean, but small. And RIGHT on highway with abundant road noise. Trees provide some privacy at some sites. Bathrooms were clean, but only 1 of two stalls was in order. Biggest problem was that there was apparently double booking of our site (host was expecting someone else - but they never showed). Not sure but seems like this is a Recreation.gov problem that should be solved/addressed. Overall? Good safe place to pitch a tent in a pinch and we had a good time in the area but I would not choose this campground again.

Very nice campground, just be aware that many of the sites that say they can fit a trailer cannot. If you are pulling a camper, you may want to check ahead to make sure there is actually room for it to fit…. Also, love how there is hiking trails to the beach right there and it is close to the lake

Pretty spot, but loud hwy noise. Lots of confusion between Tahkenitch and Tahkenitch Landing campground from nearly everyone who pulled in. Bathrooms not working but men's unlocked and costs the same. One vault toilet for entire campground.

My wife and I enjoyed the campground. It is pretty tight. The road is Okay but most of the sites are built to accommodate tenting, class C vehicles or small trailers. We were in space 07 with our trailer and pickup with an overall length of about 38 ft. I don't think any of the sites or the road would be suitable for any but the smallest class A's. There is good water and lots of shade!
The fire pits are unusually tall metal things, around 2 ft. high, that block most of the heat if you want to sit around the fire, Weird for enjoying a nice campfire.
There are a couple trails over the sand dunes to the ocean. The lakes in the area are beautiful and nice for canoes or kayaks.

The bathrooms were locked, the table at our site was rotted and not use able. No host on site. I will never stay there again.

There is no host at this campground this year. Which explains why there was litter all over the park, including in my campsite. Also explains why noise regulations seem to be out the window. I like the coastal parks and usually they are clean and quiet. Not this time.

Loved this woodsy place. Campsites are space well. There's a couple close ones but for the most part there was a great selection
