Tahkenitch Campground

We headed here when the campground we originally wanted was full. A fine place to sleep for the night but not the “beach camping” experience we were looking for.

I stayed in site 5 with my very small travel trailer. The campground is beautiful and very quiet and the bathroom was clean. There was a little road noise but this is right on hwy 101 and conveniently located close to florence and lakes and dunes and tons of fun

All the amenities were clean and functional, and the camp host was very nice!
Mosquitoes were worse than we expected and even though we called the Oregon Dunes National Recreation Area visitor center, the staff person there really had no idea how the mosquitoes were at the campground and said not to worry about them. She thought they would be minimal. That wasn't the case. It would be nice if there was a Facebook page for this campground, like other campgrounds have, alerting visitors to current conditions.

There was no camp host. When we arrived there were two men camped in our reserved spot. They were cooperative and packed up, but it could have gotten ugly. There was no toilet paper in the bathroom the next morning. The two stars are for Ranger Chessa, who was so helpful, listened to our scary story, and literally ran to get me toilet paper. The other star is for the trail to the ocean and through the forest, which never disappoints.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

Site barely fit a small tent
