Tahkenitch Campground

It was nice enough, however, I reserved a spot for one vehicle and one pop up trailer. After I had my site set up the park ranger came by the next day and said I had to move my trailer onto the parking spot and would have to pay extra to park in the day parking area. That was not posted anywhere at the site nor on the website when I made the reservation which specifically said the spot was for one trailer AND one vehicle.

Someone was in our campsite and we were told that the sites had all been overbooked because of an issue on recreation.gov. We weren’t able to get a spot in the campground so had to camp in the trailhead parking lot because it was past 10pm and there was no service to call other campgrounds.

Very disappointed with this campground. We reserved a spot for a 12 ft trailer and truck, we were able to reserve site #30 so we assumed it would be able to accommodate our equipment. Upon arrival of our site it could only accommodate a compact car so we had to park the truck and trailer by the restrooms on the grass. Later that night the camp host "Gypsy" told us we would need to move immediately. There was no where for us to move to so we ended up leaving the truck and trailer parked on the grass by the restrooms. We left the following morning at 5am and didn't stay the next night even though we had it for 2 nights.

Cramped campsites with zero privacy. Left the campground immediately when I spotted my campsite. The surrounding activities are excellent, but unless you’re in the mood for a non-private group experience this is not the place for you.

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.

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.

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.

Great Spot !! Close to flushers and trash can. Great place to start your hike !!

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

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.
