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 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 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.

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.

Please add that this campground is next to a very LOUD road and the noise is terrible. I couldn't even talk to my partner because the noise was so loud and non stop until late in the evening. I will never camp here again due to the noise. Then the woman's bathroom was down to one toilet, and the next day closed for the entire day. It was terrible for all women.

The campground was well-maintained and had all of the necessary amenities. The campground host was friendly and informative. The location on the highway was convenient for driving to nearby hikes and destinations.
The sites were somewhat small. I was in site 19, which only had slope road pitch my tent upon. While that isn’t an issue for backcountry camping, I expected a more level surface in an organized campground. I also felt that the fire pits were much deeper than I would have wanted them to be (I enjoy watching my fire, the pit was too high for me to do that).

Park was clean and well maintained. Camp host was very helpful. Only reason I didn't give five stars was the toilet in the mens restroom wouldn't flush.

As others have said, road noise is present on the campsite, but the sites have nice facilities and mostly clean. Men's bathroom was also closed

I really like this campground for its unusual campsites. There are steps that lead to in the woods campsites. The noise from 101 is a turn off, but the 7 mi hike trail is the reason to go. Combination of ocean, woods, lake and dunes; what more could you ask for?

This campground is centrally located in between Florence and Coos Bay. It is situated in a grove of fir trees which makes it a bit dark for my taste. Unique parking situation is not too bad. You share parking with 3 other campers and walk to your camp site. Mostly private with shrubs in between each site.
