Camp hosts were nice. We loved the lake. The site had a lot of broken glass and smelled like urine. Our campers next door partied until 2am with loud music and puking and urinating in the bushes next to our site. Also the garbage was very stinky. But husband said it was because of the fish. We liked the actual campgrounds.

Beautiful lake, warm enuf for swimming. Smaller campsites but well maintained and if you spend most of your time on or in the lake no worries. Mostly folks congenial. Next door neighbor had an aggressive poorly trained pit bull but she kept poor thing in car most of time.

Hosts superlative. One female, one male toilet not enuf for the numbers but was kept clean. Place is full up most weekends so during the week an extra pleasure. Open all year. Good bass lake, good kayaking. Short trip to Florence for supplies. Nice walk to ocean thru Tahkenitch campground , a quarter mile? to trailhead.

The camp hosts were great people who were genuinely happy to help and chat. The campground itself is very minimal. The roads are gravel (so no biking for our young kiddos) and the sites are very small, and sites 10-13 in particular are not very shaded or private. The other sites around the campground seemed to have a bit more privacy.

The smallest site I have ever seen. Way too small! The camp hosts were very friendly but there was a Ranger who actually made us move in tighter because we were over the line (invisible) into the next site. The site next door had one car and one pup tent. It was a ridiculous request but we moved our tent and had about a twelve inch wide aisle between tents. The campers on the other side of them ignored the request to put their campfire out. They were from out of state so they could care less if Oregon burns. We hope they got fined but we doubt anything happened at all.
We’re grateful we had some camping time in and it was a beautiful lake but we probably won’t be back

Great camping on the lake watching the fog, wind moving across the water, the little girl so excited about catching fish on the dock with her proud father standing by. There is no internet service so if you're coming in without an already made reservation you need to go up the road to higher ground to make your online reservation after checking out the sites. The computer reservation system is a pain that way, rather than just checking in with a campground host.
