What Guests Are Saying

Tyee Campground offers great access to the Siltcoos River, making it ideal for kayaking and enjoying the nearby dunes. Many visitors appreciate the campground's quiet atmosphere and well-maintained sites, though some have encountered issues with noise from the highway and unkempt conditions. While a camp host would enhance the experience, the natural beauty and recreational opportunities keep some campers returning despite the challenges.

Hit or miss I guess. We got bad neighbors who blasted music through the night and was dangerously intoxicated. No camp host to moderate. The water was shut off so no water. Camp site had some trash around when we got there. Booked the spot for two days and canceled the second night. Got lucky and stayed at the state park across the way. I probably won't ever go back but you might like it?

Tyee is great for launching kayaks to paddle the Siltcoos river there. Otherwise it's pretty minimal for a campground. Bring your own water.

I am typically not one to write a bad review but we did have some issues at this campground. When we arrived there was a man with a fire in our campsite. We told him that we had reservations and he told us his friend had left without him and he asked us for some camp thing. There was no host so we called the number for Recreation.gov to get another site. All were booked and they told us we could call the sheriff, we were not going to do that. Luckily he finally left. As we walked around there was toilet paper scraps at several of the sites and behind the toilets where people had decided not to use vaulted toilets. There are only two toilets and during the weekend we had to wait to use them and they ran out of toilet paper. Under our site description it mentions there is potable water, but there is no running water at this campground. Also, the sites are all very close to highway 101 so you can hear the traffic noise day and night. The best part was the proximity to the river which was a great place to Kayak and SUP.
