Summary

Tyee Campground offers a charming location along the Siltcoos River, making it ideal for kayaking with easy access to the lake and dunes. The campground is clean, well-kept, and quiet, providing a nice atmosphere for campers. However, some visitors noted issues such as proximity to Highway 101, limited bathroom facilities, and occasional noise from other campers. Overall, it's a great spot for those seeking a riverside camping experience.

No water even though the site says there is water available. Had to boil nasty algae water to wash dishes. Barf! This site is RIGHT next to the freeway. I could not sleep at all from all the cars and trucks driving by constantly! What a nightmare. Couldn’t even hear my music or fellow campers talking. Had to yell over the traffic. We had site 12 right next to the vault toilets which stank so bad. The picnic table was right up against some trees so you couldn’t even sit on one side. Someone kept smoking in the bathroom even though there are kids going in and out of there. There is also no host on site. I will never come back here again.

Beautiful river to kayak. It needs a kayak launch on upstream side like the downstream side of the dam. I couldn't exit my kayak while floating. Also the bathroom is way more smelly than other vault toilets. Perhaps the vent is clogged. Will definitely return as the kayaking (that I could access) is beautiful.
