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.

The site (#15) was great, right on the Siltcoos River. It was really by itself. The only negative was that there was no camp host, so we ended up buying wood elsewhere which was fine, especially considering it was 4th of July. Great campground and really close to many sand dunes and beaches. Plus, the river and lake.

The biggest negative, as other reviews have noted, is that the campground has lots of road noise due to being so close to a busy highway. The sites varied in size but most are somewhat smaller and closer to neighbors than typical but a few sites were more spacious. On the plus side the pit toilets we're serviced daily and we're fairly clean and the location was great for visiting the sand dunes south of Florence.

Very clean, quiet, family friendly campground. Right on a nice river for fishing. Close to town, Woahink Lake, and the beach.

Too close to the highway, and the campsites were very small and crammed together.

The camp host was no where to be found. It’s right off highway 101 and very loud. Bathrooms were clean when we arrived but not kept up. By the last day they were nasty.

The camp host Mark was one of the best ever at this campground. He kept the bathrooms clean and was very respectful of all guests. Thank you!

We booked online only to find people setup in our campsite and no host on duty. I reserved online to avoid that very problem so was very frustrated. It was actually a blessing in disguise, as this place was dirty and loud and clearly nobody is regulating the guests or making sure reservations are taken care of so we went looking for another spot even though I had already paid for this one. Carter Lake campground, just down the road, had an open site for us and a nice host on duty. If that wasn't the case we would have been very sad campers for my birthday trip to the coast. We were there to float the Silt Coos River Trail, under other circumstances Tyee would have been a great choice since it is actually on the trail but also very close to 101 which is busy and loud so, again, I am kind of glad it didn't work out for us there.

Small, quaint campground. Most sites have access to the river from the campsite. Not recommended for RV's as most sites are extremely small.....tent camping mostly. We will definitely be back my granddaughters loved it!

The bathrooms were not taken care of while there. Toilet paper in women’s room out for 2 days. Finally someone brought in a roll of their own. The volunteer camp host was marked as “Off Duty” the 4 full days we stayed. We still enjoyed it and had a great time. Very small, quiet campground.
