What Guests Are Saying

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.

Sites are very open, so not a lot of privacy, and the road is nearby so there is some noise. Overall, a nice little campground though.

We booked space 1 and I think that was the only reason we enjoyed this campground. The other spaces are wide open and close together whereas space 1 was all on its own surrounded by trees and private. There's a little staircase to the spot which make it look pretty cool but keep that in mind if you have anyone with mobility concerns. Only downfall to this space is there is no access to the river, we didn't care though because we didn't want to use the river anyways. Bathrooms are single person stall-type buildings with no lighting, no sink, no mirror. The highway is also very close so if you're hoping for peaceful sounds of nature you won't get much of it. Host was very nice!

There are two Tyee campgrounds. One is on the Umpqua 11 miles from Sutherlin. The other Tyee campground is on the coast. Rec.gov gave us directions to the Tyee campground on the Umpqua which is where we needed to be. Unfortunately, the reservation was at the coast which was 50 miles away. Needless to say, it made for a long night trying to get other last minute accommodations. Perhaps changing the name to Umpqua Tyee and Coast Tyee would eliminate this problem

Campsites are right next of each other, no privacy, and several sites share a common area which is great for large, loud group parties late into the night. Quiet time means nothing. Conveiniently close to town for beer runs. Suffice to say, we left early.

I absolutely would not recommend staying here. It doesn't offer any privacy and you're right next to a busy road. Worst of all, I booked online and my spot was somehow given to a person who booked over the phone. I wasn't even given a full refund.
