Tyee Campground - Oregon Dunes

There are two Tyee campgrounds. One is on the Umpqua 11 mi 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 mi 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

The toilets were awful. Lovely location 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!

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.
