Nice enough sites next to the creek. The backin spaces accommodated our 18foot trailer and were fairly level. Pull up space along the road left the rig out in the roadway. A slide would have been out in traffic. It was fine for a rainy weekday stay not in high season. The downside is the traffic noise from highway 101 adjacent to the campground. It quieted at night. Ok in trailer but would be very annoying in a tent.

This is definitely close to the road, but also has really excellent access to the Siltcoos River, which allows paddling to the ocean in a really wonderful trip. Bathrooms are vault toilets that are kept pretty clean. Camp host was friendly and helpful. If your main goal is water access, this place is great!

The campground was beautiful but that’s the only good thing I can say about our experience.
When we arrived, our site was littered with trash… as was the fire pit… and it’s clear that no maintenance has been done to tent pad sites. It took a lot of prep to get it ready for our tent.
We stayed a total of 3 miserable nights listening to extreme Highway 101 traffic noises (since the campground is right next to the road and it sits about 10 ft below it as well which amplifies the reverberation from people driving on the rumble strips) and that alone would’ve been tolerable had we not had to buy earplugs after the first night in an attempt just to drown out the drunken partying/yelling/fighting from the camp hosts and their friends (or who ever was using the host site) that would go on until at least 3am each night.
The toilet paper had run out in both bathrooms and was not replenished by the time we left. And the bathrooms were so stinky I would have to drive my daughters to the neighboring state park in order to use the restroom.
This place would be great if not for laziness and neglect. I’m completely appalled at the lack of consideration from the hosts for other campers and we will never be recommending this place to anyone

I love the camp ground. We have spent years comping there. With no camp host this year wasn’t pleasant. Forestry staff were nice but the campground was full and both bathrooms were always out of tp. I rented 4 camp sites. This is the first year I’ve been disappointed
