I had booked a campsite online, upon arrival the site was occupied, I went to the CG Host and they said that there was nothing that they could do. They said I would have to call Rec.gov. They made no effort to help or to determine why there was someone on the site that I had booked. There was no wifi or cell coverage at the camp. When I found a place to call, there was a 25 minute hold time on the phone line to Rec.gov. It was now 8:00 pm and worried that I would have no place to stay, I ended up booking another site, that I knew was vacant, but I could not get a full refund on the original site, because, they said, I could have changed it online...

The site was almost not level enough for our Trailer. We needed three blocks on one side just to even things out. The camp host was unavailable when we arrived and there was still a party in our site after their checkout time of 1pm. The campground is one we like, but this was not our best trip.

The site where we put the trailer was site 41. One side was 6" lower than the other. Glad I had some 2× 4 to level it out. The picnic table had big holes from dry rot. The camp host was really nice and we were able to pick a bunch of Huckleberies.

The space needs to be leveled a bit, as the blacktop is narrow and rumpled up and hard to level. The view is great. The space is small but worked fine for me. There weren't as many dogs running loose as times past, and was a bit quieter this trip.

Even though technically there is no camp host, except to clean the bathrooms, the campground is well maintained.
A great place to camp, kayak the Siltcoos river and hike to the beach.

Campground was clean, quiet, and had great access. I would definitely come back or keep this high on the list for return trips to the coast.

Don’t book spot 39 unless you're going to book spot 51, they are only separated by a tiny fence so you are right with your neighbors. The spots are very close together would not recommend if you go camping to get away from people. The bathroom was clean tho!

The trees were lovely. The air was so humid that occasional drops of water landed on my face most of the weekend; I rather liked it. We took the trail to the beach from the campground and it was beautiful the entire way. My time was wasted trying to choose a site based on the map of the campsite layout because the actual layout was extremely different than presented online, but luck was on our side. There was loud partying going on on the opposite side of the campground and it didn’t affect us. The privacy provided by the trees was wonderful, but our quiet neighbors were right next to our site.
