Waxmyrtle Campground

we have traveled cross country for the last 10 months and have stayed at free campgrounds that have been 100x nicer than this paid campground. (we stayed at site #22.)

cons:
•The picnic table was falling apart-half of the bench was missing with exposed screws/nails and sharp wood.
•Huge thistles under the picnic tables, no weed control.
•Only one section to place a tent, despite the site being labeled to hold two tents-the other place to put a tent had stumps of wood sticking out of the ground and a random clump of concrete.
•The bathrooms had no hand soap and were very unclean.
•When I approached the Camp Hosts, the sign was up that said "Off Duty", we never saw any Hosts during our two days there.
•Potable water came out looking yellow.

Concerning to think these sites cost as much as they do, but there’s no evidence of them being taken care of.

pros:
•The only campground in the area that said they allowed 2 vehicles without extra charge.
•Close to the Oregon Dunes Recreation Area, which is beautiful.

Loved how shady and private our site was compared to others at the campground - we had neighbors but couldn't really see them. Lots of shrubs and pretty large site. Located pretty equally from either restroom.

Great location. Site 15 is on the outer edge, so more private than many other sites, which were pretty open to each other. The 1 mi trail from the bridge, behind sites 1-15, and down to the beach is lovely. (Nearly full sand walking for the last half mile.) This CG seems to attract a range of types of campers, so it’s luck if the draw if you end up next to noisy or quiet neighbors. No ATVs in the CG, but sounds from the nearby ATV-accessible dunes, but not as bad as I expected, possibly because the surf is relatively loud.

Acess to river from campground.
Camp area is rustic. Host warned of recent thefts.

Camp sites were good. They were clean and laid out to provide some privacy. The bath rooms were very basic and were in need of an upgrade.

No camp host to be seen, all I see is someone collecting a paycheck and living for free at the beach. They were “off duty” the whole time. This lack of security invites people that most people wouldn’t want to share their vacation with. Dogs being allowed go attack dogs walking by, big groups of drunk and high kids who let their kids treat this place like a daycare.

Very tight for trailers of any normal length. This place should be a tent only location in my opinion for the size and the treatment that having a trailer grants you here

Great location, good mix of sites. However, lack of maintenance is showing. Only one restroom was open and it frequently ran out of TP and soap despite park hosts refilling every few hours. Site 9 has storm damage and has been out of commission for well over a year now. Many water spigots throughout CG are out of commission. Park hosts also didn't enforce quiet hours after 10pm and we had to endure loud music until the wee hours of the night. Recycling bins have been removed. Dumpster chronically overflowing and a mess. CG used to be great. Now merely good.

This site shows signs of neglect and needs repairs for parking pads and bathrooms. Of the two bathrooms on site, only one was available. There seemed to be little effort to account for the consequent heavy use resulting from that situation. Generators ran after hours with no camp supervision. It appears more money is allocated to the OHC Driftwood 2 site that to this one.

The facilities near our actual campsite were closed, but we had potable water and porta-potties. Other camp facilities appeared to be working. Spotty T-Moble 4G. I was told 5G was better. Rustic site with a variety of trees and brush. No extra parking. I had fun, it was close to the ocean and we rented Dune Buggies nearby.

Nice quiet wooded campground
