Waxmyrtle Campground

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

Always have a great time at Waxmyrtle The scenery is beautiful along the waterways and you're also close to Other activities

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.
