I went to multiple campsites on the Oregon coast and they all seemed to be good. Just don’t forget to bring your own soap for the restrooms if you are into that sort of thing.

Lovely, clean, quiet campground and each site has a bit of privacy from their neighbors, while also creating a sense of community with your fellow campers. PLEASE drive slowly. An otter was hit by vehicle traffic right outside the campground during our visit. The campground is adjacent to a beautiful wetland thriving with wildlife, from birds like osprey and kingfishers to animals like otters. People kayak the serene water & it was very disheartening to see the otter. The ocean is a short drive or bike ride away and you can hear the constant hum of the ocean waves from the campground. During hot interior weather, this region is a sanctuary and stays cool and shady. The nearby OHV was also a constant hum of noise, which was the one negative about the stay at this camp.

We enjoy Waxmyrtle for the benefit of camping right next to a river - the Siltcoos - and enjoying floating either direction.

The camp host was friendly and welcoming. The campground is clean and sites are private, which I enjoyed. The only problem I had was a group of noisy campers who partied until 1:00am, even though rules say to be quiet at 10pm. I would have appreciated the host asking them to quiet down.

This particular site (#41) is like a ramp. No chance to sleep there. Had to rebook.

Wax Myrtle Campground is beautiful and ideally situated along the Siltcoos River. The hike to the ocean is superb and is thoroughly enjoyable. However, the OHV noise level is intolerable even though the OHVs are not allowed on the side of the Siltcoos River where the campground is located. Some signs state that the max db is 93, and most OHVs considerably exceed this number. We have stayed in this campground numerous times, and the OHV noise is always an issue, but it was really annoying this last time.
