We were in 6, very nice site, private with access to the river. Kayaking was good. Went to the ocean, the wind was a bummer but we made it. We'll be back, like this campground a lot.

We have always loved coming to this campground. It has always been well maintained with very clean campsites and bathrooms. However, this year every time we have come (3-4) the camp hosts have not been visible, have a huge dog who barks and is very unfriendly, the campsites have been trashy, the bathrooms are pretty scary with big clusters of spider webs, and no one even checked to see if we were in the correct camp site. In the past the campsite has always been marked with a reserve sign and the camp hosts have come by to see if we needed anything. What is happening to our campgrounds? At the very least the camp host should be visitor friendly and approachable and available.

Place was packed. Too many tents and vehicles per site. Bathrooms could use some attention/cleaning

1st night was a filled with noise and chaos from next site over. They were disrespectful and rude. Reporting it to the camp host was not helpful. He remarked he had heard noise & witnessed a loose dog. He stated he couldn't do much to alleviate the problem. Our only option was to change spots and pay more money or leave.

The Siltcoos river is a great place for birding.

Beautiful campground, tucked away in the trees. The campsites are nicely arranged for privacy; some are closer together for groups, but most are more private. The 20 minute walk to the beach is easy and pleasant.

A nice park in the Oregon Dunes area. Lots of space between sites and there was even enough internet via Verizon to book a spot while in the campground!

This campsite is beautiful, and with all the bushes, you're blocked off from other campers. However, the spots are tiny, and at least for the one I was in, it definitely could not hold the 8 people it advertised without it being way too tight.
