Site had not been cleaned/maintained. Bathroom lacked T. paper at times. Bathroom cleaning done in early morning at busy time. Site posts had no info except "reservations reguired"

Their was garbage in the campsite that had been there for sometime. The toilet paper ran out frequently. The host was off duty our entire visit.

We had a great time. Only downside was this lady screaming at her unfriendly dog named Pickles the whole time. I also overheard someone report a theft to the camp host who said there have been a lot of thefts recently, so don’t leave anything out or unlocked that you’re not willing to lose if you leave the site.

I printed my reservation, put it on my dash and no one bothered me. After reading all the receipts and confirmations, I can't tell if that was what I was supposed to do, but it seemed to work out. Thanks Recreation.gov

This is a great campground right next to the Siltcoos. We stay in site 004. It is a large, level, and open site. Our designated parking spot was weird though, it backs up to site 003. It was great to wake up to the birds singing. Loved being able to get right into the water from our site. The Waxmyrtle trail down to the beach is very nice, it is all sand for about half a mile. We will definitely go back. The camp host was very friendly!

TOO SLOPED. The driveway for the campsite was too sloped to work for our RV.

Campground booking page at Recreation.gov does not have site photo. The picture on the campsitesphotos.com shows that the site 47 has grass covered patches near the table and behind the fire ring. In reality it was completely different. Looks like in preparation for the season the shrubs were cut using tracked machines. The thin grass cover was stripped away leaving muddy surface. As the result there was no place to put the tent. Fortunately I was able to swap the site to another one that did not suffer from "improvement" actions.
