Wonderful campground, nice large private sites, quiet campers. A super location near but not on the beach. About a 3/4 mile walk to a very quiet beach, or you can drive a short distance to the parking lot and walk over the dunes.

Most sites are good for RV's but #16 has a lot of green space for tents as do some others. Only the first 1-10 ish sites are close to water. We thought it would be a good spot to put in kayaks, but not so much. It was still a great time and we really enjoyed going to the Sea Lion Caves and Heceta Lighthouse in lieu of boating. Be aware, #16 is next to the bathrooms, which are infrequently visited because I guess RV folks use their own, but there is a bright light on the back of the building all through the night. GREAT camp host! And the hike to the beach was beautiful, wish I had more time to hike up and down the beach (wet sand only!) Also, for some reason, the RV across from us ran an insanely loud generator ALL NIGHT. No other RV's did this and the OGV's were silent after 10pm so they didn't bother us at all.

Cell phone service not very good, so if you are on site and are trying to make a reservation it is best to call the number on the sign. All of the volunteers were great and very helpful. Will be back again.

Even though there are no water or electric hookups at each site, this is a very good camping experience. Close to the beach and river with plenty of trails to walk. I would camp here again.

It was well maintained. We had plenty of space and pretty good privacy (at most of the sites we looked at). Easy to find. The site map on rec.gov needs to be updated, the restroom locations are misleading. The camp host and wildlife volunteer were very nice.

Lovely campground, lots of trees and privacy between campsites! Access to dunes not too far!

It's a beautiful location, great for kayaking on the Siltcoos River and close to beautiful beaches on the Pacific Coast. Sites are private, surrounded by bushes. The hike to the ocean is really nice. Didn't give 5 stars because you can hear the ATV's in the near dunes during the day....
