The sites are very close, some only separated by a small wooden fence with clear visibility of your neighbors. If you're lucky enough to have decent neighbors, this may not be an issue. If you're interested in visiting the dunes, I highly recommend Torex. They're nearby and super professional about the entire experience. Florence is always fun to visit, and if you're traveling north on the 101 the next several towns are just as cool.

The sink in the men's bathroom was out of order. The water spigot nearest our camp site did not work. Site 13. Otherwise everything was good. Neat and clean. Nice hike to the beach.

The camp host was amazing and personable. Men’s room faucet was broken. Wish the campground sold firewood and would consider putting in a small boat ramp for putting in/taking out kayaks and paddle boards.

Love this site! Only about a .75 walk through beautiful forest to the deserted beach where elephant seals were lounging around. It's unfortunate that OHVs sometimes make a lot of noise. Honestly, they should be banned outright from all public land. But otherwise, this is a perfect camping spot, especially if you choose your site wisely. The proximity to Florence is another plus.

Lovely campground. It’s usually fairly quiet because there are no ATVs or RV hookups here.

Our camp host was the best ever! We’ve been coming to this campground for family reunions for over 60 years (now 4th generation)
