Waxmyrtle is a nice little campground. The site we had was quite private. The whole campground was quiet with the occasional exception of low level ohv noise. There's a beautiful little trail right next to the Siltcoos river, and other trails accessible without driving anywhere. Right across the 101 is another nice hiking trail. Also, less than a half mile up the access road is Lodgepole, a put in site for kayaks.

Clean campground, good facilities, and beautiful hikes nearby. We loved that there weren't ATVs allowed on this section of the beach, due to the snowy plover reserve that limits human impact. The Siltcoos Kayak rentals were wonderful and a fun way to spend a day. I considered rating this site low to avoid promoting more traffic to it, but I couldn't bring myself to lying about how great it is. Definitely a gem. However, not a great spot for dogs/dog owners as you can't walk them on the beach (due to snowy plover habitat). We don't have a dog, but if we did I would have been disappointed by that. Otherwise, what a wonderful spot!

Very pretty campsite. The trail to the beach (1 mi) was a pleasant hike. It is interesting that the only way to reserve and pay is online, but you have to drive to the beach to get a cell signal. The only complaint would be that I could hear the loud music from the OHV area to the North. At least it ended at bedtime.

Good stay at this campground site 43. We stayed in a 25’ class C. Backing in with a longer motorhome would be difficult, if so site 44 would be better. Nice grassy area between 43 and 44 - actually quite a large space. Good privacy from 38. Can barely hear RTV’s in the distance. Can hear ocean in the distance. Overall very quiet. Flush toilets and sink close by. No showers. AT&T one bar of signal. Good sky view for SkyLink. Got 250mbs down. Would definitely stay here again. About 15min to Florence.

We stayed here on a whim. Compared to the other campgrounds nearby this was the best. Bugs were way less than other places and you could barely hear the side by side traffic. Spots were large, clean, and private. Ours even had huckleberry bushes! Not all spots are level so choose wisely.
