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 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.

Nice campground with close-ish access to the beach. Very short drive, not too long of a walk via the trail. Campsites are a little close together but not too much of an issue. Our site, 15, didn’t have the best spots to pitch a tent on but we made do. Bathrooms were clean and supplied and there’s water conveniently located nearby. Never had an interaction with the camp host and there’s no firewood or ice for sale so you have to go elsewhere for that. Other than a few minor things above it’s a great campground that was really quiet for July and enjoyable attractions nearby.

Nice campground overall, but every year the experience deteriorates slightly (been coming here for last 4 years). Bathroom lights don't work, more and more water spigots out of commission, recycling service discontinued. Still an overall pleasant camping experience.

Great sites with friendly host. Choose carefully as some are not level. Sites 2, 3 and 4 are back in wonderful sites. Especially #2

We had a great stay at Waxmrytle. The host , Wendy was very knowledgeable in local activity and pointed us to things to do and see. The bathrooms were clean and do were the grounds. A very nice stay

There is a 14-day in 30 rolling days camping limit on the Siuslaw National Forest. The 14 days does not have to be consecutive. The 14-day limit covers the entire Siuslaw National Forest and not just this campground as shown in the Rules Section. This means you cannot go to other campgrounds on the Siuslaw National Forest after reaching the 14-day limit. |
