Campground was nice and clean. Camp host was inviting and stayed out of the way. Bathrooms were clean. The weather was great too!

This campsite is beautiful, and with all the bushes, you're blocked off from other campers. However, the spots are tiny, and at least for the one I was in, it definitely could not hold the 8 people it advertised without it being way too tight.

A nice park in the Oregon Dunes area. Lots of space between sites and there was even enough internet via Verizon to book a spot while in the campground!

Beautiful campground, tucked away in the trees. The campsites are nicely arranged for privacy; some are closer together for groups, but most are more private. The 20 minute walk to the beach is easy and pleasant.

1st night was a filled with noise and chaos from next site over. They were disrespectful and rude. Reporting it to the camp host was not helpful. He remarked he had heard noise & witnessed a loose dog. He stated he couldn't do much to alleviate the problem. Our only option was to change spots and pay more money or leave.
