Place was packed. Too many tents and vehicles per site. Bathrooms could use some attention/cleaning

We have always loved coming to this campground. It has always been well maintained with very clean campsites and bathrooms. However, this year every time we have come (3-4) the camp hosts have not been visible, have a huge dog who barks and is very unfriendly, the campsites have been trashy, the bathrooms are pretty scary with big clusters of spider webs, and no one even checked to see if we were in the correct camp site. In the past the campsite has always been marked with a reserve sign and the camp hosts have come by to see if we needed anything. What is happening to our campgrounds? At the very least the camp host should be visitor friendly and approachable and available.

We were in 6, very nice site, private with access to the river. Kayaking was good. Went to the ocean, the wind was a bummer but we made it. We'll be back, like this campground a lot.

Wax Myrtle Campground is beautiful and ideally situated along the Siltcoos River. The hike to the ocean is superb and is thoroughly enjoyable. However, the OHV noise level is intolerable even though the OHVs are not allowed on the side of the Siltcoos River where the campground is located. Some signs state that the max db is 93, and most OHVs considerably exceed this number. We have stayed in this campground numerous times, and the OHV noise is always an issue, but it was really annoying this last time.

I loved this spot so much. Worked well for me and my boyfriend but could of fit even more people as well probably only 4 people max though. The bathrooms were clean and close by as well. This spot is also nice and shady!:)

This particular site (#41) is like a ramp. No chance to sleep there. Had to rebook.

The camp host was friendly and welcoming. The campground is clean and sites are private, which I enjoyed. The only problem I had was a group of noisy campers who partied until 1:00am, even though rules say to be quiet at 10pm. I would have appreciated the host asking them to quiet down.

This campground is located in close proximity to multiple lakes and wetlands. Due to this, there can be an abundance of mosquitoes between the months of April and August. Please be prepared for this. |

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. |
