Great campground! The CLEANEST restroom(outhouse) I have ever used in my life. My son dropped a toy on the floor in there and I didn’t bat an eye, it was that sanitary in there. The host was obv great. Pack out what ya pack in folks.

Picture of camp site was deceiving. It said max occupancy was 8 people and there was no way Site #6 can provide that room for tents. Camp sites are VERY close together other than that it was a nice place by the creek. oh and there is NOTHING i mean NOTHING around that area for market or gas and no phone signal. P.S. be careful driving on that road to the camp site, LOTS of pot holes and un even road.

Very nice site. Quiet and the river and waterfall were nice. We didn't know about this campsite or this area of the Nestucca before this but we will definitely return. Some of the site have tiny spots for a tent but that won't keep us from returning. Everything else makes it worth it.

This is one of my Top 5! The river was refreshing, the sun was bright, the bugs were minimal and this was the place to be for my Birthday. The Outpost is closed Mon and Tues. No service what so ever but Troy, the very helpful camp host, knows a place you can drive to for some. The river drowns out any road noise, which was minimal at best. There's a nice beach behind #8 & 9 everyone seems to share. No hookups or trash, so dry camping, pack in pack out. 2 vault toilets, I spray with air freshener before entry, makes it a little better. There is a paved walk and viewing/fishing pad on the river, unfortunately we missed fishing season by 10 days, woops. I bet the fishing is fabulous because we saw a bunch of babies and one adolescent jump. Oh AND a Bald Eagle flew the river the afternoon of my Birthday, so cool!!!!! Go here, you won't be disappointed!

Beautiful, small campground. Very clean and well maintained. I’ve stayed there a couple of times and will be back. Stayed in site 11 at the end. Very private space with a view of the waterfall!
I just wish there was trash service, but that’s a small issue.

Very nice small site. River and surrounding area is gorgeous. May come back for Salmon fishing. Most sites are more secluded than they appear to be on maps. Toilets don’t have sinks and weren’t stocked with TP, and firepit cooking grates are a bit high but good design.

Campsite #7 is very close to sites 5 and 6. Overall though, nice location with decent view of river. Did have difficulty finding a place to pitch a large tent, but managed it in the end.
