This campsite is very small which we knew ahead of time but it rained constantly and a huge puddle ran underneath our canopy so we didn’t have a dry place to go.
Plus the inconsiderate RV people across from us who didn’t want to smoke in their RV smoked on the road so we couldn’t avoid smelling them every 10 minutes and if they weren’t smoking they were running their generator that smelled like exhaust and made its us super dizzy and sick.
You probably won’t have neighbors like that but you won’t be able to avoid your neighbors in a site this small is the point of the story.
Because there were no fires allowed we were able to set up a four person tent and a two person tent plus our 10 x 10 canopy to give you an idea of the size.
Don’t recommend if it’s raining if your tent camping, but if you car camp it’s fine.
Parking fit our standard minivan, but wouldn’t fit anything bigger.

It was an excellent weekend. The tent area on the roof is suitable for two tents (3-4 people) and offers good privacy.

Beautiful and clean campground, lovely host. I just wished there was a dish washing area nearer to loop D/E/F. Difficult to tent camp otherwise. We had to carry our dirty dishes home. Also, the washrooms seemed always full and weren't the cleanest.
Also this campsite is really small, compared to the neighboring ones. The highway noise can be startling at night.

Wonderful location! You can walk to several beach entrances and hear the waves from the campsites! Some campsites have beach views, which would be awesome. We saw sea otters and banana slugs - so cool. Plan ahead for it to be windy and cold though! Also, since it is such a beautiful campsite, it is super busy. Campsites are close together and there were several camping groups there that were loud past midnight. Still highly recommend due to the amazing nature views.

Cancellation policy
- Reservation fees are non-refundable. For campsites, cabins, lookouts, yurts, group sites, and similar stays, we charge a reservation service fee of $8.
- Standard cancellations usually have a $10 cancellation fee. Customers can generally cancel before the check-in date online.
- Late cancellation rules differ by stay type.
- Individual campsites: cancelling after 12:00am local time the day before arrival usually means a $10 cancellation fee plus forfeiting the first night's fee.
- Cabins, lookouts, and yurts: cancelling less than 14 days before arrival usually means a $10 cancellation fee plus forfeiting the first night's fee.
- One-night reservations: a late cancellation usually forfeits the full amount paid, up to the total original reservation cost.
- Modifications are allowed before the cut-off window, but fees depend on the change. Changing to dates completely outside the original reservation dates may trigger a $10 change fee. Extending or shortening a stay that still includes original dates usually has no change fee, though refunds may depend on timing and facility rules. Switching to the same type of campsite for the same dates usually has no change fee, but price differences are charged or refunded.
- Early departures may or may not be refunded. At certain facilities, partial refunds may be possible if staff can mark the site available for other visitors. No refund is given for a night if the early departure is requested after that day's check-out time.
