Non-Reservable, Walk-in Tent Sites. Great Spot to Camp!

I really like this campground. First of all, it is an easy enough drive from Portland, about an hour or so. Secondly, you can't reserve sites which is perfect for those of us who never reserve sites and just show up hoping to find something. And because it is the 3rd campground along this road from Portland, seems likely that people may have checked out the other 2 first. All of the sites are walk in and super private. From the site we were in (K6) we could see no other campsites and could barely hear anyone else. Loved the cozy feel of our site.

The campground is on the beautiful Wilson River so we took our chairs down there and enjoyed the views and the sound of the water.

There is also a 6 mile trail (12 miles roundtrip) that leaves right from the campground and goes to Footbridge. We did most of it and it's nice and moderate.

The only negative is that it is close to highway 6 and you can hear the traffic. But at night when the traffic dies down you can hear the river.

Other notes: No wifi (at least with AT&T), close to Tillamook and the coast.
