      Great location

      Great location as it is across the street from the beach. It is as simple as the other two next to it and half the price! Bathrooms are clean and showers are decent. Nice helpful camp host.

      Not a place

      I dove thru. Told not welcome. 2+ year wait list to live there. Asked if I could just pay to park somewhere safely in there as a single woman, in her 40's, just to stay in my car and watch TV on my own cell service in my car? I was told no. I told them I didn't want to live there tonight, I was looking into rv living and feeling out what the lifestyle is about. Currently just a "leave no trace overnight sleep".

      Nope.

      Met a couple residents and park attendant/host and this is NOT A PLACE TO STAY.

      Looks like some kind of laundry area and possibly 1 shower stall. CHeesy (some kind of 1/4 height saloon town cutouts) hostile, rude, unfriendly, and discriminating. Best to move straight past it.

      Tillamook State Forest Dispersed Camping

      Unreal Experience

      Tillamook Forest has so many amazing dispersed camping opportunities! We turned onto Ben Smith road and then took logging trails up the peaks. We found a perfect spot that looked like we were on the edge of a cliff but was actually still very safe for our toddler. No cell service, so we just unplugged for 3 nights and enjoyed the time together. We could see the northern lights the first night we were there, and it was absolutely incredible. We had a lot of privacy. One hunter walked by, I assume he was using the nearby trail. We heard some ATVs over the days, but it wasn't disruptive. Totally recommend it, and we'll definitely be back.

      VERY close to neighbors

      I believed I had my lighting situation under control, not bright and off at an appropriate time, but when I woke up the next morning, my neighbor said I had offended the stars with my toxic and harsh LEDs. Can’t win em all 🤷‍♂️

      Fun spot for impromptu camping trip!

      My husband and I decided we wanted to camp at the coast this weekend and every other camp site and state park was full, so we stumbled upon this place! It was easy to find following the directions on this site. Like other reviews mentioned, there are cars that drive by since it is a forest road, but we didn’t notice too much of a disturbance from them. It was pretty secluded. We stayed at the intersection campsite, and it was great! There was trash from previous campers, but we cleaned it up before we left!

      Space was overbooked

      Jim did a great job of communicating and was attentive to all the campers, but they ended up overbooked so we were moved away from the river and into an open field. With no hookups and lacking riverfront, the night seemed over-priced. With van life on site and a full campground, it didn’t have the quiet feel we expected.

      WIll not come back

      Web site claims "Drinking Water" is available. However, the water coming out of the tap was brown, probably full of rust and minerals. The host told us not to drink the water, only use for toilet flushing and maybe shower. The county claims it is safe, I don't believe them.

      Cape Lookout State Park Campground

      Very uneven experience depending on loop

      We have visited this campground twice over the years, the most recent as part of roadtrip back from Yosemite.  The quality of the experience really has to do with what loop you camp in.  If you look at the website for the park there is a notice that they are getting ready to do construction and it appears many of the issues will be fixed.

      Right now, I'd strongly recommend camping in the upper part of the "A", "B" or "C" loops.  The lower parts of "A" and "B" are pretty exposed with just dune grass/bushes for protection.  The bathrooms in those loops are also in the best shape.  The "D" loop needs a lot of work.  The bathroom is very mildewed and just bearable.

      Aquila Vista Education Area - TEMPORARILY CLOSED

      The Aquila Vista Education Area being temporarily closed is a significant inconvenience for students and educators relying on its resources. This closure might disrupt learning schedules and limit access to valuable educational materials. During this period, it's essential to seek alternative resources to continue academic progress. For those studying topics such as Alzheimer's disease, accessing well-researched examples and papers, like those available at https://papersowl.com/examples/alzheimers-disease/, can provide valuable insights and support in maintaining the quality of education despite the temporary setbacks.

      Could’ve been so good 🥲

      This area was easy to get to with Apple Maps which was great, however there was only one open site - after settling in it became clear that the other sites were more permanent setups….. there were cars coming and going all night, one in the dark going easily 50mph almost hit us. Would not recommend in its current state for people looking for calm camping.

      Great when all the state parks are full(all summer)

      A great small site to visit when you can’t get in at Cape Lookout. Campground is small which is nice since there isn’t much separation between tent sites. The location is great for paddling around Sand Lake though you’ll have to go a bit to access the ocean. Tillamook county knows what they’ve got and they will charge for each vehicle and each tent on the ground.

      Great if you can snag a spot

      Looks like there are 2 pull off spots here. One was taken by another camper, and I was grateful to snag the second one. Stayed here for 2 nights. It is off a gravel road, but it's not that busy. Pretty view and relatively secluded. Would stay again. The 2ish mile drive up the gravel road to get here was easy enough.

      Nice (except solar/starlink)

      Pretty busy spot - even early on a weekday. I found a pretty pulloff area, but quickly realized it's no good if you rely on cell service, solar and/or starlink due to the tree coverage. Ended up staying for one night. I would recommend if you're looking for somewhere to come and disconnect from the world. Just not over holidays or weekends.
