TravelerLarge campground with tightly packed spots, but clean and quiet at night. Showers were nice and hot. Good access to trails and nice walk through the dunes to the beach.
GuideGreat campground with nicely spaced and well maintained sites. Clean restrooms, laundry and pool on site. There is a small playground too. Close to Corvalis but you do get a lot of road noise. Would come back if passing through the area.
TravelerThis is a great campground for families with young kids, but not ideal if you're seeking a quiet escape. I loved the quick walk to the beach and the amazing fossil beds all along the cliffside, that very highly enjoyable. But I found myself pretty irritated back at camp due to how close the sites are to each other and a general lack of etiquette. I didn't see one group of campers in the A loop who didn't have kids, so the vibe was very much that of a playground everywhere including directly in front of my site. A parent played a game with their very loud kid in front of my site that inevitably included throwing a frisbee into the site, and not apologizing for coming into my little area. Basically zero acknowledgement that I existed from any groups around me, I thought it was pretty inconsiderate, but perhaps I was the one out of place. And maybe I got unlucky but that neighbor who came into my site was a gentle parent type who let the kid, probably 7, throw huge temper tantrums without intervention. At one point the kid decided he was annoyed with the sounds of other kids playing down the way so he started screaming to mimic them, which the parent allowed to go on until the kid felt like stopping. I fell asleep to the sound of not one but two separate families playing card games in their tents, sounded like we were all camping together.
Despite no fireworks signage everywhere, families were setting them off on the beach…and in general people were extremely loud, hooting and hollering.
Bathrooms and showers were gross, I could tell they weren't serviced enough for the huge amount of people using them.
Perhaps I was there on an unlucky day, or got a poor site. Perhaps there's better experiences to be had here! But...not coming back unless I really need a place to stay because there's not much option in this area.
TravelerNice pond to camp near, several campsites to choose from and trails to explore
TravelerGood camp location, easy to find. Paved most of the way up.
ScoutThis is a great spot if you're in need of an easy escape from the campgrounds world. Didn't plan ahead like we did they probably are available! Privately owned land with two flat spots (named: Light & Sublime) carved out of their mountain haven - long distance views of the ocean through the woods + ocean sunset experience! No rite rings just a simple carved out location to spend the night. $45 cash (preferred) the Slugs came out to greet us in the morning - slugs are a good omen for us so they bring us a lot of joy.
ScoutThe staff have been really nice. And they put on fun events. Looks like they have short term and Long term sites. Very close to beach access.
ScoutAlmost every camping space has an electric outlet, water hookup and its own septic hookup if you an rv camper. Tent campers can use the hookups as well if you want to. Sites are clean and well managed and within walking distance to the river. Tho tent camping is aloud the host seems to dislike tent campers and talked to me like I was trash very disrespectful.
GuideTitle says it all. Clean toilets, showers, and sites. Got in at 9:30pm without a res and most dry sites were available.
