Very pretty

This campsite is very pretty and the hosts are lovely. They have fire wood for sale for 5 dollars a bundle, bathrooms and showers on site. There is a spot to load a very small boat into the water and very little and spotty cell service for me at least. It’s super pretty and nice!

Clean campsite and restrooms with showers.

 I like big Eddy Campground it’s about a half hour drive from home I’m in the woods right next to the Nehalem river. Campsites are good size for my a 22 foot trailer and two vehicles . If you don’t want to use your bathroom and shower they have restroom and two showers on the grounds.

Good for RVs

This is a nice small campground right off the main road. You can see cars go by and see neighboring houses from many camp spots. Might be ok for a stop in between for a night but if you are looking for an away from it all campground this isn’t it. It is clean, has restrooms and showers, small playground and all sites have electric it seems.

Pay an extra $5 transaction fee if you didn’t reserve your spot and you can only stay one night if no reservations.
