Only official campground along the C2C Trail

No reservations. First-come, first-served. About a dozen campsites, plus a hiker-biker area. $10 for an individual campsite. $5 per hiker/biker. We stayed in the hiker-biker section.

Two pit toilets and potable water available. The area is well-maintained. There is no cell service in camp or along most of the 60-mile C2C (Corvallis to Coast) Trail. Camp is near a small town, but there were no amenities that I could tell.

Quiet and Small!

Only about 10 sites here , the camp host was very nice and sold us firewood! Not a very busy campsite but it is pretty!
