Secluded beachy CG

Yet another nice Oregon State Park campground. This is near the Oregon dunes but hidden away off the south end of most of the dune area. It's a tight little campground loop if you're pulling a trailer of any length. I would not recommend trailers longer than 30 ft. We had to work a little at getting ours into spot number 16 because of the curve of the road and the tight bushes and greenery all throughout the campground which encroach upon the roads and even the camping spaces. All the brush and trees do provide some good privacy in most of the spots. We like that there's a small lake right next to the campground and the beach is just down the road a fraction of a mile with parking paved. Facilities are all very clean and the campground host was helpful. You're just 5 minutes off the 101 but nice and secluded out towards the beach. My Verizon cell phone had one bar of 4G and internet was somewhat usable. I noticed the dirt listing says there is Wi-Fi but there is no Wi-Fi in this campground.

Nice spots not very private

We enjoyed our night here. You can reserve online last minute which is great! Spots were clean with picnic tables and fire pit but very close together

Wonderful little spot

Bluebill is a wonderful little spot to camp, hike, explore, fish, and enjoy the quiet. You can hear the dune buggies off in the distance which makes it feel close to home without being disturbing.

Wild Mare camp is next to Bluebill Campground so you may hear an occasional horse whinnying, also makes it feel close to home without being disturbing.

Bluebill Lake is a wonderful hike with a great trail to the water if you want to do some fishing.

The Pacific Ocean is less than a mile away, with a gorgeous view from the top of the trail.

My only confusion was the information board said to check in with the camp host, there isn't one there. Obviously, a volunteer position, but the park rangers should be more involved in the campground. Stayed four days, never saw a ranger.

No internet at all, spotty cell service at best. No electricity. No hook ups. No showers. Be prepared to be self contained.

It was clean, quiet, and comfortable. Other campers followed the rules.

Check out is 1pm, check in is 2pm.

Wonderful spot to camp.

Very Relaxing

The description says it all... almost...😉 The campsite is reasonably priced and was very clean. The lake is SO cute and we walked the path around it several times which morphs from dirt to roots to packed rocks to sand. There's also a little tiny beach on one side of the path you can throw down a chair and relax. Not sure about swimming. The noise from the dunes area and all the sand toys was kinda fun to listen to during the day and it quieted down relatively early which was nice. From the roadway, you could get to the beach but not the water as that stretch is for the off-road vehicles. There's water and vault toilets available as well as trash service. There's not a lot to do outside of that but it was a nice place to stay. Happy Camping!

Nice and quiet little campground

No ATVs here (although is close to the Oregon Dunes). For us an advantage: It's quiet. The sites offer good privacy

Peace At Last

Maybe I'm a sucker for quieter campgrounds, but this one gets a bump up for not being all about the buggies.  The motor noise is in the distance - you can walk to all the excitement if you'd like.  The coast is close - as are the forests and lakes.  Plus, there are some pretty nice green walls between you and your neighbors.  The foliage often keeps them out of site.  The campground as a whole isn't epic or unique, but it's also not really made for too much sitting around.

Great Spot, No OHVs allowed

My go-to spot if i come back to the oregon dunes area. This campground, while central in the dune and OHV area, doesn't allow OHVs in the grounds so it is by far the quietest and most secluded of the campgrounds in the area. Surrounded by trees and right up against the lake with a great loop trail around it. Barely has a bar of cell service (verizon) when there. Has bathrooms and fresh water available as well. And spots are large with good privacy.
