Forested sites with a plethora of trails and dynamic geological formations

This campground is GOLD! Definitely a popular place, but we managed to snag an amazing site next to a babbling creek, tucked down in trees and secluded from everyone else. There are a few restrooms with drinking fountains, and picnic tables/fire pits at each site.

The campground is full of hiking trails, including some that take you up to great views (also drivable, but half the fun is the hike!). There is a quarter mile trail that takes you to the Visitor Center that overlooks the ocean. Plenty of people were there watching for whales, but we unfortunately didn't see any. From the Visitor Center, there are several different trails to various geological formations such as Thor's Well, Devil's Churn, and Spouting Horn. It really shows the best of the Oregon coast.

The campground is within driving distance to other cool beaches and some amazing tide pools. It is also close to the adorable town of Yachats, which has everything the hungry camper could want. I highly recommend stopping at Yachats Brewing + Farmstore for a cold beer after a day of hiking.
