Small and quiet close to nearby attractions

Pros: This campsite is small (a handful of spots) mostly quiet near a river. There is a nearby public dock for fishing. Close (driving <15 minutes) to dunes, hiking, ocean and town. So much to do along the nearby coast! Saw: sea lions, bald eagles, whales just off shore and the kids loved the great tide pool areas a little north of Florence!

Cons: The camp is very near the highway, though not a busy one--you can hear cars. Several of the spots were open and roomy, ours was not (#7) and had little space for anything other than the tent. Pit toilets means no handwashing-- though the TP was well stocked for most of our three days. There are several spigots for running water that have signs posted for "no dishwashing" which was puzzling.

Overall, small camp without bells and whistles (unlike the ginormous Honeyman State Park across the highway) but feels private/uncrowded. Not much to do in camp (if that's important to you or if you have small kids) but so close to lots of nearby attractions.

That's about it! Thanks Tyee Campground, we enjoyed our stay!

Time of Our Life

Arrived in Florence to find no availabilities. Finally found Tyee and checked availabilities. One couple was leaving early and gave us their spot. We reserved the other days on line. As you can only reserve on line here. It is right on the river with plenty of shade and comfort. Spacious sites with table and fire pit. All the campers were so friendly and quiet. Restrooms were even pretty clean. No on site host at this time. But everything worked out great.

Situated nicely on the water

Nice spot on the water for some peaceful nature. Still has some road noise, but was easy to find a spot on the first come fist serve basis. $22 as advertised.
