Quiet stay in the woods

This campground is absolutely beautiful to me. It's nestled in the woods next to the beach with the cute little town of Pacific City just 5 minutes away. The staff was very friendly. We have yet to meet an unfriendly staff member at a Thousand Trails campground. There are two entrances... Just make sure you go in the one with the big sign. The other is actually used moreso as an exit. Some of the roads get a bit steep so be slow and cautious. We have a 38' rig. If you have a bigger rig we were told to avoid the Section I because it's hard to turn around. We went towards Section E instead. With a 2 week stay we needed sewer hookups which are very limited. We got space E1 which was fairly private, full hookups, 50 amp, and right by the bathrooms too. If you come to Section E do NOT turn around at the bathroom. It's too tight. Go straight to the turnaround at the end and come back. We saw way too many people almost trash their rigs. It looks like there are some higher up spots that have amazing views but they were all already taken. Limited services at them though.

The facilities all looked great! Well kept and nice. The lodge is the one place with internet since the repeaters weren't functional yet. Someone mentioned people keep hitting them too much to get them up and running yet. The  indoor pool is clean and next to an outdoor hot tub. Some of the recreational amenities are a bit worn but I can understand not keeping them up as it doesn't seem like people use them much anyways. There are a few spots to just sit and look out at the ocean that we enjoyed. There's also a nice trail that goes down to the ocean. You do cross the road so just watch out there. It's marked for cars to be aware too.

The sand dunes nearby are a great spot to see. We also hung out for a bit at the beach in Pacific City. Tillamook is a short drive and worth the trek as well as Cape Meares to the north.
