Mosquito Playground
I stayed in the month of September and it was so mosquito infested that I couldn't come out of my tent. No amount of deet or citronella helps. Small primitive dispursed camping. No water or toilet. There is a stream that runs clear but still treat before using.
Good for cheap, but a little sketchy
I camped here the first night of my solo road trip along the Oregon coast. I knew this was where I was headed and luckily had it plugged into google maps already and had printed instructions, because it's a little hard to find.
You turn off of 101 and then drive for quite a while along a road that winds through neighborhoods and eventually into a more and more forested area. Then, you leave the nicely paved road and venture onto a rough, pothole filled dirt road (my poor Prius). You drive on this for quite a while as well before finally coming across what looks like might be campgrounds. I think some people stay out here for the full 2 weeks or whatever, because some of them certainly looked settled in. There are 4-5 sites that I could distinguish. There are definitely no facilities that I could find (luckily I wasn't expecting much).
There was plenty of space and a fire ring made of rocks, but it was filled with trash, so I didn't end up making a fire.
Overall fine if your car is hardy and you're cool with roughing it
