Very scenic place!! We spent 6 nights here, hiked & biked a lot. Off season, so some of the amenities were closed (pool looks awesome). The campground itself isn't really all that great, prepare for some levelling. We lucked out in the B loop, as a small trail (Grassy Overlook trail) took us to see the northern lights one evening. I highly suggest stopping here for a few nights, an under rated area.
We camped here for 6 nights just before Halloween, enjoyed it. Not a lot to do unless you have a boat, but it's a scenic area. Ended up here because we had to avoid our original plans due to Hurricane Helene.
We stayed 3 nights here, enjoyed it very much even though the power was out due to Hurricane Helene's wrath. Two nice waterfalls to walk or bike to, the campsites are spread out fairly well, and it's quiet. Pinnacle Rock SP & Pipestem SP not too far away. Just a good place to kick back & relax.
Perfect place to unwind. Large, well spaced out campsites. Beach, walking paths, fishing and golf nearby.
Quiet and well manicured.
Amazing views all around, definitely worth the stop. Scenic drives & hikes. Absolutely loved this area.
Dry camping with potable water. You might get some generator noise, but during our 3 night stay only 1 camper violated the 8pm-8am quiet rule.
Groceries & gas a couple miles away. Like others noted, the road coming in is real rough, take it slow.
Very clean & quiet. Convenient to Bend & Sisters. Outstanding area for so much activity, & some serious scenic overload.
Our 3rd Oregon SP on our journey, best so far.

We had fun here, great beach & scenery. Campsites are fairly close together, not a lot of privacy but it's still a good place.
Make sure you visit Face Rock SP down the road (6 miles) & Old Town Bandon.
Camp workers really keep this place clean. FHU at most of the sites ( B loop closed at this time).
Enjoying our stay. When we booked it, I had no idea this is the windiest place on the Oregon Coast lol.
Our 2nd night, we couldn't sit outside & enjoy a campfire, way too windy. Other than that, it's been great.
A few nice trails here, like others mentioned it's a steep climb out of the beach area. The trail to the lighthouse is easy & enjoyable.
Groceries, gas, and a few eateries in town, 5-6 miles away
Wow, I've never seen so many stars. Really wish I booked 2 nights here. Quiet & clean off the beaten path. Easy hiking trails, great scenery.
Our April stay was great, used it as a base camp for the Wichita Mountains Wildlife Refuge.
Our site was a pull thru with FHU. This time of year, the campground was maybe 33% full. Staff was great, the grounds are clean. Very windy at times, probably normal for the area. I'd stay again.
Our 2nd visit here, glad we came back. Just spectacular scenery & hiking. Mesquite loop is great, and quiet.
Only negative, and it's minor, is the park is always under a burn ban, so plan accordingly for your meals. No fires or charcoal grills allowed.
We had fun here with our 3 year old granddaughter. Campsite was nice & large, well spaced out. Bathrooms are clean, and the trails are awesome. Saw about 20 alligators on Elm Lake
Pleasant one night stop on a rainy night. It's worth a longer stay for sure, the TVA campgrounds are clean & well maintained. We're coming back someday to explore the area.
Very impressed by another COE park. Many sites with a great water view, and the interior sites aren't too shabby. The scenery is outstanding, staff is informative & friendly.
Definitely worth visiting, lots to do in the area, or just enjoy the park.
Sorry, I hate writing negative reviews, but this place deserves it.
Pros- the beach is fantastic, staff is excellent.
Cons- looks like they tried to cram in as many sites as possible, even on unlevel terrain. I can't imagine how ugly it would get during rainstorms with the mud.
$34/night is way too high. I've seen way better dry camping spots. This was our 3rd Michigan SP on our long trip, & we are really disappointed in this one.
Really enjoyed our stay here. Our site wasn't the greatest, corner lot, but we enjoyed the scenery, solitude, & trails. The whole area is fantastic, I'd like to visit again.
The primitive sites here are even better than the modern ones FYI. I wouldn't hesitate to grab one of those for a couple nights.
Only an overnighter, but it's excellent for those nights when you just had enough driving. Nice playground for the kids if needed, restaurant only about a tenth of a mile walk. Boat ramp. We pulled in on a Wednesday around 6pm, only 5 of the 15 spots were taken. Weekends might be different
It's on our list now for the UP.
This is our first visit here, North Dakota does a great job with their state parks campgrounds. Our 3rd SP visited on this trip ( Lake Metigoshe & Sully Creek were the others).
Huge, well spaced campsites. Pretty much in immaculate condition. The park was busy, hardly any vacant spots but still very quiet. Plenty of folks had their boats, & plenty of room to park them. Very scenic area.
We've been to plenty of state parks across the USA. Looks like North Dakota might have the best ones.
Wide open spaces in the Whitetail Flats section, so no shade but the views are great. Spacious sites, very quiet. There are 3 loops, one a horsemen's camp but I think I saw a few travel trailers in there without horses. The other loop has height restrictions (10' max) so good options for the smaller trailers or tents. Shower house was always clean. If you plan on visiting TRNP south unit, this is a great option.
First time we ever boondocked in our 5th wheel. This place is nice & peaceful, well except for the 2 steer that went through our site lol.
Trey have one modern restroom, no showers. Excellent basecamp for the north unit. Plenty of wildlife & scenery to find.
When this place was built, they never envisioned large rigs. So if you have one over 30 feet, just be aware you might have to wiggle your way into a site. Camphost was great. Watford City about 20 minutes away for groceries & gas.
