I hadn't been here for years. I forgot how massive this place is…and how nice it is! We got a last minute reservation and ended up with a great site. It's a HUGE set of campgrounds, but it never felt crowded. And you can drive out on the beach and get away too. We sat for a few hours and had maybe 1 car per hour drive by. We were on loop H, which was good and bad. The bathrooms were horrible and needed torn down, but the next loop over was close and had great bathrooms and showers. Also, H didn't have a playground, so it was a little quieter with the kids. Or maybe it was just because we were camping after Labor Day and there were fewer kids in general.

We enjoyed our stay here. We had a nice space with decent trees for shade and putting up some lights. We could easily drive in to Madras…or to the Crooked River Canyon to go bungee jumping!!!!  We also took a nice drive out east in the hills. Firewood was a bit steep, at $8/bundle.

This is a great campground. We rolled in on a Thursday evening, hoping we were there early enough to snag a spot, since it's all first-come, first-served. There were quite a few to pick from and we ended up with a great spot. By Friday night, there was only a few spots left. The good: flush toilets! We heard owls every night. Also, they have astronomy presentations up at Hurricane Ridge, which is cool. The bad: no showers and the bathrooms in A-Loop were closed for renovation. Also, the fire ban sucked.

Generally, the campground and surrounding area are beautiful. However, there is a lot lacking.  I'm not sure if it's pandemic hangover or whomever manages the campground, but it wasn't a great experience. The main gift shop and restaurant at Mazama are still closed, on a holiday weekend. Seems odd.  There was a fire ban, which is understandable at the end of the summer, but there was no enforcement. We saw several people with campfires and never saw a ranger make a trip through the campground to police it. We woke up the 1st morning and weren't thrilled with site, so I went to ask if there was any way we could move. I was told they were full and couldn't move any RVs.  The entire rest of the weekend, the campground was never over 50% full!  Finally, the worst thing, is there are THREE showers for the entire campground!  THREE!!!!!  The campground has A through F loops!  How is this possible?!  If you could get in one, it was dirty, the water was cold, and the lights were out in one of them.  It's embarrassing that a National Park campground could be so poorly managed.

We stayed here as a base to go whale watching out of Port Townsend. We really liked the campground, but it's a bit excluded, out on the end of the island. It takes a while to drive over to Port Townsend - and anywhere, really.  That said, it's beautiful and we really liked it. We didn't get a chance to explore the trails or much of the base, but we'd love to go back sometime. 

We stayed in the upper campground, in the trees. The views are nice on the beach, but we prefer a little more privacy. The showers require tokens and didn't work all the time.

This was our first visit to the south coast. The campground is conveniently located just outside Brookings, but is just off the highway. You do get some highway noise. The facilities are ok - there aren't many showers, and the hours were extremely restricted. They were locked by 7 or 8 pm, which is odd.  Also, firewood sales ended at 6 pm, which isn't very convenient. The host made an exception for us one day, but still.  The beach is really nice, with great scenery and tidepools to explore.

We really loved the forest setting of this park. There are great hammock trees at nearly every site. Overall, it's beautiful.  The bathrooms were just ok.  There's only 1 shower per bathroom, and you have to pay to make it work. One night, the meter in the men's shower was broken, so I had to take a cold shower.  Also, it's tokens, not quarters.  The hiking trails views onto the sound are nice as well.  I'm not sure if it was just our weekend, but the campground was kind of noisy and loud.  Rangers came around to make sure our fire was propane, but they didn't make any trips around to enforce quiet hours.  Still, we liked it and would come back again.

We booked a site here as a last resort, because everything else in the area was full.  It's an interesting mix of campground and kind of a trailer park, with the permanent RV residents. They tend to junk up the place a little bit.  The campground is next to the busy road, so you get some loud traffic from time to time. The bathrooms are ok. There are 2 large rooms with showers, and they had just installed 2 new rooms, with toilets and sinks only. We ended up with a great site towards the back and on the side. It was quiet and peaceful.  Although we enjoyed our stay, if the place was full, I can see it being a very different experience. We couldn't get wifi at our site, but we didn't care. The cabins looked fun.   The owners are very nice.

Beverly Beach is a great park, centrally located on the coast halfway between Depoe Bay and Newport.  We used it a a home base to do some epic tide pooling during some negative tides and it was perfect. Most sites in the park have ample trees for hanging hammocks, but a few don't (ours didn't). Due to Covid, the bathrooms weren't being cleaned as often as normal. Hopefully that won't last much longer. Bonus - there's a small store right outside the campground entrance that has just about everything you could imagine, including fire wood for a little less than in the park!

I love the lower campground. The sage-juniper smell is intoxicating. Sites in the C loop can be dusty, but the views are incredible. Most sites in the B and C loop have multiple hammock-ready trees too!

We found this campground as a last resort, when everything else was full.  The view is great, looking out on the sound, with forested trees on the surrounding hills.  However, that's the best part.  The sites are poorly laid out, right on top of each other.  Our neighbors partied late, and their fireplace and table were less than 20 feet away from our trailer.  There is ZERO shade or anything to block you from the wind, which can get strong coming off the water.  There's a communal water tap and dumpsters for garbage, but the toilets are pit toilets (clean, but not flush). We enjoyed watching birds, the sunset and the stars, but I don't think we'd go back.

We ended up here by accident. We tried to go to a different park, but it was first come/first served and it was full.  We were headed home along the highway and decided to try Memaloose. To our surprise, there were plenty of open sites, so we decided to give it a shot. We couldn't tell what had power and what didn't in the dark, so we ended up in an interior site that ended up being pretty nice.  We were under a few big trees, so it provided shade and felt kind of like we were in a cave when we were sitting by the fire.  

A few things to note - 1) The hookup sites are only on the outside of the B loop. 2) It's close to the highway and there is a train that goes by, so there is some noise, but it's not bad. 3) Most of the fire pits are really tall/deep. It's not ideal for roasting marshmallows.

Overall, it's a good park.  Some sites have great views of the river, and it's very central to exploring lots of stuff in the eastern Gorge area.

This was the last stop on our 2 week summer road trip.  We wanted something quiet in the trees, and this was perfect!  There are some really great, secluded sites. Bathrooms were clean and well maintained.

Stayed here one night, just passing through. Made reservation online, but wasn't assigned a site. When we arrived, the office was closed and there were no instructions on how to check in. We had to call the hotel front desk. the sites are ok. The bathrooms and showers were nice and clean. You can walk or take a shuttle to the casino. The campground has very bright perimeter lights that can be a bit intrusive.  We paid $45 for one night in an electric hookup spot. Seems a bit steep.

Stayed here for one night. It was during the pandemic, so the showers were closed, which was a bummer.  Other than that, it seems like a good place.  The sites are big, level, and well manicured.  A few sites have shade trees while others have covered picnic tables.  We were just passing through, so it wasn't convenient for us. If you're doing something in the area (river, dunes, etc.), it's a good option.

We rolled in late and were extremely disappointed with our site in the B row. Our picnic table was less than 5 feet from our neighbor's camper and we couldn't have a fire for fear of burning their car. We canceled our 2nd night as soon as the office opened the next morning…..as we walked around, we realized there are good sites- we just didn't have one. We were able to rebook in C row, where we had a lot more room(more expensive). Unfortunately, we realized the sprinkler systems will soak your stuff if you leave it out😡, but it was a good site. 

This place isn't cheap, but it does include entrance to the springs, which are pretty nice. Be careful which row you book in and you should be ok. In the end, the cabins look like they are the best deal.
