Grew up camping here as a child and have so many great memories of Eagle Lake. Unfortunately things have changed quite a bit due to the shift in climate in the area. The water was very low and air a bit smoky upon arrival in early September. Sites are great, with lots of shelter the further inland you go, and just enough pine tree shelter close to the water. Many sites available when we drove in on a Saturday afternoon, so we chose one with a view in the grassy area facing the lake. Amenities are great: flushing toilets, potable water, a general store with a good selection of items. A big, lakeside trail to bike/ walk that spans quite a distance and ends near the marina. The camp host played the French horn at sundown which was unexpected, but really lovely and relaxing to listen to as the sun set. Expect the days to be very hot, but nights extremely cold in the latter half of summer. Come prepared for the mountain climate with warm sleeping bags/ down blankets. Expect to hear some fishing boats and a bit of traffic at dawn if you stay during trout season. Always a good idea to check air quality and burn bans before arriving.

Stayed at this campground in late July and couldn’t have asked for better weather. We stayed two different sites- one closer to hwy (can’t recall the site #), then one right on the creek (#3). Both were good size. Creek site was far superior due to the extremely large size site and sound of the babbling brook which drowned out the traffic of the hwy. Easy creek access using a trail from our site, and lake access only a short walk away. This campground has so much potential, but the proximity to the hwy and railroad were a bit of a bummer. Trains kept us up our first two nights, so earplugs are a must. If you can, try to get a site near the creek or lake where it’s a lot quieter at night. Amenities at the campground are what you’d expect: access to potable water, fairly clean pit toilets. Great spot for families, since there are different lakes all the way up and down the hwy in this area. Bend is also fairly close if you’re interested in taking a day trip. The small resort- type campground about a mile away had a general store with ice, wood and some basic food items (hot dogs, etc.). If you’re booking sites in the latter half of summer #1 bring some bug spray (not a huge deal, but will come in handy) and #2 keep an eye on campfire burn bans/ air quality reports before you a arrive, as wildfire season can put a damper on your plans.

Nice campground near Tillamook. The campground was pretty cold in late July, and seemed to stay much colder than the surrounding cities of Tillamook/Oceanside, so it’s hard to predict weather using an app. It did rain which was unexpected, so come prepared. The hike to the cape was absolutely beautiful, but was harder than stated and extremely muddy, so again, come prepared. Nice beach access throughout the campground. Our site was a good size and backed up right to the forest, but unfortunately there was no privacy from site to our left. Loops nearest to ocean were very, very tiny. We stayed in C loop, which had more space and quite a bit of shelter from the wind. The campground was very busy and heavily trafficked, but stayed pretty quiet and peaceful through the day, aside from the occasional bike-riding child. benefits of this campground: showers, flushing toilets, access to decently priced wood and ice at the entrance, awesome beaches and very family friendly- would be good for little ones. I would recommend utilizing the pre-registration process through reservation.gov, because the check-in process at the entrance seemed to be a bit slow.

A bit chilly in August. Not much sun to be found in the loops, even on a fully sunny and warm day. Wind picks up In afternoon so bring winter-wear no matter the season you go. No beach or lake access, but some fun trails to hike. As far as sound goes it was very quiet, with mostly retirees inside their RV’s during the week. There is the distant sound of the jetty fog horn in Florence, which can be pretty annoying if you’re trying to sleep. It really depends on which direction the wind is blowing though. Our site was one of the bigger ones, but was right next to the site on the left, with no brush between. The group site in A Loop looked fantastic- lots of sun, room for 40 people, sound of a babbling brook and creek access. Big bonus of this campground is the flushing toilets and super clean bathrooms. Grounds are maintained beautifully, which makes it enjoyable to just wander around the loops. Hosts at most loops had firewood for sale for $6 a bundle. Overall I’d say Alder Dune (a few miles up the 101) campground is a better choice due to the bigger sites and additional trails, lakes and activities. Side note: Florence beaches are pay to park only, which is unusual for the Oregon Coast.
