Great site among old growth trees above the river. Can’t hear the people in the tent next to you over the rushing water. Great spot to camp, nothing but hiking and swimming holes for miles. The water was not turned on when we went in July and it was HOT so we had to drive a half hour back out to get more jugs of water while we were there. The pit toilets were nasty and the mosquitos and gnats were next level awful. We had to stay in our tents until after dusk each night. No fires allowed which is to be expected but still a bummer. Bear boxes available but didn’t hear or see any animals while we were there. Might go back for the swimming hole if nothing else.
This was a great campground nestled in the trees off the coast and nearby some towns for amenities. We stayed two nights in a yurt and used this as a base camp for some day hikes and town exploring. Beautiful. Cleanish bathrooms. Lots of mosquitos. Very damp. Lots of trees. Deer in the park. Lots of trails around the lake too.
Do yourself a favor and check out the Harbor Light restaurant two towns North and get their clam chowder and elk shepherds pie. To die for.
This was a short one night stop on a camping roadtrip but it was nice. The park was beautiful and on the way in we passed a bison conservation area nearby which was cool. Falling asleep to the shrieks of distant coyotes was cool too. Heard lots of critters in the night, owls, deer, rabbits. In the morning was woken up by woodpeckers. Site 22 was huge and had plenty of space for our two tents and more. Our loop was full of RVs full of people having a great time. Weather was perfect and couldn’t ask for a better night in the middle of nowhere.
Only stayed one night on a coastal road trip but this place for sure left an impression. Gorgeous views. Great campground. Great weather. We heard a bear in the night, and raccoons everywhere around our tents. The only negative is the trails are not dog friendly. Which is a shame because I would love to go ‘splorin here. I will definitely be back. Soon.
