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.
