Skillet Creek Forest Camp

Great campground! Sydney, the host (Summer 2025) was so friendly! The grounds themselves were spotless and my neighbors were very respectful and quiet! 🙌 There are other campgrounds in the area with lots of ATVs…this was NOT one of them. There’s NO out-of-state fee for booking a site, but you must book online. I paid $22/night plus a one time reservation fee of $8 in the summer of 2025. No hook... Great campground! Sydney, the host (Summer 2025) was so friendly!

There’s NO out-of-state fee for booking a site, but you must book online. I paid $22/night plus a one time reservation fee of $8 in the summer of 2025. No hook-ups, but there are several dumpsters, potable water spigots and flush toilet bathrooms scattered around the campground. During my 3 day visit, there were lots of tent campers and small RVs (under 25”). The sites are smaller and lots appear to be back in, I could imagine the large trees would make parking difficult for huge RVs with slides 🤷‍♀️ . **IF YOU NEED SOLAR** Sites 4, 5, 6, 9, and 46 seem to get a lot of sunlight. Otherwise the sites are shaded by beautifully established trees. I’ll attach some of the good “solar” sites for reference. Cell service: Verizon worked flawlessly throughout campground.

We stayed for a week in our 30' class A, and it was what we expected. It was never too busy, and the site was plenty big enough for our vehicles to fit (although the side clearance was close with slides out). We really liked that every site was mostly private but several of the sites you can get through the bushes to your neighbor. The bathrooms were VERY clean, and the hosts kept everything order...

The only suggestion I have for improvement would be to improve the road itself. There are many sizeable dips that flooded during our stay and left about 12" of standing water. If you want your own private access to dunes and a quick drive to most conevniences, this is a great campground. Highly recommend

This is a beautiful little campground. Everything is well groomed and the bushes look like they have all been trimmed up. Very quiet (during the week, don't know about week-ends), and you hear no road noise from Hwy 101. This is a great location to venture out from. A trip to Coos Bay and a cruise down Cape Arago Highway is not that far away. Just outside the entrance and about a quarter of a mile... This is a beautiful little campground.

This is a great location to venture out from. A trip to Coos Bay and a cruise down Cape Arago Highway is not that far away. Just outside the entrance and about a quarter of a mile down the road is a Dollar General. Outside of the Dollar General store you have to drive into Coos Bay or Reedsport to do any shopping. Reserve America does a great job in showing pictures of each of the sites. Getting in and out of here with a big rig is not a problem. Very high clearances, but be aware of which site you choose. Some won’t work for bigger rigs. For those of you with solar panels be aware that not all of the sites are sunny. I would avoid at all cost site #44. It looks like the sand dune behind the campground has completely taken over this site. The Geo coorindinates for the entrance is: 46.587047, -124.184396 Now there are a few negative things to report. One is the water situation here. This campground has been without water for some time now, so the bathrooms are closed and portable toilets have been put up. If you are a fully self contained RV camper this won’t be a problem. There is a state park about a mile north of this place that provides water and a dump station at no charge, so it is easy to fill up there before coming into the campground. The pavement is sinking in places.  The dips can be hard to see,  so drive very slowly, otherwise you might get a good jolt. A great place to camp. Cozy and quiet.
