We stayed in A deluxe cabin. It was very small but nice I guess. The one room is a decent size with a double bed maybe queen but looked double. The other "room" is tiny. Ive seen little broom closets bigger. The bunks are little and hard to use the top it had ants too.

The one room is a decent size with a double bed maybe queen but looked double. The other "room" is tiny. Ive seen little broom closets bigger. The bunks are little and hard to use the top it had ants too. The bathroom was ok, bath and shower, would have been better with a hand held shower 🚿, there was a sink and the toilet but little room. The kitchen had a full size fridge and freezer, a microwave, and a toaster, kurrig machine and some dishes. No stove or electric burners tho. All in all id rate the cabin itself a 5/10. The service was non existent, facilities and play parks were run down with broken and dirty equipment and no beach acces. The staff had an issue with our service dog and that ruined our stay a bit. I'd rate the outside a 3/10. Total experience ended up being a 2 or 3 /10. We wont be back.

Not worth the money. We stayed in a deluxe cabin. Be prepared to decide between sleeping or having heat. Heaters are SO LOUD. Check in is 2pm or after but office closed at 2pm. They called an hour ahead to tell us so that was helpful but why close at the time you can check in? Queen bed was very uncomfortable. Cabin shower had soap residue from previous customers.

Cabin shower had soap residue from previous customers. Trail to the bay is not a trail that anyone takes care of so if you’re not prepared for a hike, don’t take it down. Overall not well kept campground and over priced.

Wow. This KOA is so pretty. On the water right next to the beautiful Alsea midcentury bridge. We were traveling in our RV down the coast to Tucson. It has cabins, and playground, allows pets, and a laundromat. The people running the KOA were super nice. I would love to come here again and explore the area.

We loved this campground! We stayed 5 nights in a deluxe cabin with our boys (13 & 17). They enjoyed playing ping pong in the rec room and walking the trail down to the bay. The cabin had most things we needed during our stay and was clean and well kept. Hedges around the cabin and sites provide privacy for almost every site.
