We stayed for 5 days and our group was all together. It was in a great location to access trails. The spaces could be a little wider, but can still park out 34' fifth wheel and truck. It was tight though. Great place to camp close to the ocean.

The recreation area is a nice place for families to ride. The camp host however is terrible. Her name is Karen and she is not a Oregonian. She rude and not friendly. She walks around with ear muffs on because she can’t stand the sound of peoples toys. She ruined our overall experience. This campground has potential if it had a good host

It's a nice little campground. Especially for anybody that wants access to the Oregon dunes recreational area. Most of the camping spots have room for your RV/camper and two vehicles. A lot of the campers have UTV side by sides, ATVs, sand rails, and dune buggies. You can drive right off the blacktop into the dunes. There's also a boat launch for small boats.

Do not come here unless you're a dune buggy fanatic. Seriously. I booked a week thinking the sand would be fun for my dog, but I am completely surrounded by loud motors, music, and constant revving of engines. The site would be fine if it wasn't completely exposed to the whole campground. Zero privacy, very loud, but also very beautiful. Update: left after 1 night. For some reason people like to...

For some reason people like to turn on their massive ATVs and just sit in them... My dog wouldn't leave the truck so we left. Never coming back.

Beautiful environment. Unreal views. Underfunded park. Minimal amenities. Lots of litter. I'm spending a week here and it's a good park to camp in for staging to go on the dunes, but that is all. The current park host is going above and beyond to make the park look better but it's obviously an uphill battle.
