An absolutely luxurious place to camp! The asphalt is freshly paved, there’s spigots to fill water everywhere, and even hot showers in the restrooms. Imagine a day out on the cold windy beach and you’ve got sand in your ears, and then a nice warm shower? Seriously this is better than camping, it’s somewhere between Super 8 motel and camping. So like I said, very luxurious for a campground!! To top it off, there are a lot of things to do here: long walk on the beach, cold refreshing swim, and trails trails trails to walk and hike on paved and on sand and through a beautiful forest. Thank you Oregon for the privilege of experiencing such a fine outdoor experience and clean, quiet campground.
Stayed in one of their Yurts, we were greeted with a great view and had a lovely time camping in something very much more weatherized than a tent.
They hit my big three: Friendly hosts, electricity, and clean bathrooms.
Fantastic spot for a weekend getaway or planned group retreat!
It's very nice being only moments away from the beach as well, will definitely be returning!
My wife and I enjoy the paved walking trail and the off path trails through the park. There are a couple of forks in the paved path that will take you out to the beach. The area is well kept and clean. It is dog friendly and the parking area has restrooms. Kid friendly for sure.
