What campers say

Waxmyrtle Campground is a well-kept coastal option with clean flush toilets, potable water stations, and convenient trash/recycling. Trails lead to the beach (about 3/4 mile of sand) and there’s easy access to the Siltcoos River for kayaking and paddling. Sites vary: several are private and sunny, while others sit close to the loop and can be noisy or have sloped parking pads that aren’t ideal for large RVs. Hosts are generally helpful though not always present. Expect wildlife and occasional minor maintenance or pest issues, and note seasonal beach restrictions for dogs during nesting season.
