Local Area

We camped here for a couple of nights in our 26′ travel trailer. We had water and electric hook ups. The sites are large, level pads, many with a good degree of privacy. The restrooms were clean. There is a dump station.

As with a lot of parks on the Oregon coast, there were quite a lot of mosquitoes when we stayed here in May.

There are several hiking trails, though we spent most of our time exploring the local area, which is beautiful. The park is well located for exploring the Oregon Dunes National Recreation Area and also an elk viewing area.
