First the host, Terry was awesome, very knowledgable of the area and conditions in the area. The restrooms were clean and ample for the number of campsites that are available. ODFW needs to update the fishing and hunting status though. The river is recovering from this years heat and warm waters for the trout fishing, but the deer population in the area also seems to be affected. Only suggestion more level campsites for campers.Other then that highly recommended! Beautiful area and great people to meet.

Hadn't camped here in literally 26 years....went with a friend for the weekend, it's as lovely as it was all those years ago. Well worth the drive from anywhere, clean and oh so beautiful....was a perfect weekend. Right on the Nehalem river, so peaceful. Already planning my next visit ❤️

I love this campground. Ive been coming here sense I was little, the people that camp here are always friendly and respectable, they sell fire wood in the mornings and use a wheel barrow to take it to your camp, and are very generous, have never had any problems here ever, the creek is very nice and shallow in most areas, great places to catch crawdads. Its not too far from the beach if you decide you wanna spend a day in seaside, theres a coffee shop down the road if thats just the kinda person you are, theres a road that goes up to a nice little lake with a trail that goes all the way around. A great place to get away for a few days and rates are affordable

spruce run open now?

We went last weekend and although there are signs saying day use is open, the day use area with the bathroom and picnic area is closed and blocked with barriers. Road is open though and you can find a spot off the side of the road to get to the river. Camping is not open and is blocked off as well.

David Howes | Aug 17, 2020
Iris | Aug 17, 2020

It is a primitive style campground, we have only camped at the walk in sites. In the campground I have only seen tent camping. I believe on the outer edge there are trailer sites,but the campground is a small loop.good luck.

Is there a fee to tent camp overnight?

Jake Harter | Aug 18, 2019
Animals and Technology A Positive Live Stream | Aug 18, 2019

$5 for walk up site. and if you go off on any trail stay 500 ft from a road 100 ft from trail or natural water river/lake its free you dont need to pay to back pack in Oregon forests, but be careful of this area because a lot of people own property surrounding the vacation home you pass so better to go down river. Also many people "back pack" just out side the camp ground and use the day use areas during the day so don't expect to be the only one with this plan.

Is there day use. If so what is the fee.

Gary Watson | Aug 18, 2018
Marcie Raye | Aug 18, 2019

Yes, there is day use at no cost.

How old do you have to be to pay for the site? I’m asking because some campgrounds require people to be 21 years old to book and some are 18. I know it’s first come first serve, so is there even an age restriction?

Grace Moore | Aug 18, 2018
Mark Guthrie | Aug 18, 2018

We were just there and the payment was made via a box. No onsite camp host. So, no age checking that we saw.
