If you want a secluded campground THIS IS THE ONE! Campsites were very spread out and completely surrounded by trees and bushes. It felt much nicer and quieter than the campgrounds that pack in as many sites as possible. Also right next to the dunes with a trail leading up to them. I would definitely come back here.

Great little campground that never seems to have anyone there. The water and bathrooms are working again but as of this review only the upper half of the campground. But since there is never a problem with finding a spot the Forest Service is probably taking there time. Easy access to the John Dellenback Dunes. Road noise from US 101 is minor, the sound of the ocean is pretty noticeable. Some of the sites are on the small size but others are much bigger. Must reserve online!!

This is a beautiful little campground. Everything is well groomed and the bushes look like they have all been trimmed up. Very quiet (during the week, don't know about week-ends), and you hear no road noise from Hwy 101. This is a great location to venture out from. A trip to Coos Bay and a cruise down Cape Arago Highway is not that far away. Just outside the entrance and about a quarter of a mile down the road is a Dollar General. Outside of the Dollar General store you have to drive into Coos Bay or Reedsport to do any shopping. Reserve America does a great job in showing pictures of each of the sites. Getting in and out of here with a big rig is not a problem. Very high clearances, but be aware of which site you choose. Some won’t work for bigger rigs. For those of you with solar panels be aware that not all of the sites are sunny. I would avoid at all cost site #44. It looks like the sand dune behind the campground has completely taken over this site. The Geo coorindinates for the entrance is: 46.587047, -124.184396 Now there are a few negative things to report. One is the water situation here. This campground has been without water for some time now, so the bathrooms are closed and portable toilets have been put up. If you are a fully self contained RV camper this won’t be a problem. There is a state park about a mile north of this place that provides water and a dump station at no charge, so it is easy to fill up there before coming into the campground. The pavement is sinking in places.  The dips can be hard to see,  so drive very slowly, otherwise you might get a good jolt. A great place to camp. Cozy and quiet.

We enjoyed the beauty surrounding the campgrounds. I would highly recommend staying here if you plan on doing the john dellenbeck trail to the ocean. No doggies on the beach. The campground was well taken care of and everyone respected the quiet time rules.

There's no direct access to the dunes from this camp ground. You will have to trailer there taking about 5-10 minutes to get there. The camp ground is nicely maintained and quiet most of the time with park hosts enforcing the rules. We love it.

No, but you can truck back to spin reel and ride from there. Also if you have your camp permit, you do not need to pay the $5 dollar fee.
