Darling’s was a lucky find for us. I stumbled across it on a search one day and booked a site on the lake. Unfortunately due to medical reasons, needed to make a date change and they were very accommodating. We ended up with a beautiful spot on the lake and enjoyed a delicious dinner in their restaurant. The service was stellar and everyone is so friendly. Our dog’s water bowl was constantly filled, we met some really nice people and had a great weekend. We will definitely be back! Thanks for such great hospitality.

We use to love staying at Darlings. (Despite the need for updated showers and restrooms and the mice running out of the smokehouse.) We recently experienced a couple of seperate incidents with Rich that were very negative. First, he let another camper take the site we reserved and offered us their site which we did not want. He should have made them move. The second happened when we canceled a month long stay. BEWARE ! Their online policy posted is not transparent. Rich refused to refund our reservation even though we provided a 32 day notice of our cancelation. He was unprofessional, refused to make it right, and gave false information. Not good business. I noticed he has had other negative reviews as well. He is not the right person for the job.

My mom and I just moved to the Florence area and was recommended Darlings for their BBQ. They did not disappoint, the brisket is some of the best I’ve had, my mom had the pulled pork, the servings were big, our waitress was amazing and the view, I couldn’t ask for a better one! We will definitely be coming back and becoming regulars.

We were traveling over the July 4th holiday in our sprinter van , needed a place to park for the night. We called Laurie, she indicated they were full for the weekend, however accommodated us in a great spot overlooking the lake. The BBQ is amazing, everyone was so friendly, we just happened on this spot and will definitely stay again. Thank you for the lovely visit.

Absolutely some of the best BBQ you can find in Oregon. I don't think I can put into words how good the food was. It was so good it made my Texan fiancee cry. The service was excellent and so was the view from the restaurant.

Food was great. Loved sitting outside in the nice weather with beautiful views. They were busy, as always, but you couldn't tell because of their great staff. Always a pleasure.

My wife and I stayed there last summer (site F), and it was perfect! Loved hearing the kids play in the park, and right on the water. We are coming back to the same site in June….can’t wait! We had the brisket, can’t be beat anywhere….awesome! Super staff, we blew the end off our water hose, and they even loaned us a hose to use….who does that anymore? Very friendly and helpful above and beyond! Soooo looking forward to being back!

Family owned and operated with excellent staff. Genuinely nice people that want you to have a pleasant experience. Gorgeous setting on one of the Oregon coast’s largest lakes. Several sites within feet of the water with sweeping views of the water. The brisket, tri-tip and pull pork rival anything I have had in Texas! I hesitated doing a review because I don’t want a lot of people discovering this awesome getaway!

Oh. My. Lord. If I could eat here every single day till I die I totally would. Brisket? Out of this world! Service? Fantastic! View? Absolutely beautiful. You absolutely cannot skip going here, it's just too good!

We made reservations to camp there for March and decided to drive over and have lunch today and check it out. The food was amazing. The best club sandwich I have ever had. My wife said the dame about the french dip. We can't wait to go camp there and with food that good my trailer will be a lot lighter as we will probably be eating our meals there at the cafe instead of cooking.
