Stayed for one night, but wished we could have stayed longer. Very good location near burney falls and a very friendly owner/manager. He made us feel at home and graciously gave us a ride to the trailhead as we'd reached late.

We loved this campground! We stayed 5 nights in a deluxe cabin with our boys (13 & 17). They enjoyed playing ping pong in the rec room and walking the trail down to the bay. The cabin had most things we needed during our stay and was clean and well kept. Hedges around the cabin and sites provide privacy for almost every site. The staff was friendly and knowledgeable about the area. I would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend this KOA!

Our first time at this KOA. The sites were nice. The kids enjoyed the playground. The dog area was small but nice. Restrooms, showers and laundry on site. Had to reposition the trailer to access all of the full hookups. Not is the standard locations, but was manageable. Small hiking trail down to the river.

I am giving a 3 only because of the placement of our accommodation between a huge party who rented multiple cabins. Im pretty sure this group had reservations, like we did for our stay. I dont understand why we weren't put in one of the end cabins. That would've allowed for this group to all be housed side by side. We have done nothing but dodge people walking/running through our campsite whenever they please. When I addressed the issue the adults said oh ya we will talk to the kids. The adults however do whatever they want. We paid for 4 nights. We are leaving at 2 am in order to attempt to sleep for our long drive home. No sleep or rest is possible. There are kids screaming, yelling and having a great time, balls are being bounced, they are still running through or campsite and in general doing whatever the hell the want. My money may mean jack compared to this group but I PAID FULL PRICE for 4 FULL night's in a cabin and FULL USE of our campsite. Today is my 38th anniversary. My husband and I were planning to have our special meal at our picnic table. We ended up loading our car for a streamlined escape. I would suggest you look over your reservations and plan placement better. I dont know if we will come back without input in what cabin and where we will be depending on availability. It is so damn noisy I'm half tempted to leave right now and sleep in my car on the side of the road for a couple hours. This is rude to my husband and I and setting this group up for utter failure in respect of personal space all because someone didn't check the reservations and make a plan.

Great location. Stayed here for 2 nights to explore the glorious Oregon Coastline. We had Site Number 1 which was excellent as it was opposite the store and washrooms. Had a nature walk down to the beach. Only disadvantage was the road noise.

Quite a roller coaster with this one, it had its ups and downs. On one hand the grounds are meticulously maintained, groomed daily. Wonderful private showers and restrooms, excellent beach access and a little hike, abounding scenic views of Waldport and the bridge and a little 24-hour laundromat. And on the flip-side for my entire month long visit im not sure if the store was ever open, only the west-facing three restrooms were ever open, the laundromat doesn't supply its own quarters and offers no real place to sit or fold laundry properly. If you hope to have something mailed to you; Amazon for example, i was dissuaded under the assumption that fed-ex was the only parcel service to deliver however the UPS van made several visits There is also a long and often convoluted set of very specific rules; my favorite being "please don't rinse sand off yourself in our bathrooms", curiously this makes no mention of washing it off someone else. They certainly offer a; unique experience, and i would return for its easy access and scenic views alone.

This is a wonderful little campground. There is a path down to the water that is nice for just about anyone to to walk on not too steep and easy on the knees. It's quiet at night no road noise my only complaint is that they want quiet time to be 10 pm and we are up late campers so we had our fire going well until midnight. We were quiet an had no complaints. not really sure if summer time is strick on the 10 pm quiet time and if that means no more fires but we sure hope not. We plan on camping here many more times thru out the years ahead. Thank you for making check in so easy for us after hours.

Friendly staff and very clean campground. Our site was a level pull thru separated by other sites with a large hedge. Convenient to the beach, restaurants in the area and hiking trails. We heard Hwy 101 traffic most of the time. The septic at our site did not drain well because the level was too high. Signage coming from the north is very difficult to see so look carefully or you'll have to turn around after you go over the bridge.
