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.

This was a really nice place to stay during our trip to the area. Close to Yachats, beaches, and sightseeing spots to the south and Newport to the north. The back in site with the hedges on each side was really nice. Store wasn’t well stocked and staff was helpful and friendly. Campground was very clean and well taken care of. Would love to stay here again.

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.
