Guide
Good to know
Go for sunset viewing
Multiple reviewers highlight sunset as a spectacular highlight with dramatic rock formations silhouetted against the sky.
Visit at low tide
Tide pools reveal starfish, sea urchins, anemones, hermit crabs, and occasionally octopuses across the rocky areas.
Book well ahead or visit off-season
The campground fills constantly; reviewers note difficulty getting spots except in winter or by luck.
Bring waterproof gear
The Oregon coast is damp year-round; one reviewer recommends a waterproof tarp over tents, and showers run hot.
Expect highway noise
The campground sits close to Highway 101; traffic noise is audible day and night, especially early evening.
