    Campsite

    This campsite is extremely conveniently located. it is across the street from the Cape Perpetua shore. It is also about a 10 minute drive from Yachats which is a small town with some restaurants and shops. My husband and I spent one night here with our maltipoo. We met the camp hosts who were friendly and helpful. There is no formal check in process so it's best to know your campsite number ahead of time. Our campsite was small and close to our neighbors. There is a small creek that runs behind the sites, which provides a nice ambience. The restrooms were clean, however, I found that they were a bit of a walk from our campsite. Also, there are no showers. I would not object to staying here again, however, I would want to try another campground first. However it is a great location if you plan to spend most of your day at Cape Perpetua.

    looking up to the road from site 15. Pretty private spot

    Devils Churn is one of the coolest geological formations I've ever seen…read more As the tide comes in, the waves are concentrated in the basalt chasm (the result of an ancient collapsed lava tube), where they gain speed, ricochet against themselves, creating the "churn" look. It looks like a giant ocean bathtub full of violent butter. The waves splash dozens of feet in the air, filling tide pools on the basalt cliffs, and then cascading back down over the edges in a circular formation of infinite waterfalls. It looks like something you would imagine you would see in Iceland. The churn can be seen from a viewing area close to the parking lot, but it's just a short half mile hike down to the shore. Even though people have been washed out to sea from this site, these people had gone beyond the official trail, into the actual tide pool area above the churn. So, as long as you're on the trail, you're probably safe. I held on to the wooden rail just in case a big wave came, but noticed that the very bottom rung had been washed out. There is enough parking for about twenty cars at the information center, which is staffed by the Forest Service on limited hours/days. Parking is $5 or free with an NPS, Forest Service, or other federal interagency pass. I've actually been here a few times now. Valentine's Day was pretty crowded, and the visitor center was open. I had to leave before high tide, but was mesmerized. So, I ended up coming back during high tide a few days later. At one point, I saw the ocean throw an entire tree onto the ledge-- only to reclaim it a few minutes later. Falling in to the churn would almost certainly result in death. Some of the waves looked like they were going 25mph once they entered the chasm. Plus it's full of huge logs being violently churned around. But just half mile down the trail, there is a calm, serene beach with really pretty rocks. Continuing on, you can actually hike to Thors Well from here. I can't believe I'd never even heard of this place until I stumbled upon it by accident after visiting Thors Well. Personally I actually found the churn more impressive and mesmerizing to watch.

    Super easy hike down to devils churn with accessible parking. I would highly recommend checking to…read moresee where the tide is at before going down for your safety. Came here with my friend on our way to Florence .

    We have stayed here over a dozen times over the years. Sites are relatively big, lots of…read morepull-throughs, are gravel and some are not as level as others. It is way off of 101, so no highway noise. It is close enough to Haceta Beach you can hear the ocean at night. And, it is not too far to walk to beach access. The bathrooms are always clean and I have never had hot water problems when showering. Unfortunately, this stay the digital TV channels were not available (i.e. all network/ local channels). I thought it was my TV and spent quite some time troubleshooting. Those in the office had a sheet to hand out to people with "cable problems." Finally, I asked them to pull up the TV in the office. They had the same problem but could only tell me they would report it to the owners. For all I know, they canceled their digital service. As for WiFi, like at many parks, it is hot and miss. It dropped twice while typing this review. Cell coverage is terrible here, so WiFi is important to me. If cable and WiFi are no big deal to you, then this could be 5 stars. I like having them so I give 4.

    Looking at places to stay in the area and Haceta Beach RV sounded fun. Quite a bit out of Florence…read moreand narrow roads to get there. It may be great for those who want to get away from the busy life but we wanted to be closer to town. I think the bumpy road would be too difficult with an RV! Looks like they are doing road construction so it may get better. 3 stars because it is off the road to Haceta Beach. I had no internet at the park so I checked in on the road to it.
