A big plus is that the park is family-run by a husband/wife team who are very accommodating. They charge by the number of guests visiting but that covers the water, electricity that you will be using while there so I think that is fair. They offer clean restrooms and showers and a small laundry room (bring your quarters - $1.75 to wash/$2 to dry), plus a dog park, covered picnic pavilion, BBQ, and sink for cleaning fish. There is daily ice delivery for a small fee and the owner delivered a free cool treat to the kids (with parent's permission) one hot Saturday afternoon. It truly felt like we were in a rustic resort. The RV sites are lined up somewhat close to each other but offer enough room and privacy to make it comfortable. The park is very quiet and you will find it silent at night. You will not find tent camping here, nor will you find long-term RV tenants. The grounds are clean and rustic but well kept. We met many nice families, many who are locals who visit this park to get away from their coastal towns. The river access is by rocky boat ramp, though a rustic dirt path that lead down to the river, or by another boat ramp that was unpaved. The river had shallow rocks to sit on and sunbathe or wade out around and was deeper in the center. Small kids could play, find tadpoles, fish, swim, or kayak safely near the shore. We also noticed a few adults fishing too. It was fun playing on the river and the owners have a few tubes and kayaks to use but I recommend you bring your own river "toys" to guarantee you have what you need for your enjoyment. Also there are no close-by stores, so pack up all the food and supplies that you need for your trip and prepare to be off the grid for your visit. There is no camp store or café on site. Spotty cell reception only allowed us to receive and send a few texts. As others have said, do not expect Wi-Fi or cable here. Overall, two nights were not enough as we had such a good time on the river. If it wasn't so far away from home, we would definitely make this a regular summer destination.

We rented the cabin as relatives stayed in the RV park and had the best time which was aided by the owner, who was super helpful. The cabin is isolated from the rv's in an open field next to some shady trees. It features four twin beds (2 up in a loft). There is a couple of chairs, shelfs, a heater, a usb port for mild charging, a swing on the porch a gas bbq and a firepit with some wood and kindling. They thoughtfully provide a few odds and ends such as lighter fluid, briquets and bug spray (that was not needed). It's clean and functional and perfect for a weekend of roughing it, without sleeping on the ground. The owner called it a tent when we booked it, which is not the case. I'm sure he was setting our expectations so not to expect a standard motel accommodation. It was plenty warm at night and all the windows captured the breeze in the day. Also, bring your own pillows and sleeping bags. The only negative is the bathroom which is an outhouse across the field. The normal bathrooms with showers are about a 3 minute walk into the RV park. They are very clean and the hot water just keeps coming! This is where there is a laundry room (don't forget to bring quarters) and a great fish cleaning sink. Once again, they provided some helpful stuff here. The RV spots are pull through with a picnic table and a full hookups overlooking the river. This proximity cannot be understated as it is beautiful. It is quiet as well, great place to get your fish gear together and watch the running water. There is no separation between the spots, so friendly conversations with your neighbor is a sure bet. There is a lighted common picnic area and shade cover with a bbq provided as well as a corn-hole pitch game. We are planning on coming back next year with a large group and using this as a gathering place. Plenty of safe areas for kids to swim as well as great fishing. Our group caught a load of fish the first day from canoes. I think there is some equipment you can rent here. There is a small boat launch and ample parking for day guest. Our large group cannot say enough good things about the hands-on owner of the resort. He comes by occasionally to check that all is well. He provided river whistles (a requirement when tubing in Oregon) and a couple of life jackets as we ran short. We understand the prior owner was more laid back and some of the camp got run down. That is not the case now, as everything was in great shape. By the way, cell services is really spotty here, so don't plan on being connected to your social media. Just enjoy the river.

There are two campground loops with a total of 37 camp sites and a day use parking lot area. The campground has a set of bathrooms with flush toilets and running water. No showers though. I believe if you need a shower you can go down the road a couple of miles to Turman state park and pay for a shower. The camp sites vary in size and are paved. They can accommodate a pretty good size trailer or RV and maybe another vehicle and ATV's. You can make reservations at Recreation. Gov and I definitely recommend doing so. The place fills up quick during the spring and summer. The rate is $20 per night. There are no electrical hook ups here or sewer dumps. The great thing about this location is the direct dune access. It's just through the parking lot and up a short dune road and you are there. It is at the northern most end of the Oregon Dunes National Recreation Area that is open to OHV use between Horsfall and Spinreel. There is an ATV rental place at the end of the road and they sell ice, ATV permits and some ATV parts and the town of Lakeside is very close by which has a hotel, a couple restaurants and a grocery store.
