Shady and cool

This is one of our favorite campgrounds, very similar to Thousand Trails Pacific City. We stay three nights from June 18th through 21st, 2020, at campsite E136, the stay was free due to our Thousand Trails membership. Our site had electricity and water hook up. The site was level and easy to back in to. 

Our site was very private with trees and bushes between our site and neighbors on each side. The E loop bathhouse was two spots down and up a flight of stairs. We were a couple of spaces from the dog run. The campground was at sea level and just a mile or so from Florence, Oregon, and a mile from the Oregon Dunes Recreation area. Once we entering the campground, the campground roads are all gravel, however we found the layout and map to be confusing as we got of directions down. 

This is a very quiet campground, activities were minimal due to Covid-19 restrictions. We are looking forward to coming back post Covid-19 to take advantage of the closed outdoor pool, hot tub and clubhouse. The campground had clean showers, plenty of hot water and not more than a 2 minute walk from our campsite. 

There are two dump stations at the exit of the campground, easy to maneuver into. My wife and I enjoyed the campground, we took a trip to Heceta Lighthouse for the day, geocached and hiked around the lighthouse. 

On Sunday when we were leaving South Jetty we passed Dan and Jen Nevada, from YouTube notoriety. They were arriving at South Jetty and scoping out their site, Jen gave us their sticker and business card.  Their Youtube site is https://www.youtube.com/user/flyfishnevada/videos
