Road Noise!

General: 95-site state park campground with a mix of tent sites (no hookups) and water/electric in two loops– upper and lower. There are a couple of long pull-thrus, but the rest are back in. We had originally reserved a tent site but upon arrival, we were dismayed to discover it backed up to Route 101 with just small Brush Creek as a buffer and the road noise was loud. I asked the camp host if we could switch sites (this was one of the first Oregon state parks we have seen this trip that was not completely full) and he told me I would have to speak with a ranger and changes could not be made online. Fortunately, I was able to track down a ranger (who was very accommodating) and we switched to a w/e site for an additional fee. There was still road noise in this site but not quite as bad. You would be hard-pressed to be in any site that did not have some road noise. 

Site Quality: All have paved camper pads and were level. Varying amount of privacy between sites. 

Bath/Shower House: Only two in the campground so depending on where your site is located, you may have a bit of a walk. The bathhouse in the upper loop (where we ended up) was newer with all-in-one units, and three private shower rooms in addition to a men’s and women’s restroom. The shower had nice hot water. 

Activities: We chose this campground since we wanted to hike the Humbug Mountain trail. Downed trees from storms closed the eastern route so you could not do a loop hike when we were there. You can go up the western side to the top and then descend the same way. Views were better en route; at the top, we could not see much (but there was still smoke in the air from an in-land fire). You also have access to the Oregon Trail and there is a trail to the beach, although it is a rocky beach. It was nice to escape the smoke and watch the crashing waves for a while.
