We loved this campground! The comments saying it is clean and well-maintained are not overstating it - by far the cleanest bathrooms of any site I've ever visited. Firewood is available to purchase for $9/bundle. One thing to note is not all the sites are set up the same way. Our tent attaches to the back of our SUV and we were lucky that our site worked out that we could do that - some sites have parking arranged to where that isn't possible. Our site was encircled by trees and felt private and separate from the surrounding campgrounds, but in reality all campgrounds are pretty close together. You can see/hear people walking by on the road. We did the hike from the campground to the Alder Dunes then around to the Holman Vista Day Use area, and from there connected to the Baker Beach trail to get to the Pacific Ocean. It was 7 miles round trip and mostly flat until you get to the dunes. We'll definitely be back! What a lovely stay at a charming and well-maintained campground.

The dense vegetation makes for alot of sites with excellent privacy, Also flush toilets and sinks in the restrooms. No showers though, but that's forest service normal.
