23 sites now available, excellent stay as stated in previous reviews, but we also caught great weather, clear, and calm winds. Drove in from Ferndale and out to 101 through Redway. Too tight of switch backs for long rigs or trailers either way. Recommend bring your own firewood

Stayed for two days to relax a bit while heading south after crossing the alcan. Was an awesome site for only 8$ a night. Sites weren’t level whatsoever but there were bathrooms and trash. I got a spotty 1-2 bars of service while walking to the beach on the north walking path. A galore of fire wood and provided fire rings for fires. The lighthouse up the beach was a 3.7 mile walk one way to the south and well worth it in my opinion, lots of elephant seals chillin on the beach as well.

For fellow overland peeps I noticed a road off to the south before camp that was labeled Windy Road 4x4 recommended but didn’t check it out while I was there, possible dispersed camping options.

Amazing campground right by the beach - established sites with benches and fire pits. Also pit toilets. Self check in with payment envelopes, $8 a night. Absolutely stunning location, wish we could’ve stayed a little longer! No water available so bring lots. Sites aren’t very private. Hikes available to see elephant seals (tides permitting). Road in not bad for a service road, just one bridge with big rocks but fine if you take it slow. Some pesky squirrels!

the campground is open! theres still some renovations going on towards the entrance (i think weekdays), which can be a little noisy at times if youre on that end of the campground. Also i think its currently blocking campsites 1 & 2, which are the large rig spots. The rest is good to go!

Road out there is horrible. Washboard, washed out and a tree blocking part of it
Completely wasted trip - the entire campground is now dug up and it’s a dust bowl. Don’t bother!

Beautiful spot but most of the campground was closed to renovation that started the same day we arrived. Suppose to last all summer of 2023. Lots of construction vehicles and materials around

Absolutely great place to camp. Lots of vans I’m on motorcycle today. No way to pay the $8 fee but that’s the cost. Really free today. Enjoy

Cheap spot at the end of a dirt road. Right on the lost coast which is nice and beach is a 2 minute walk away. Campsites are close together though and it was very windy the night I was there. 7/10, extra points for being so cheap

Not great views cause ur p much surrounded by dunes and fog. Parking lot vibes. Circle dirt lot, one after another. No privacy. Yes the camp host also keeps that generator going outside their storage contain home(?) wouuuld not stay again, although the river to the beach was very pretty. I didn’t walk all the way out to the beach. Also big crazy fly bugs hhahaha

Lovely. Drive in from north side was fine. No cell whatsoever. Starlink works well. $8 per day still.

Believe it or not there really is an established campground down these roads haha! When we pulled up there were many tents and rigs of travelers and coastal hikers. $8 payment to a drop box just to keep the place looking beautiful.

Visited mid-week and the campground was only half full. Met a pleasant family the next morning. It is hard to get back here, but it is worth it to get away.

Second time at this great site. Generally pretty quiet here and the road getting in isn’t bad

Spent 2 nights. Park half full. Windy at times. May have seen 2 sea otters at
Mouth of lagoon. Fire wood on beach. Keep in mind this is also a trailhead for a well used coastal trail. I have a vw westy. Good site for me. Road is what I would call very interesting. I

This is a very nice location and we mostly enjoyed our two nights here. There are cool beaches, hikes and views all around. We got lucky and found a spot in the mostly full campground when we pulled in on a Sunday night in March. Wonderful sounds of surf all night! On the down side: There were three large RV's that seemed to have long-term residents who may be working in the area. Multiple dogs were roaming the campground freely and our first night folks talked loudly and ran generators till 10:45pm. Others ran generators at 4:30 am. As it's a BLM campground, it seems a bit lawless. Never saw an authority or camp host. Bathrooms were a bit dirty, but did have some TP. No water or cell service here. A mixed bag in a great spot.

Great camping if you’re really a camper...no hook ups for RVs! $8 cash only for great sites on the Lost Coast trail head. Only 15 sites so it probably fills up. We got there early in the day from Shelter Cove, a 2-2.5 hour drive. There is no water and decent drop toilets. Can’t beat the price or location.

Beautiful spot right by the ocean. Road in is scenic but unpaved in sections, but very doable in our van (didn’t need the 4WD). Campground 50% full with mix of vans and tents / hikers.

Came here just to park and do a day hike on lost coast to the lighthouse and back. Road is gravel in most sections but pretty manicured. Able to park at the trailhead with no issues and no charge. Water is cut off at the trail head.

arrived on a Tuesday evening around 5:30 PM and campground was maybe have full. we took site 8, which in my opinion is the best site. beautiful views and not a lot of people. Well worth the $8 a night!

Road extremely poor to access (3 miles rough gravel, large area washed away!) but managed it in a 2wd van. Campsite still $8 a night but was full when we arrived. Trail heads and beach access from this area. Pit toilets for the campsite in the parking lot. None of the sites are shaded but all have fire rings and picnic tables. No water available.

Beautifully located at the beach and close to a lagoon with plenty of waterfowl. Excellent value at $8 per site.
