This is one of our favorite campgrounds: no cell phone coverage, no tv reception, no radio reception, lots of vegetation and quiet. The other review of this site is accurate but we love it anyway. Beach access is by either walking across highway 101 at the campground entrance OR by using the trail located at the far end of the campground that follows a creek under the highway to a secluded spot on the beach. Camp host was great. Neighbors have always been great. We love this place. We have a 27 foot fifth wheel and had no trouble parking in any site we've used. I can see how bigger rigs would be more of a challenge. My wife joked that we should say that this campground is terrible so people won't come and we can have it to ourselves. But we can't do that. There are no reservations at this campground - so come early, pick a spot you can get into, and enjoy. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This park is located in a heavily wooded area on the east side of Hwy 101. There is easy access to the beach actross the highway. This park was apparently laid out before the days of bigger RV's. While the sites are very private many are hard to get into with anything over 30' and some don't accomodate slide outs. All sites require some leveling. Power is limted to 20 amps. The sewer hookups are the old obsolete unsanitary 90 degree fittings. Hopefully Oregon has put this park on the "update" list since it is in a great location. We camped here in a Motorhome.

A very nice campground with private sites that were a little closed in; tall bushes surrounded three sides of the sites. The campground was well maintained and very attractive. We would stay there again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Harbor Vista Campground was very pretty with lots of trees, great privacy between spacious sites and close drive to ocean. We were disappointed in how poorly the bathrooms were cleaned (if at all) in the week we spent there and we didn't appreciate having to pay 50 cents for a speedy 2 minute shower either. Pay phone didn't work very well (couldn't be heard talking) But the sites were very nice and quiet campground. Compared to other Oregon campgrounds we stayed in, we would return to Harbor Vista again. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.

We did not stay at this park but people should be aware of the somewhat deceptive cancellation policy. The web site says they charge a $10 reservation fee but we were charged $30 when we made the reservation. The extra $20 is the first night's camping fee. When I cancelled, 13 days ahead (one day short of the 14-day minimum) I was told that they would keep the $30. So, they kept the first night's camping fee even though we didn't camp and essentially charged us a $30 reservation fee. This is all clear in the fine print at the web site but many people might miss it. We camped here in a Motorhome.

I won't knock this park. It's above par compared to what else you'll find on the central coast. We have always had good experiences and have been lucky to not have noisy neighbors. Very convenient to the best beach access in the area. Sites tend to be a little narrow because of tall vegetation but it's right near the beach so I find it acceptable given the jungle like nature of the immediate area. Will stay there again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This park is operated by Lane County. Sites are all well separated and fairly level and vary from cozy to very roomy. Some sites have 50 amp power - all have 30 amp. The South Jetty Beach is only one mile away. This park is well off the main highway so it is very quiet. Reservations can be made but the fee to do so ($14.00) seems excessive. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Don't let the picture on the website fool you, it's still a good hike to the beach. Having said that, the campground was very nice with each site secluded from each other. We stayed in #28 and truly felt like we were the only ones in the park (we weren't of course). The mini mart on site is just that, mini. You can buy the bare essentials there. Staff was always really friendly. I would recommend straying away from the campground and exploring Highway 101. This section of road is incredible with many places to stop and take pictures. Florence is only about 5 minutes away. We would stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is an outstanding little park. We spent the previous 2 weeks at Harbor Vista and were glad to move to this park. The sites are long, wide, level and private. You can hear the soothing sounds of the ocean (especially at night). WI-FI has recently been installed and it works great. The owners are very friendly and helpful. We will plan to stay here every time we come through Florence. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Stayed there during a freezing rainstorm. The shower rooms were not heated! So much for a shower. Our campsite had garbage in its fire ring. The sites are so narrow it's difficult to hook up your rig without getting scratched by the bushes -- which are everywhere. They're creepy. Nice convenience store on site. If there is a staff, we didn't see anyone. Ocean is "7-minute walk" away. We didn't see Heceta Beach. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Not a destination resort, but convenient to Florence. Just a short walk to the beach, and you can hear the waves crashing on the shore at night. The sites are close together, with tall bushes between each site. Big rigs or motorhome plus toad will have a hard time with the tight turns. A bit pricey considering there are other parks closer to Old Town Florence, but we were there for the Chowder Festival and got the last RV site for the weekend. Verizon cell service at one bar. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

If you want to be close to the beach and that's the most important thing, then this is a good place. You don't have a beach view, but it's just a short walk to the beach. The park is somewhat cramped and cumbersome to maneuver through, but I have been in worse. When you enter the park, the "Check in line" is a very sharp hard left turn. (There is a second entrance that is easier, if you know about it ahead of time.) On the other hand, the RV spaces are long, and can accommodate big rigs. There were a lot of "big rigs" here during my stay. I would have loved to see how they maneuvered around and got into their spaces as it was difficult with my 30 foot. The spaces are close together, but there is some attempt at privacy by having very tall shrubs and trees between the spaces. My cat was entertained! Spots are gravel and mostly back-in with a few "pull-throughs." Each space has a picnic table and a small fire ring. Try to avoid getting placed in spots 41, 42, and 31, as those spaces are right next to the restrooms and people will walk through your site to go to the restrooms. Some spaces are full hookup to include cable, some are water and sewer (and cable) only. This park also has tent spaces if you have children who would like to have their own spot away from the adults! The laundry and restrooms were fairly clean, but not perfect. The laundry room is small (two washers two dryers) and during my stay, one of the washers was out of service. The state of Oregon emphasizes recycling, and this park had some recycle containers next to the garbage area. There is a pay phone available in case your cell phone provider doesn't cover this area. There is a fairly well stocked mini mart, but as mini marts go, it's over-priced as usual. Propane service is available, but I didn't check prices. The cable service is decent, and if you have a digital/high definition ready TV with you, you will also get the high definition stations and audio stations. As of this writing, this park does not have WiFi, but they have a modem hookup in a desk in the office. They supply the phone cable, you just hook up your computer and use your dial-up software. Staff is friendly and helpful! We camped here in a Motorhome.

We enjoyed our stay at this campground. The pull-thru site we were assigned to was long and level with 50 amp. The shrubbery between the sites makes a nice break with a feeling of privacy. The bushes, however, are overdue for trimming. They will soon affect the ability to get into some sites without damage to your coach. The ATV's were quiet and not a problem. We liked the access to Woahink Lake and the dunes. Being only 5 miles from Florence and Old Town was a plus. Unfortunately we needed some emergency medical care and were pleased to see that Florence has a hospital and good medical facilities and doctors. We think the nightly rate is a little high. We would stay here again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is a older park with heavy native type brush between spaces. Two plus blocks to ocean. Bathrooms cold, heat not turned on. Only two toilets and two showers per sex for whole park. Gravel roads and sites. No night security to stop fellow campers from drinking and hell raising all night. Wouldn't pull into park with big rig after dark because some turns are very tight. Bar across street. The managers were pleasant, and stated that they were new. We camped here in a Motorhome.

While there was vegetation between the sites, they were not all private. Noisy partyers at night, no enforcement. Trash/dumpsters not collected frequently enough. Store hours were not set up for campers; opened too late in the morning. Owner not that friendly. I know they were new owners. I challenge the 5 minute walk to the beach. Also, the winds make that trip nearly impossible at times. Would not return. We camped here in a Truck Camper.

Nice CG. 5 or so minute walk to beach. Privacy between sites. Some sites have only water & electricity. We had full hookups. Owners friendly & helpful. Restrooms clean with private showers. Quiet. Will stay again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Not a destination park. All interior roads and sites are gravel. Underbrush between all sites, but no overhead shade. In the busy summer season the office and store were not open at 8:30 am. Not within walking distance of beach. Other parks in the area did not look much better. New owners as of April 04. Appears to be just an overnight stop for many. Tents not allowed in RV sites as they have a separate section. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Nice well landscaped RV Park with green belts between sites! Has campfire rings, graveled roads and graveled sites. Across the road there is a full service bar that serves food as well. There is a mini mart at RV Park office. This is the first private RV Park that I have stayed in that actually has bears. I ran into one face to face one morning near site "E" and he went on his way with no harm done. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This is a huge park, but in June they had about half of it closed. Lots of sand dunes in the park. A lot of people using ATV's so it can be noising in parts of the campground. We enjoyed the park but if you don't want to be around tons of kids this isn't the place. Make sure you get to take a ride out on the dunes, that was a blast. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Park service was great, Rangers kept it under control. Lots to do for the kids. The bathrooms were sandy, and were dirty due to the sand. The showers had a lot of sand in them, so we used the trailer to shower. Have to hunt down full hook-ups. Otherwise it was easy to get a electric and water only. If I had to do over, I would stay in the State Park across the 101 from this, where it was not crowded with ATV's. Even though they are not allowed in the park, you could hear them all around the park, which got old real quick, especially if you wanted to read outside. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

You can not do better than this one. We camped here in a Motorhome.

You really get a lot of bang for your buck at Oregon state parks and this one is no exception. According to the park brochure there are 47 full hook-ups, 119 electrical sites, 191 tent sites, 10 yurts, a group site and a hiker/biker camp. The main draw here is the Oregon Dunes National Recreation Area. If you are not fond of ATVs you may not like staying here as you will not be able to get entirely away from the noise, but the park does a good job of enforcing the rules and has a separate loop where ATVs are not allowed. For those who want more quiet activities there are 3 small fresh water lakes and lots of trails to explore. Oregon state parks have "shoulder season" rates and they are a real deal. Our fee of $17 was for a full-hook-up site. We also really appreciate that the park supplies a large garbage disposal area that also has bins for recycling just about anything - aluminum, tin cans, glass, plastic containers and paper. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Wonderful place to stay. It's close to a really nice beach, shops, and tourist attractions. Even though it's about 1 block off Hwy 101, there's almost no road noise. Exceptionally clean inside and out ! Manager is super nice and very helpful. No amenities, such as pool or store, but you can walk to a store and with the ocean minutes away there's everything you'd want ! I would stay here again. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Easy access for big rig with dingy. Courtesy service. Excellent experience. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Big paved parking lot. Sites big-rig friendly. Clean, secure, free wifi worked well. Close to beach. No playground or pool. Friendly staff. Shopping nearby. We camped here in a Motorhome.

A very clean park, with excellent friendly hosts, and great clean bathrooms. The only negative thing is no picnic tables at individual sites. Access was very easy - we will be back!! We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Easy to get in and out of, very large, true pull-thrus. But it is a "parking lot" RV park. No scenery to see in the park. If you are just looking for a place to sleep each night after a day of sight seeing this will be great. We probably wouldn't stay here again, unless it was just for a quick over night stay. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We stayed at this park over Memorial Day weekend. The office staff were friendly and were able to direct us to local attractions. They even recommended good restaurants. They had a BBQ for the camp guests and provided hamburgers, potato salad, and beans. There was a community fire pit and a good time was had by all. The bathrooms were spotless. They had a doggy area in a wooded area and it was clean too. We will plan on returning to this park. We camped here in a Motorhome.

The new owners are starting slowly to upgrade this park. Sites are level, wide, and long with limited visual separation between sites. The office staff was very friendly and helpful. Centrally located for all the Florence attractions. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is a nice clean park. It is really just a big paved parking lot. Streets are paved and are wide. Sites are paved and level. There is a narrow strip between the sites with unmaintained shrubs and bushes. The park is big rig friendly. There were a lot of cable TV channels. There were no trees to get in the way of satellite dishes. Wifi worked good and was fast. It is probably the best park in Florence unless you are looking for a rustic campground. We would stay there again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

No place for pets. It's a parking lot with a few shrubs thrown in around your site. There is no grass anywhere, so pets have a tough time. No tables outside your site. The office staff is very good. The campground is clean, but it isn't hard to keep a parking lot clean. We camped here in a Motorhome.

As others have said, there is a lot of concrete there. The staff are friendly and helpful. The landscaping is fairly new and immature but will be a welcome addition. The sites are decently sized although a bit close together. WIFI is there and free, but a bit temperamental. Will stay there again on the way through. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

Acres of concrete with islands of rhodedendrons, coastal folage between between sites. Pet exercise area. Main park attraction is location on north end of town and low winter monthly rate of $275 plus $15/month for pet and metered electricity. Security gates. RV storage also available. Exercise room with deteriorating equipment. Free WiFi. Lived there full time mid Feb. to mid March 2006. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This park is mostly concrete with minimal vegetation areas to provide site separation. It has very little character being in the midst of storage yards and mini-warehouses. On the plus side however are level sites, good security, functioning hook-ups and a central location. Recreational opportunities on site are non-existent. If you like rules you'll love this place. They are numerous and posted everywhere. All in all an OK stopover. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Your basic paved park with a couple of short shrubs between sites. Very clean and lots of rules. A code is required to access the bathroom/shower/exercise room after hours. Those who check in after the office closes don't get the code. Even with the code, access was difficult because the lighting was so poor it was nearly impossible to see the numbers and punch the correct ones. The showers themselves were nice, but there is a community dressing area, not a private one. The exercise room has several antiquated pieces of cardio equipment. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Nice, clean, family run RV park. The owners care about the property and it shows. Located on Highway 101 about 5 miles south of Florence. The dunes are within walking distance. No real views but a good place to stay while exploring the area. Would definitely return. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We stayed here just one night and then moved to the Elks club in Florence. It was OK, but WiFi is important to us and, although they say they have it, it doesn't work unless you take your laptop to the office. It is about 5 miles south of Florence and very quiet. Otherwise not much to do. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Surprisingly nice place just outside the sand dunes, and about a minute south of Sand Dunes Frontier (which is a great place to go if you don't have your own equipment). The couple who run the place are extremely friendly and helpful, and keep it very clean and neat, with good landscaping, even though the park is not inherently pretty. The people staying there were very nice as well, and despite the folks in the back (by the dunes) all having ATVs--this is one of the few parks that has direct access to the dunes--people all followed the rules regarding ATV use and noise, and the park was quiet in the evening. We all enjoyed climbing the safe path to the dunes in the evening and playing in the sand after our afternoon at Sand Dunes Frontier. We'd stay here again rather than try other places. I docked them one point for not providing paper towels or dryers and soap in the bathrooms (hey, charge an extra buck and provide some soap and a hand drier for the toilets!). We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Nice laundry room, game room, and plenty of space. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

The people in the office are exceptionally friendly and helpful to guests. The sites vary quite a bit in terms of separation and level. Overall they are better than most. The park shows a little bit of it's age in terms of hook-ups and facilities but everything works and is clean. If ATV's annoy you don't stay here. With direct dune access there, most of the sites are filled with four-wheelers. The park does a good job keeping joy riding in the park in check. Overall the park is better than many in the Florence area. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This RV park was reccomended by local business. I called before arriving to make sure they had room and directions. Very friendly staff and location is fantastic, would stay here again! We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Owners are super people. They make your stay very pleasant. Close to the Dunes and activities. Have direct access to Dunes. Lake across the road for fishing. The reason we stayed there was that we got a flat tire across from their enterance. They bent over backwards to help us get our tire repaired and us back on the road. We camped here in a Motorhome.

An excellent private park 4 miles south of Florence. Fishing available, sand dune accessible, Laundry room. Friendly owners/managers. A place to go on a repeat basis. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Great place to stay. They have private access to the dunes and across the street access to the lake for fishing. The owners are extremely freindly and very friendly! The only drawback is the sites are all gravel, not bad when you consider there is sand everywhere due to the dunes. I would definitely go back. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Loved this park! Ken and Katie, the owners, are trying very hard to give everyone a good experience here. They back directly onto the dunes which is lovely, and are across the street from and have access to a lovely lake. Modem access in the rec room. Large, spacious sites. Good for Big Rigs. Nice area to explore. We camped here in a camper.
