Kilchis River Campground

We stayed 2 nights at this Tillamook County Park in early June 2023 and hardly anyone was camping here. 2 camp hosts on duty that were super friendly and nice...It was located inland 5 miles up the Alderbrook Road to Kilchis River Road. In a canyon for 5 miles passing first dairy farms then residential homes.
This park/campground is very green and lush with large Sitka Spruce, Red Alder, and Big Leaf Maple trees. And ferns everywhere.

There is a picnic grounds and day use area (with a swimming hole for summer use) just below the campground loop.
Gravel roads and dirt sites. No hook ups but there is a dump station, water spigots, and 2 bathroom houses, 1 has coin operated hot showers. Also trash dumpsters available. Everything was neat, tidy, clean and looked new.
Definitely enjoyed our stay in the off season ( summer we hear is very crowded and noisy)

We camped here a few years ago - really nice camp hosts. We did not have cell and were trying to let our sister & her husband know where we were & what site we were in (not that the campground was very busy as this was after Labor Day & towards the end of the season), so the camp host let us use their phone to connect and even saved the site next to us. This is a perfect place for families as it has a large grassy area, a playground and a beach with access to the river. The water is incredibly clear and is slow enough at the access to be safe (seasonally I am sure). The view of the mountains was awesome and there is a hiking trail as well. Our sister & her husband loved it so much they returned the next year. A bit of a windy road getting in, but not bad. Dry camping, but we had sun for our solar, there were restrooms & showers. Our old Lab loved the water and we loved our time here :)
