I so ook forward to coming back to this campground. It’s situated by the Siltcoos River and about a mile from the ocean. It gets busy on the weekend but is quite quiet during the week. The $11 fee was with my discount - regular price is $22.
There are many trails for hiking, one of which has a spectacular overlook view of the river and ocean together (with benches) - the Waxmyrtle Trail which can be accessed from the front of the campground or by site #16. It’s also accessible from the sandy beach trail which follows the east border of the campground. Across the road there are the Lagoon Trail and Chief Tsiltcoos Trail. Across highway 101 is the Siltcoos Lake Trail for a 3 1/2 mile hike. There are a number of “walk-in” sites available. I recommend going early in the week to get the better sites. Only negative is several site pads are bumpy and not level.
People kayak the river, and fish. There are so many different habitats for birds and wildlife so bird or wildlife watching is very rewarding. I’m a birder and I was thrilled with the variety.
Biking on the roads is fun here and, if you are an experienced mountain biker try the Siltcoos Lake Trail (across 101).
There are OHV opportunities at the beach. Be aware of area restrictions during Snowy Plover nesting season.
There are bathrooms without showers as well as water spigots in several spots. Driftwood II campground’s showers are out of order at this time.

I did not experience a quiet stay. I experienced screaming and crying children and adults who were constantly yelling. I was booked for five days but left after 1 night. AT&T cell service limited to 1 bar. The constant roar of ORV.
Nice surroundings, beach, and trails. The campground host was friendly. I will give it another try.

This is a nice quiet Campground. Hosts were very nice and helpful. There are restrooms with no showers, however showers are available a short distance down the road at another Campground. Our site was level but some of the sites in this park are not as level as I would like. Nice park for bird watching and looking for wildlife. I saw deer every morning and otter once. This Campground is near another campground that is used by four wheelers. The engine sounds could be heard, usually in the early evening. I use Verizon and only got voice service.

comment. Paved sites fairly level. Verizon signal spotty with best reception before 7 AM. My rate of $11.00 was with the use of my Senior Pass, otherwise would have been $22.00 CG has trails to the beach, and to other CG trails across the street. Great place to view wildlife. And only 7 miles to Florence for all your supplies.
