Overview

About this park

Eel Creek Campground sits among coastal shrubbery on the edge of the sandy dunes of Oregon Dunes National Recreation Area.

Most of the 38 sites are secluded and private due to dense shrubbery like rhododendrons and Salal. Sites 7, 8, 42 and 43 are perched on the sand of the dunes.

A campground host is on hand and an amphitheater sits between the two loops. Hikers and birders are attracted to the peaceful atmosphere of the campground.
