Beach walks, tidepool exploration, and bird- and marine-mammal watching are at their best as daytime crowds thin after summer, and the campground’s four small sites mean a quiet, intimate experience.

Natural Features and SceneryThe campground provides trail access to Baker Beach on the Oregon coast and Lily Lake to the east. The beach trail is steep and challenging. Reviewers note you'd have better luck bringing a horse. Ticks are common on nearby trails during warmer months. The small site count and forest setting make for a quiet base between two distinct water features: crashing surf to the west, still lake water inland.
