We stayed here as a meeting place for the family coming from the southern direction. The campground has many sections. One section, closest to the ocean is light on trees. We were further in and had great shade tress and some separation between sites. Many sites are what I would call "pairs" in that there are 2 sites very close to each other, and then the next site is somewhat separated. Ideal for families like ours coming in 2 RV's. I saw one site set up with 3 parking/hookup areas in a triangle (sites 62-62, I think) with a central patio area, ideal if you had 3 families all coming together. If you were given that site without being in a group, it would feel rather close. Check the map, and request the more isolated sites if you are traveling in one vehicle.
Many sites are pull-through.

There is a gorgeous tent-only area in a valley (the Bear's Meadow) behind the RV sites. Tent sites are nestled in the trees, mostly isolated from neighboring sites. A little hike to the facilities from there, but probably worth it.

Overall, the grounds are well maintained. Staff is helpful and friendly. Facilities were kept very clean, and functioning. I met a few long-term residents, but most sites are vacationers, like we were.

The area is isolated, overall, but you can go to town if the campground store does not have what you need. You are a 20-30 minute drive from Gold Beach. The beaches near the campground are easily walked to via a path, but you will cross Hwy 101, no path underneath or bridge over it. The local roads are very low traffic, so you can do a 15-20 miles biking loop through some hills and back, easily.

As a T-Mobile user, wifi turned out to be essential. It was a great signal at our site. Sufficient speed for doing emails and basic surfing. Not sure about streaming.

It is a great place to take the family. Nice balance of activities, facilities, and views. Still popular and well maintained as of June 2022. Note on T-Mobile cell service: I think the antenna may be at Port Townsend, so there is a great signal across the water when at the campground and the museum area. Some places of the island were dead zones.
