Tahkenitch Campground

How does a serene escape into coastal forests alongside sweeping sand dunes sound? Tahkenitch Campground, located in the Oregon Dunes National Recreation Area, offers 30 secluded campsites nestled under towering Douglas firs, just 8 miles north of Reedsport. With no modern distractions like electric hookups, this intimate, no-frills campground appeals to nature enthusiasts seeking true tranquility, where the only sounds may come from swaying trees or nearby wildlife.

Directly accessible from the campground, three hiking trails—Threemile Lake Trail, Tahkenitch Dunes Trail, and Threemile Lake South Trail—guide you through verdant forests, expansive dunes, and onto a pristine Pacific beach. Across the road, Tahkenitch Lake—a 2,118-acre expanse teeming with fish like trout, bass, and perch—beckons anglers and paddlers alike. This area is rich with wildlife, with sightings of bald eagles, Roosevelt elk, and sea lions adding to the allure.

Conveniently situated along Highway 101, Tahkenitch Campground serves as an excellent base for day trips in the area. Whether for a weekend getaway or an extended outdoor adventure, it offers privacy, connection to nature, and close proximity to the stunning natural attractions of the Oregon coast.
