1 night at The Retreat at Cannon Beach
it was clean, very cozy, the shower was hot with great water pressure. the kitchen sink is tiny and challenging to wash dishes in. all and all was pretty good. but the sleeping quarters were tight--not much clearance for those sleeping on the bottom bunk (full size bed), since the top bunk was so low. weird design i guess, especially since there's tons of room/vaulted ceiling above the top bunk. was a little hard for my partner and i to sleep in. we did love the elk who came through and the wetlands/creek right in the campground. we didn't use the sauna or other facilities so can't speak to that.

We really loved the location! We were able to walk into town and the beach. The facility itself was cute. We didn’t spend much time there because we were in town. Since we went on a warm Feb weekend, the place was pretty empty which we liked. The spots look pretty close to each other. It was a bit wet as well and we saw a lot of puddles. I am sure it’s amazing during the summer!

Comfortably and cozy for two ppl. Short drive to beach and downtown. Very thoughtful staff, they called me to update about the room access during off hours. Basic Kitchen space and equipment is available. Bathroom was comfortable for us, but if anyone is above 6’2” might have to hunch during shower. We are two ppl with one dog.

This camp was a great home base for exploring the Puget Island area. We brought our kayaks and paddled to Coffee Pot Island. We also brought the bikes for a lovely ride. The camp had everything we needed. It was so nice to be right on the water. The hosts were welcoming and helpful.

We found the site to be perfectly as advertised and lovely. The local deer are adorable and don’t seem to mind the company. The riverside location provides a great breeze and an active and diverse bird habitat. Camp hosts Mike and Marie are friendly as can be, and the sites are maintained well with plenty of activity options. 10/10 would recommend and book again

3 nights at West Sunny Sands Beach Campsites
I loved that they had a few options of games to play, badminton and corn hole are the two I can remember. I appreciate that there is 2 porta potties on site so if there were campers at the second plot there wasn't waiting to use the rest room. It's really close to town (8min) if you happen to forgot anything but still really quiet at the camp, I heard birds I've never had encountered before. I was also excited to find out that 2 min down the road is a ferry to Orgeon!
