peaceful creekside retreat
This was the perfect spot for us to get away for the weekend with our two mutts. It's like a campground site - (gas) firepit, picnic table, parking pad, and porta-potty - made for just a single set of campers. No neighbors, no wandering dogs, or noise from surrounding camps. Just shady peace & quiet, with the creek accessible down the driveway and across the not-very-busy road. The spot is up against a fern-covered slope and surrounded by dense trees, too, so you can sleep in without getting roasted in your tent!
Keep going up the 241 and you'll hit a couple of great & easy hikes at the Silver & Golden Falls state park. Coos Bay is close by; make sure you get over the bridge before heading inland to the spot.
When I booked, I got a fire ban notice that extended to cook stoves & gas rings, which was above and beyond the current mandate, but I contacted Coty about that and it turns out that it was fine. They had a very nice gas fire ring there and we only needed to bring our propane tank. Check the fire regs & contact the host, so you know what to expect.
Great host, lovely spot to kick back & relax. We'll definitely be back and recommend this place, if you are looking for some downtime!
