The park itself is very nice, with a great beach and nice trails. The average rating is because of the site we got. We were excited because we had secured a reservation for one of the so-called "coveted" beach sites. Unfortunately, there is no privacy at site #159. It is wide open with little shade and no separation from #157... more

We are from Oregon and, despite the great campgrounds in our state, have been coming to D.L. Bliss for five years. The campsites are, with few exceptions, beautiful. The upper campgrounds are roomier and nicer than the beach sites, and you are much less likely to be near a noisy group, who are few and far between to begin with.... more

I wished the park ranger or camp host... more

Do not go here until they fully replace the bear boxes with an updated design. Bears have been breaking into the boxes and stealing everyone's food. I know because they did it to me. Also, they have broken into cars where people left food. At a minimum, take some strong wire with you and wire the box shut as a... more

Great campsites - many with a touch of privacy. Hot showers, pristine beach, gorgeous views, all with the crackle of a bugless night campfire.Some sites can be quite a walk down to the beach, but there is parking down there for those so inclined. Our site was the in 'middle' grouping (based on distance to the beach) and was about... more
