Heading up from Newport and would appreciate any comments about the campground and area

Do you mean Sand Lake CG? It is an big ORV spot. Good spot for that, but I wouldn't camp there if I wasn't there to ride the dunes.

Whalen Island county park is close by. It's a small county campground -no ORV's - quiet, but no services. It's too much money for what it is, but the location is real neat. You're on a small island with a nature trail and a small day use area. A constructed narrow spit of land connects the "island" to the mainland.

Cape Lookout State Park is just north of Sand Lake. They have electricity and water - showers in the rest rooms. It's a pretty area, but every time I've been there it's been windy and/or foggy. there's real nice hiking trail on a ridge that juts out in the the ocean in the Cape Lookout Trail. (The trail is 3 miles away from the campground.)
