Thoughts on: Forest Service vs State Park Campgrounds

After camping this week at South Beach State Park in Newport, Oregon, we talked about how we prefer National Forest Service campgrounds to Oregon State Park campgrounds in general. Here's why:
Oregon State Park campgrounds are massive. At South Beach there were 227 paved electrical hookup sites for RVs, camper vans, etc. There were 60 tent sites. Too many for our taste.
Oregon State Park campgrounds are more expensive. A tent site was $21 a night.
OR State Park tent sites seem to be deforested and very out in the open. Not very cool or interesting.
National Forest Service campgrounds are much smaller, more secluded, and every site is sightly different.
NFS campgrounds are cheaper, usually no more than $15 a night.

There were some pros to staying at South Beach however:
It was close to Newport and the aquarium, so it would be good for families.
The park had paved trails that led to the beach which was over 1/2 a mile away.
The park featured yurts that are available to rent. I stayed in a yurt on a class trip in middle school and they are a pretty cool affordable ($40) option for a family to stay in, and they now feature pet-friendly yurts at South Beach.
They featured decent newish bathrooms (not an outhouse) with running water, lights, walls, and separate showers (didn't use these so I can't speak to the state of them.)
