Cook Creek

Nice camping site and well maintained. We used #5 camping designated place . Very recommended for campers and rv

We stayed in site #1 Nice little walk down to the creek! Found some cool rocks and gems! Site 1 & 2 are right next to each other but there was no one in 2. Other sites looked bigger but were occupied. Beautiful trees along the drive! We did get rained on but we were prepared! Also rode on the rope swing

Camped at Site 4 and it was easily one of the most gorgeous dispersed sites I’ve ever stayed at. Sites 4 and 5 looked the best to me…super quiet, very casual, no service, and plenty of access to trails and nearby creeks. It felt remote without being hard to get to since the road was really well maintained. I’ve seen some reviews about litter but this area was impressively clean. Fire pit was in good shape too. Overall just an insanely beautiful, peaceful spot.

We got here late on a Saturday, but luckily there were still a few spots. Most spots are adjacent to the creek which is very nice. Though there was a lot of atv traffic.

Stayed here in 2020 (I think?) late summer. Beautiful walks down to the creek, and beautiful scenery. But not much otherwise as far as trails or things to pass the time nearby. Obviously, there are coastal sites to drive to, but nothing immediate. Maybe I didn't explore it well enough?

Late season (September) but still pretty busy. Fire restrictions in place. We lucked out because we got here early in the day. Beautiful, spacious, private, no frills - disappointed to find the fire pit full of trash, but otherwise clean. Sweet hike down to the river - absolutely gorgeous! ❤️

Beautiful spot to stay for the week! There are only about 5 spots total and the whole place was full when we pulled in on Saturday night so we slept on a turn out and we were able to find a spot in the morning after some other campers had cleared out. We stayed in spot #4 which was a massive group camping spot, luckily since we were there during the week it was pretty quiet and we had it all to ourselves. Spot had access to a small creek (not the main cook creek) and a tire swing. Lots of flat space to park and set up tents. We parked our bus on top of the hill in a clearing so we had plenty of solar power and internet access with our starlink. There is no cell service and no amenities; be sure to pack in and pack out everything. Overall, great place to stay and definitely fills up fast on the weekends so get there early.

Large sites that would could host several tents. Creek is just 100ft away. Really close to main road so can be dusty and not super private

Camped out for a night in designated camp site #3. Lots of room for Cars and a couple spots to pitch a tent. A bit rocky, but we used shovel to dig out a more comfortable spot. Fire pit with grill is provided.

Lots of trash around, unfortunate to see, seems like the reviews in the past that this is a common theme around here. We did our best to clean up.

Great experience would recommend. Please clean up your trash if you are staying in this area.

Happy camping!

A few miles a long gravel road leads you to a handful of large sites. These had fire pits and pull throughs. No cell service. Kind of creepy late at night until you begin to see the sites. They were all relatively clean. Only one other camper near. We stayed at site 3 which had a trail leading down to the creek. Attached ropes to help you get up/down. Would stay here again for sure. Arrived at sundown and left at sunrise so didn’t have time to explore. About 45 minutes from Cannon Beach.

We scored the most beautiful spot last week, designated spot #5. It is very private and there is a short walk (2-3min) down to your very own private part of the river. There was a very clear beautiful pool of water in the center and rapids/rocks on both sides for exploring. Unfortunately, we were so disappointed to see how people have trashed this incredible place. The amount of human waste was absolutely horrifying. We did our best to clean up trash and used buckets of dirt to cover the unmentionables. 😩 We also left our shovel and a note on wood in hopes that future camping at least bury their waste if they aren’t going to pack it out. Looking forward to going back in the off season in hopes of it not being as heavily used by assholes. There was also a quite a bit of traffic on the road but that was to be expected in such a popular location.

We spent only one night here (approx. 45°41'49.5"N 125°44'18.1"W) in a lovely clearing featuring a metal fire ring. Sites are designated, but free for use up to 14 days. Lots of fishing accessible along Cook Creek. Road is dirt/gravel and currently ends about 3.5 miles in due to "flooding damage" which takes the form of several very large boulders blocking the way. Our intention was to go for another 1.5 miles or so, but we were very happy with the site we found. We will definitely return!

Designated dispersal camping is a great idea - no loud neighbors within at least a couple wooded blocks between each site. You get large, open circles of bare ground at Cook Creek, each with a fire ring. The 5 sites are a tad bit off the road... good. The trees, hills and water are all luxurious. There are boulders blocking the road after site 5. You can walk around them, though presumably the road is flooded out, making the other sites unreachable. Would be interesting to explore.
