Kayakers and anglers find direct water access at Devil's Lake State Recreation Area Campground, where a boat dock extends into the 678-acre freshwater lake. The campground sits within Lincoln City limits, making it one of the few spots where campers can paddle non-motorized watercraft while staying walking distance from restaurants and supply runs.
The 54-site campground operates year-round with full hookups available for RVs up to 62 feet, though several reviewers mention sites can flood during Oregon's rainy season. Kyle notes the campground "feels like you're in the woods" despite its urban proximity, with enough mature trees to provide separation from the commercial development just outside the entrance. Sites cluster fairly close together, and the internal loop road sees regular foot traffic from early morning walkers and families with children on bikes.
Wildlife viewing opportunities abound, with deer, ducks, geese, and nutria regularly spotted from campsites. The lake supports fishing, though swimming access is limited to the dock area. Ocean access requires a 15-minute walk across Highway 101 to Lincoln City's beaches. Hot showers, flush toilets, and an outdoor dishwashing sink serve all campers, while the hiker-biker area offers budget camping on a small hillside patch near the entrance.
Campers should expect some road noise from nearby Highway 101 and occasional party activity, as the location attracts both tourists and locals. The campground enforces a no-generator policy, and firewood is available on-site. Sites in the back sections toward the trees tend to be quieter than those near the entrance or walking paths. For additional options in the area, consider camping spots outside Lincoln City. The combination of lake access, full amenities, and town proximity makes this a practical base camp for families and RV travelers prioritizing convenience over solitude.
Description
As the only Oregon coast campground located in the midst of a city, Devil’s Lake Campground is the perfect base camp for exploring Lincoln City’s shopping, beaches and restaurants. D River State Recreation Site is just a 10 minute walk away, over a boardwalk through the wetland and across Hwy 101.
While none of the campsites have a lake view, a wide trail leads to a fishing dock. Boat moorage docks are adjacent to the campground, but the campground does not have a boat launch; boaters must launch from one of the other access points.
