Great Sites on River 18 Miles from Tillamook Bay
This is a great site if you like "rustic" (which we do) since the sites are walk in-only. Adorable sites with picnic tables, fire rings and just enough privacy. One of the closest campgrounds in Tillamook Forest to both Tillamook Bay and the Forestry Center (totally worth a stop), this has about a dozen first-come, first-served sites for just $10. We were there on a coolish Saturday night and a ton of people rolled in about 4/5pm. I'm guessing in summer you'd have to get here much earlier to grab a spot. Nice exploring in the area and a great river with swimming areas when it's warmer.
