Manzanita Beach Spot

Camping directly on the Oregon coast without a reservation or fee sounds appealing until you consider the ambiguity: no posted signs prohibit camping here, but one reviewer notes the real possibility of being hassled depending on how visible your setup is. RVs are limited to 20 feet. A visitor center restroom sits across the street, and coffee shops are within walking distance, making this a workable overnight stop for those exploring camping near Manzanita. Ocean swimming is possible, and the beach supports fishing and biking. Keep a low profile and arrive with a plan for where to park.
