Best Tent Camping near Adair Village, OR

1,091 Reviews

Tent campsites near Adair Village, Oregon provide access to diverse camping landscapes including forest settings, mountain terrain, and riverside locations. Several established tent campgrounds are located within reasonable driving distance, including Marys Peak Campground in the Siuslaw National Forest and Alsea Falls Recreation Site, both offering primitive tent camping options with basic amenities. Big Elk Campground provides another option for tent campers seeking a more secluded forest experience, while Forest Road 51 near Beaver Creek offers dispersed camping opportunities for those wanting a more primitive experience.

Most tent-only areas feature basic amenities with varying levels of development. Vault toilets are available at most established campgrounds including Marys Peak and Big Elk, but dispersed sites typically lack facilities. Fire rings and picnic tables are common at designated campgrounds, though seasonal fire restrictions may apply during summer months. Water availability varies significantly by location, with Alsea Falls providing drinking water while Marys Peak requires campers to bring their own. A visitor commented that Marys Peak "is one of the most primitive campgrounds I've seen" with "very basic and secluded" sites, making it ideal for those seeking a more rustic tent camping experience.

The tent camping experience around Adair Village offers varying degrees of seclusion and natural settings. Marys Peak Campground provides access to excellent hiking trails with views extending to the ocean on clear days. Big Elk Campground, with approximately 10 sites plus a hiker-biker area, offers quiet surroundings with minimal crowds. As described in feedback on The Dyrt, the campground is "well-maintained" with two pit toilets and potable water available. Tent campers particularly appreciate the access to trail networks, including the Corvallis to Coast Trail near Big Elk Campground. Forest Road 51 provides the most primitive camping option with no facilities but offers greater solitude for experienced tent campers willing to pack in supplies and pack out waste. Most sites are best visited between late spring and early fall, as winter conditions and seasonal closures affect accessibility.

    Marys Peak

    Very basic and secluded.

    This is one of the most primitive campgrounds I've seen. There were a few old picking tables, fire rings, and one vault toilet. We were the only ones there during the peak of camping season. There were lovely flowers and raspberries growing nearby. A few dead branches feel during the night, which was a little underling.

    South Beach State Park Campground

    Huge Park, Huge Mosquitos, Lots of Activities

    We showed up here in early June with no reservations and had no problem getting a spot.

    Oregon State Parks now charge a 25% surcharge for non-residents for RV / hookup sites.

    Tent/non-hookup sites are only $22 (whether resident or no), and electric/water sites are  $35 for Oregon residents and $44 for non.  There are no sewer hookups here but there's a free dump and water fill at the entrance. There are water spigots throughout the campground.

    The RV loops are more like your basic crammed in RV park sites, with all sites closely in a row.  The two tent loops, H and I, have a nicer feel, more spaced out, more trees, and quieter.  RVs are allowed to camp in tent sites, and no generators are allowed (yay!).  There is some tree cover but there are plenty of sites with enough open sky so you can use your solar panels easily.

    Showers are really nice, and free.  They are set up in individual units, which I prefer.

    The trails to the beach are nice, but were really swampy when we were here and the mosquitos were really aggressive (bit me through two layers of clothes!).

    There's a cool disc golf course but we didn't get to play, mainly because of the mosquitos. 

    Campground is close to the cute town of Newport.

    Overall we liked it here.

    ATT phone had good coverage.  Verizon was usable but weak, but the cell booster helped.

    Tillicum Beach Campground

    Coastal beauty

    Ranger Review: Eclipse Sun Protection at Tillicum Beach Campground

    Campground Review:

    The Tillicum Beach Campground in Yachats, Oregon is a part of the Siuslaw National Forest. It has amazing spots overlooking the ocean and unbeatable beach access. Some of the spots closest to the ocean even have cool tree canopy covered picnic and tent areas with openings like windows (see photo). Rates are between $23-$30 per night. The campsites along the waterfront go quickly so, I recommend booking when spots are released (rolling 6mos).

    None of the waterfront sites have hookups and only a handful of the inland sites have hookups. There are restrooms and water but no showers. Each site has a fire ring and most have picnic tables. The vast beach makes it perfect for walking/running, building sand castles, fishing, and whale watching.

    Top reasons I love this campground:

    1. Awesome tree covered nooks overlooking the ocean.
    2. Easy access to the beach.
    3. Great for whale watching.
    4. Fishing.
    5. Nice size campground - not too large.

    …………….

    Product Review:

    As a Ranger for the Dyrt, I get to test products. At this campground, I tested the Eclipse Equinox Hoodie Cover Up. I love the idea of having a portable and compact piece of UPF 50+ clothing that I can put in my backpack or purse instead of a having to lather up with sunscreen. The sides open for ventilation and the front pocket becomes a self-storage pouch. It’s lightweight, quick drying, soft, and the special fabric doesn’t have chemicals!!  There’s even a hidden pocket designed for your phone or keys. It features a finger loop so even the top of your hands stay protected.

    The stowage carry pouch is great for traveling! It's small, lightweight, and portable. The carabiner makes it easily attach it to anything! Clip it to your backpack or put it in your purse.

    My 6-year-old daughter liked wearing the kids sun poncho and I enjoyed knowing that she was protected from the sun without having to slather her body in sunscreen!

    Pros:

    • Unbeatable sun protection (blocks 98% of UVA and UVB rays wet or dry).
    • Lightweight
    • No chemicals
    • Quick drying
    • Soft
    • Portable

    Cons:

    • I found both the adult and youth hoods a bit short. The kids sun poncho (for kids 4-7) was too short for my 6-year-old.
    • Could be a bit more stylish.

    Overall, I give the sun protective clothing 4 stars and think its a fabulous alternative to chemical filled sunscreen

    Devil’s Lake State Recreation Area Campground

    Close to the lake and the beach and town

    No lake views here, but there is access down a long point/dock for non motorized(kayaks) boats. The staff was very friendly and helpful and the campground was super clean. Best part was the No Generators rule!!! It is kinda loud as you are really close to the highway and on the edge of a busy town, but if you can get a tent site in the tent only area (towards the back with lots of trees) or a hookup site along the back, it’s not too bad. And you can hear the ocean.

    Hult Pond

    Secluded Pond Great for a Quick stay

    Great spot for a quick stay. There are only a few flat spots for RVs but quite a few decent spots for tent camping next to the pond. The west side of the pond has at least 2 spots that are a good distance away from the others. At the moment, no fires or barbecues allowed but propane stoves and lanterns are fine. Look for Bandits blue squeaky disk! We lost it and never found it.

    Yukwah Campground

    ADA access camping sites and great day use area

    Yukwah campground is found along hwy 22 East of Salem along the Willamette National Forest in Linn County. Most of the sites along this stretch are first come, first serve walk up sites - but you can reserve by connecting with Linn County Parks and Rec (see photo for info) for $18/night plus $5 additional vehicle fee and reservation fee. This campground has ada access camp sites and tent sites. Most of the RV sites along the Willamette National Forest can be used for tent camping. The day use area at this site is great for swimming, fishing, and possibly a small hike. I advise camping near the day use area (#3) if you have a large family or kids for larger sites and easy access. Yukwah is near wagon wheel bridge with access to trails for those wanting to hike while camping. Vault toilets are available (bring soap) - there are no showers or additional amenities. There is access to potable water at this location.

    Beverly Beach State Park Campground

    Perfect camping in the woods

    The tree cover was fantastic, it was 85 out in the sun but much cooler at the site. Sites were open but still secluded enough to not be bothered by your neighbors. Sites were large, had a nicely maintained picnic table. Showers were clean and hot!

    Champoeg State Heritage Area Campground

    Crowded Disc Golf Fun

    I am going to try staying here again in the winter, the sites are small and close enough together that in peak summer season it’s pretty darn noisy, the joyful din of summer break.

    Lots of trees around the tent sites so there is a lot of shade which is nice. Shorter driveways though so not a lot of room for extra cars. The ADA accessible spots are great, paverstones under the picnic areas and such; very nice.

    If you like disc golf this is definitely the place to go, huge sprawling shaded course is very inviting and everyone who was playing looked like they were having a good time. Great destination for lazy bike rides, miles of paved low incline trails. Plus as well, they have a bike tools available as well, a work station for light repairs.

    Full service campgrounds, yurt sites have more space around ‘em so it may be a better option for in the future.

    Good river and fishing access, lots of low-key trails to explore. Dogs are welcome on leash and there is a designated area for them to romp too.
