Best Tent Camping near Agate Beach, OR

We camped here again in July. Drive 6 miles up a paved road then 1/2 mile on a dirt road. Spent 5 days in spots RV1 and RV2. They were doing some log pickup close to our spot so during the day it was sort of noisy but after 3PM things got really quiet and peaceful. Trees were very plentiful and keep us cool during the 90* days. We went up the hill to tent site#13 where there was water, but you had to pump your own. The water was very clean and tasty. They had 2 buildings that had pit toilets and 1 port-potty by the day use area by us. We walked a trail beside the day use area that went for about 1.5 miles by on of the creeks. There were many other roads that went to other trails that were longer. All was very quiet except for the cars, trucks and Jeeps that sped down the road by our camp going to the trail to the right from 7PM until 1AM. I have no idea why they were here at all because they we not camping here and drove very fast for a gravel road. Be advised even though there are 15 camp sites only(2) RV-1 and RV-2 are actually designated for motorhomes and travel trailers under 32 feet in length. Most all other sites are up a steep road but can accommodate very small RV's but mostly tent camping area. Little to no cell service right at the base of the campground. Just a 1/2 mile back to the asphalt road there is 1 bar at the very least. This campground is 6 miles up a small paved road from Grand Ronde then a half mile on a gravel road in a heavily wooded area to the first RV camp site#1 and#2.

We stayed here and really enjoyed the proximity to the beach and the views but checked out early due to tent camping and high winds. The spots are larger than other beach side campgrounds we’ve visited. I would come again but probably RV instead of tent camp.

The second Friday of September this was the only campground along the Oregon coast that had an open spot. The only space available was the handicap site, which is only open to non-handicapped campers after 7pm. As a tent camper this was not an ideal spot. The majority of the sites are designed for RVs and have hook ups. There were plenty of tent campers using these sites, especially the smaller ones further back. There are also hiker-biker sites located sort of in the middle of an RV loop. There are also tent sites that are removed from the tent parking area. When I drove through the tent site parking I couldn't see any of the tent sites.

The campground has flushing toilets and hot showers. If you are camping showers are free and unlimited. The showers are also made available to non-campers for $2. The campground is connected to hiking trails in the area of varying difficulty including a 1/2 mile trail to the beach. The state park is on both sides of the road but the campground is on side away from the beach. The Oregon coast in this area is incredible and the geography changes drastically as you drive between Newport and Florence. Both towns are worth a visit.

Huge facility with a lot of options from basic tent camping to fancy rv.

This was my first visit to Cape Lookout, or camping on the Oregon coast, for that matter. The RV sites are separated from the tent sites, which is nice. Most of the tent sites are fairly open, some of them have more privacy, but all of them are very green and incredibly close to the beach while still being somewhat protected from the wind coming off of the ocean.

Bathrooms were relatively clean, though you always have someone emptying all of their camp trash in the bathroom trash can (pizza boxes? Really?) so it's hard to keep up. Staff were knowledgeable and helpful. 

A truly beautiful place.

Consider choosing a campsite in the wooded areas.  The sites near the ocean are in the hot sun.  Full hookups Of course are nice, even if you are in a tent.  Restrooms have running water and we’re kept very clean by the park staff.  We camped in a tent in August, but it was still quite cold at night.  A lack of privacy bothered us, but we were gone most of the day.  Lots of folks riding bikes, flying kites, walking on the beautiful trails on Cape Lookout.  We definitely will go back again.

We happened to be on the Oregon Coast on a Friday night during nice spring weather. The website said there were still a few sites left so we drove there to secure one. It is best to reserve a site but we never do so you can still get a site the day of if you don’t have a reserved site and there are unclaimed sites.

Our site was 65, a tent site, in the full sun near the bathrooms. There are bushes that obscure your next door neighbors but you can see the ones across the road. We could hear the roar of the ocean but it lulled us to sleep. There are trails to the sandy beach.

We paid $21 for a tent site during the off season.

Stayed 3 nights and the host allowed us to park 2 cars on a tent site. Facilities are clean and showers are hot and free

I pulled in before the ranger station closed, and was able to get a tent site for $24. Amenities are super clean, unlimited use showers and perfect spacing in between sites.

rough it or not up to you. Yurts and full hookup sites as well as beautiful secluded tent sites. first come first serve showers potable water and real toilets.

Nice, simple spot. Bathrooms clean, tent site comfortable, open to neighbors on one side. Located on east side of 101, walk under a bridge to access beach. State park, so amenities and fees standard. Would recommend

A loop - you can hear highway 101. Lots of RV spots. Best tent sites are on the outer (north) sides of the loops. Especially C,D and E loops. Ranger station and junior ranger program. Great family campground.

The tent sites are pretty private for such a large park which was a very pleasant surprise. The beach was extra fun with the river running into the ocean. We are going to make this a yearly stop for sure.

This campground is full of folks! It’s not remote if that is what you are looking for, but the location can’t be beat. They also have yurts and RV spots as well as tent camping. Great bike/walk path and paths to the ocean. Close to the aquarium and lighthouses. Lots to see and great town.

I camped here during Memorial day weekend. It was crowded, lots of families with RVs. Bathrooms/showers are very clean and nice. Very dog friendly. Nice trails, beach access. Newport is only few minutes drive away and such a cute small coastal town. If you are tent camping and prefer more privacy and to be away from RV area I suggest "I" loop.

Went tent camping here in summer just for the hike out on cape Lookout. Made in with two kids and dog in about two hours and did some whale watching for about 20-30 mins. The views are spectacular from the Cape. We would definitely hike/camp here again as it was great location for some peace and adventure.

most of the tent spots have a good amount of privacy, with many of them very close to the ocean — fell asleep to the sound of the waves crashing. pretty clean showers. extremely short walk to the beautiful beach. would absolutely stay here again but probably in a tent site closer to the beach

After accidentally reserving the wrong campground, we were pointed in the direction of Horse Creek. Access to it is up an unmarked dirt road, about 10 minutes from 101. It's truly out in the middle of the woods, with campsites meant for campers with horses but it worked perfectly for our tent camping. Pay on site, no campground host. Vault toilets.

Great campground with lots of trees for privacy and the lake is lovely with lots of fingers that lead off the main lake so you can find solitude on the lake when fishing or just bobbing around.

There are ten Yurts for rent so if you're not up for tent camping the yurts are nice. Note there is only one pet friendly yurt and it books up quick.

A great small site to visit when you can’t get in at Cape Lookout. Campground is small which is nice since there isn’t much separation between tent sites. The location is great for paddling around Sand Lake though you’ll have to go a bit to access the ocean. Tillamook county knows what they’ve got and they will charge for each vehicle and each tent on the ground.

We love Beveryly Beach.  It's a beautiful campground.  Easy to get to.  Great access to the beach.  There's a trail that goes around the outside of the entire campground that was pretty fun to take our kids on.

We have only stayed in a tent site, but the yurt loop looks great too and I hope to visit again to try them someday.

This is a beautiful park.  We've stayed here several times over the years.  My favorite is when I am able to snag a cabin reservation, but tent camping is also very pleasant here.  We're headed back later this summer and I can't wait.

The cabins are located near the day use area, but are back in the trees and feel very private.  There used to be only 3, but I believe there are 7 now.  They are all spaced apart from each other to not feel like you are right next to anyone.  Each cabin has a separate living room space, bedroom, and bathroom with shower, sink, and toilet.  The living room space also has a sink, a microwave, and a small fridge.  The cabins each have a gas grill on the porch as well.

It's about 50-60 yards through to trees to the beach, so the views from the front rooms and porches is amazing!  It's like the best compromise between camping and a motel.  The price is right and the location can't be beat.

We have also enjoyed tent camping many times as well.  The campsites are well maintained and it's easy to get to the beach from camp.

Definitely recommend this campground.
