Tillicum Beach Campground is popular for many reasons, but the number one and most obvious is its location right on the beach. Campers are lulled to sleep by the sound of the ocean waves, then wake to sweeping views of the Pacific. The campground offers an ideal location for whale watching. Most campsites have beachfront views, and sunsets are not to be missed. Fishing, swimming and playing in the sand are the campground's most popular activities.
Campers enjoy Tillicum for its expansive sandy beach. Surfers and swimmers play in the waves just off-shore. Children love building sandcastles on the beach. Walking along the beach is a great way to explore the area. Cape Perpetua is 6 miles south, where visitors can wander through old-growth Sitka spruce, experience the crashing surf, investigate tide pools, whale watch or take a guided hike. Waldport, just 4 miles north, provides access to fishing, crabbing, clamming and shrimping in the Alsea Bay and River.
The coastal campground lies a couple miles south of where the Alsea River meets the Pacific Ocean. Tillicum is perfectly perched on the sandy beach yet it still offers some shade. The campground offers views of both the ocean and the Coastal Range.
Heceta Beach is located nearby, giving visitors the opportunity to enjoy the Pacific Ocean. Mary's Peak is the highest point in Oregon's Coast Range and has been designed a Scenic Botanical Area because of its rich, unique scenery and plants.

Had a great time here secluded treasure in the middle of the city only dislike was having to get a code to the shower room other than that highly recommend
Guide
It was great for the first month after that the owners were continuously invading our area and complaining about everything
Guide
We loved staying here! Beautiful beach that is lovely at sunset and sunrise. Helpful and friendly hosts. Sites fairly close but didnt feel bothered by it.
Guide
We rolled into this park in a torrential rainstorm just at dark. Thankfully, site 10 was perfectly level, and hookups all worked great. Clean bathrooms and gorgeous setting, even in the the rain

Horse Creek is a great site for horse camping. Only two sites are for non-stock campers. The camp has no water or any hook ups but the corrals are pretty good except they can get muddy if manure is not carefully picked out.
The horse water trough is a short walk away from camp but does not have potable water. If users are not careful it can drain or not be usable so bring horse water.
The trails are wonderful!! But hilly so make sure your horse is fit or you are willing to take it easy. Many of the original overlooks are starting to be grown in but the forest is amazing!

TravelerI stayed at Armitage for an overnight visit in the area and thought the location was quite nice: wooded with adequate facilities and plenty of space between sites. The RV park staff disappear a little before 5 pm and who knows when they come in the mornings. No wifi reception (at least where I was). Not bad overall.

Not near Eugene

Dustin is a gracious host and provides a lovely camp retreat on his Dahlia farm. While there's an option to park amongst mature trees, I requested to be in an open area to which he obliged and it was absolutely lovely. A very quiet place to sleep and peaceful setting to spend the day working on my laptop prior to heading into Eugene for some meetings. Thank you Dustin!

Our stay at the RV spot on the beach was absolutely magical. Waking up to the sound of waves crashing and stepping out to golden sands right from our doorstep was an unparalleled experience. The facilities were well-maintained, and we had everything we needed to make our stay comfortable and enjoyable. The sunset views were breathtaking, making every evening feel like a painting come to life. Highly recommend this spot for anyone looking to combine the adventure of RV living with the serenity of beachfront relaxation.
GuideThis was a gem that I wish we had an extra night to stay at. Spot 62 had a secret access to the beach that looks to be one of two away from the general access. Water and electricity hookups with grey water dumps throughout park. Restrooms and showers were available and the camp host has firewood for sale between 5-7pm. Peaceful morning walk on the beach.
Guide
Had a nice one night stop at this RV Park that had about 12 sites that were lined up along the coast. Had a couple other levels with direct views of the ocean, but you were packed in side by side with other RV’s. There are other sites that are a little more divided in some wooded areas. Full hookup with showers, Laundry etc.
Legend
The main draw of this campground is its proximity to the cute town of Florence. We don't tow a car, so being able to camp within walking distance of shops and restaurants is always a treat.
This campground used to have boondock / dry camp spots for a lower cost, but now all sites are FHU. The sites are packed pretty close together, and wouldn't be pleasant for an extended stay, but for a night or two it's find. There's a lot of activity with the fishing boats which is fun to watch.
There's a dump station for a fee for non-campers, laundry, showers, a book exchange in the office, trash dumpsters and recycling.

We stayed in a yurt over Christmas and the heater in the Yurt did not heat sufficiently. We tried to get it fixed by staff but there wasn’t anyone who could help.
We were near the lift station and the alarm was sounding off throughout our stay. Also no one remedied this.
TravelerClean, well maintained. Love the fog horn in the distance. Nice easy trails, many paved. I prefer a little more space between me and my neighbors.
GuideI’ve been here before. This park has about 37 sites with folks not on top of one another. Clean toilets and baths. $40 per night. Need to make reservations. Fills up fast. Cell service for Verizon, At&T and T-mobile are marginal. Phone calls are fine, internet varies from good speed to barely working.
Scout
We set up camp next to an old logging area, gave us the opportunity to have a clear view of the sunset. The area we wanted to go was blocked by a huge log, that kept us on NF property but we still enjoyed the view from where we were.
Guide
Easy to get too from Eugene. Inbetween yachats and walport. Can walk to either. Pacfic Sourdough in Walport is worth a visit. Days open were thursday-saturday. They get a line up. Yummmm. Market in yachats is Sunday. Check if open as it may be seasonal
GuideThey have multiple first come sites. Works for us as we cant plan that far ahead. Bathrooms are clean and get cleaned twice a day. Only thing missing would be a shower. Camp hosts are helpful and always around for questions
GuideFriendly, helpful staff. Clean and modern bathrooms. Great location on ocean with great sunsets. Oy negative is spotty internet (Tengo).

This is a nice, small, well maintained RV park near town. Foster Lake is just across the road and is beautiful with a decent trail along the lake. The road can get very noisy as it’s popular with motorcycles.
TravelerI dove thru. Told not welcome. 2+ year wait list to live there. Asked if I could just pay to park somewhere safely in there as a single woman, in her 40's, just to stay in my car and watch TV on my own cell service in my car? I was told no. I told them I didn't want to live there tonight, I was looking into rv living and feeling out what the lifestyle is about. Currently just a "leave no trace overnight sleep".
Nope.
Met a couple residents and park attendant/host and this is NOT A PLACE TO STAY.
Looks like some kind of laundry area and possibly 1 shower stall. CHeesy (some kind of 1/4 height saloon town cutouts) hostile, rude, unfriendly, and discriminating. Best to move straight past it.
Traveler.
TravelerNo. 100% no. Just want to make sure people know NOT to go there like I did. THE WORST experience I have had ever in all of my exploring!
TravelerNo
Scout
The sites are all mostly seperated by trees which is nice. We can as a first come first serve and there was no issue getting a site
TravelerIf it wasn’t already dark, I would have gone to a campground for $10 more. But it’s patrolled and a safe, level parking lot. Perimeter spaces have electric hookups.
