    Creekside Retreat at Triangle Lake

    BEST RETREAT AT CREEKSIDE RETREAT AT TRIANGLE LAKE

    It’s hard to capture just how breathtaking Creekside Retreat truly is. The creek itself runs clear and clean, winding through wooded banks lined with smooth stones and bathed in dappled sunlight that dances and sparkles on the water’s surface. We stayed in a glamping tent that far exceeded our expectations. It had everything we needed, with no detail overlooked. Falling asleep on a queen-sized memory foam bed to the soothing sound of running water and the scent of fresh pine was absolute heaven. Tom and Brooke have curated the campground with so much thought and care. You’ll find hammocks, lawn games, ice, firewood, vending machines, fishing and hunting licenses, and more. I also have to give a special shout-out to the compost toilets—seriously, they’re better than most indoor bathrooms. They don’t smell at all! On top of all that, there’s a beautiful pavilion with a gas grill and a large fireplace that everyone can use, rain or shine. It’s the perfect spot for family gatherings or relaxing with friends. We’ve camped many times, but in terms of natural beauty, thoughtful hospitality, and overall experience, this is hands-down the best campground we’ve ever stayed at.

    Premier RV Resort

    Wow! The yurts are amazing

    Last summer I rented a yurt at Premier RV Resorts, Salem OR, and I can’t wait to stay there again!

    Registration was quick and easy. Plenty of parking. An amazing gift shop and small store. The bathrooms were SPOTLESS and keyless/ code entry, and it was almost like they were our private bathrooms.

    We had a darling porch with bbq and picnic table, Keurig coffee maker, 2 bedrooms, dining table and living room too! Cable tv as well.

    What an amazing place!!

    South Beach State Park Campground

    Convenience, Rogue, Sand and Trees...also a campground.

    The South Beach State Park Campground is at the mouth of the Yaquina Bay in Newport, Oregon. The first thing you'll notice is the wind on the way in. Generally, north to south in the summers, the wind is strong, always strong, like 30 mph or more pretty much all the times according to the locals. It felt like it was raining, but it was just water being blown off the ocean. However, once you're in the campground you don't notice it at all since it is well protected by surrounding dunes and tree line.

    There is a Tim Burton-esque trail system surrounding the camp leading out in all directions to the beach and bay. Some trails are blacktopped, some sand, and some horse accessible. Google maps struggled to get me to the correct entrance so pay a little more attention when arriving.

    My visit was during Oregon Parks day so camping was free. The Hiker/Biker area is just inside the camp entrance across from the hospitality yurt where you can get hot tea, coffee, ice cream, wood bundles, stickers and Oregon Parks merchandise. The camping (all of it) area itself is pretty open with minimal privacy or separation from your neighbors, but everything is very clean and organized. 

    The campground was packed, and the RV/Tent area was essentially a parking lot. It seemed like a lot of families to come to the same place, the same weekend every year. However, it was a well regulated, and well behaved campground. The nice thing about this campground is the location. There are hiking trails, beach access, and it is close to all the amenities of Newport. Once you left the camp on a trail you could wander the trees without seeing anyone for awhile if you needed to get away.

    Hiker/biker area had faux fencing built up to separate sites and wood platforms to get tents off the ground which I haven't seen in any other hiker/biker camps. The fences were a bit weird but made it easy to lock up a bike, hang some laundry and would a good stop if I were traveling with a hammock.

    Amenities include:

    • Camp Store
    • Storage box with usb charging station
    • Raised wood platforms for tents
    • Flush toilets
    • Hot free showers
    • Access to beach & trails
    • Walking distance to Rogue Brewery, Yaquina Bay State Park, South Beach State Park, 
    • Bike Stand and tools
    • Fire pit and picnic tables

    Pro-Tip: In Newport, just across Yaquina Bay, is the Newport Bike Shop. It is one of the few bike repair shops along the coastal Oregon Route. If you get a $35 bike tune up you can take a break in their upstairs lounge with tv, wifi, fridge with beverages, and washer/dryer.

    Harbor Vista Campground

    Nice county park campground !

    -Close to lots of hiking in the area -Working with camp hosts was easy. Money drop box or can use card with host (just call ahead) -Tent spots have room for car next to your area. Extra cars are an extra fee. Sites have a fire pit with grate and a picnic table. -Trash / recycling on site. -Close to town-campground sells firewood -It is what you would expect from a county park camping ground in terms of layout. You will feel safe here, shower/bathroom amenities, and kind hosts. Short walk to the bay and about mile down road / or walk along the bay to the open ocean !

    Jessie M. Honeyman Memorial State Park Campground

    The people make or break this place.

    I camped here twice this year. Once in June in the Hiker/Biker area, and again in July in a regular site. The experiences couldn't have been more different.

    Hiker/Biker is fairly segregated from the rest of camp. The access point is actually before the entry to the main campground itself. My first visit left me surprised at the beauty of the camp. It feels like it is in the wilderness despite being less than a few miles from Florence's cool Old Towne.

    The trees here are big, and the ground cover lush with ferns. The trails are canopied by Rhododendrons. Nature paths lead off to Cleawox and Woahink lakes. Sand dunes abut the west side of camp. They seem endless, and otherworldly. At Cleawox Lake day use area there are paddleboats, boards and water toys for rent by the day or hour. Sand boards are available from a temporary space set up in the day use parking area. 

    On my first visit the entry Ranger station was closed but the Welcome Yurt was open. Maps, advice, firewood, a lending library was available. 

    Honeyman Camp is huge. When I was there in early June it made for a lovely exploration, and seemingly great spaces between campers. In late July the vibe had completely changed. Each of the several hundred spaces was occupied by a seemingly large family with 5 kids to every adult, or 25 belligerently drunk RV campers who felt the need to blast Fleetwood Mac. 

    That second visit, in the main campground, made it very clear that your experience here will depend on the quality of people choosing to stay in the same park. All the amenities were the same, but despite it's size, a campsite with stereo speakers set to full boar are hard to ignore even when you're on the other side of camp. Now multiply that by several campsites per loop.

    One thing of note: Each campsite is issued a set of rules, including "Quiet Hours". Unlike some other sites in which hosts ignored those rules in an attempt to avoid confrontation the hosts here were on top of it. For as obnoxious as the camp was at 9:45pm, by 10:15 it was silent, and we were able to enjoy the remains of a campfire and view of the stars in the slight clearing between trees.

    Amenities include: 

    • Flush Toilets

    • Hot Showers (free and some without having to keep pushing a button!)

    • Picnic tables & Fire pits

    • Welcome yurt

    • Kids playground

    • Access to lakes and dunes (Bear sitings on the path to Woahink Lake in July)

    • Nature Trail

    *Pro-Tip: Stop in Old Towne Florence and buy some fresh fish or get a coffee at the local roaster.

    Beverly Beach State Park Campground

    Great stop for 1 night

    The campground has some nice amenities - a short walk from your campsite to trash, recycling, water, bathrooms, and the beach. There are on site staff ready to answer your questions. They also have a doggy bag spot where you can dispose of dog waste and pick up a new bag if needed. There’s a short trail that follows the creek. Overall it’s a good campsite but lacks any privacy or seclusion from other campers.

    Salmonberry County Park Campground

    Single loop campground for tent, trailer with yurt or cabin available.

    Small, rural campground that is on the Alsea River. There are logging roads for hiking or biking and the river is great for a float. Always a camp host, running water and is very clean.

    Lincoln City KOA

    A Jewel of a KOA, Near Lincoln City's Coastal Beaches!

    Let me preface this review by saying I am not, typically, a KOA camper. In my past experience, they have been commercial, crowded, and noisy, but I found this KOA to be an exception. Disclaimer: I stayed during the week, not on a weekend, and the tent site side of the campground was sparsely populated. Here, the RV pull-in sites are separated from the tent and cabin portion of the campground, with an office, the bathrooms and showers, (even laundry!) and a playground in between. The tent sites are surrounded on the outside by dense woods, and because the campground is about 5 miles off the highway, it was blissfully quiet and serene. The flush toilets, running water and hot showers were welcome, as I was traveling, and the bathroom was sparkling clean. It was just a short jaunt into town for a bowl of fresh clam chowder and to sit by the beach and enjoy the sound and smell of the surf. In the morning, (I got up at 5am) I scared up a marten by the large oak tree in my campsite, and it was such a pleasure to see this shy fellow up close! I would stay here again.


Guide to Alsea

Dispersed camping near Alsea offers several options within the Siuslaw National Forest at elevations ranging from 800 to 1,500 feet. The area receives substantial rainfall from November through April, making late spring through early fall the optimal camping season. Cell service is limited or nonexistent at most sites outside established campgrounds, with Hult Pond and forest service roads providing free primitive sites.

What to do

Creek exploration: 1/2 mile trail access at Creekside Retreat at Triangle Lake leads to clear water perfect for summer wading. "The creek itself runs clear and clean, winding through wooded banks lined with smooth stones and bathed in dappled sunlight that dances and sparkles on the water's surface," notes Jill W.

Beach fossil hunting: Drive 45 minutes west to Beverly Beach State Park Campground for unique geological finds. "FOSSILS! Literally everywhere on this beach. Nearly every rock and cliff face is littered with marine fossils of varying types and sizes and you can often find individual fossilized shells that can be collected," reports Erik C.

Kayaking: No motors allowed at Hult Pond where the still water makes for easy paddling. "The pond was great for kayaking and there is plenty to explore if you aren't worried about a little elevation in your hike," writes Nicki G.

Fishing opportunities: Catch largemouth bass in the local ponds and waterways. Brandon A. shares, "The area is beautiful lots of privacy and the fishing was pretty decent caught three largemouth bass."

What campers like

Privacy between sites: Beachside State Recreation Site offers natural separation between campsites. "Forested campsites, some of them are pretty close together, but overall a pretty good spot. Lots of trees, bushes between sites that make it feel more secluded," explains Darin D.

Quiet waterfront settings: The Alsea River provides peaceful camping environments with minimal crowds. MeLinda W. notes about Salmonberry, "It does well to provide a quiet place out of the sun next to the Alsea River. Some wading pools but fairly nondescript."

Alternative glamping options: Carl G. Washburne Memorial State Park Campground provides glamping in Alsea region with yurt accommodations. As Shari P. describes, "rough it or not up to you. Yurts and full hookup sites as well as beautiful secluded tent sites."

No reservation required: Some locations operate first-come, first-served. "You can't make reservations, it's first come first serve. Quiet. No or spotty cell service with at&t. SUPER close to beach, just a short hike on their trail," mentions Wendy M. about Carl G. Washburne.

What you should know

Cell service limitations: Hult Pond Recreation Area and surrounding areas have no connectivity. "We lost cell service about an hour before we even got there, and didn't have any the whole time there. There are some really cool spots that were taken. Would come again, but there's no cell service at all so I'd plan accordingly," warns Grace A.

Pack out all trash: Most dispersed sites lack garbage facilities. "They have a bathroom which is a plus but no trash cans so please whatever you pack in make sure to pack it out. Seeing trash in beautiful places always ruin it a little," reminds Dax S.

Mosquito preparation: Coastal campgrounds can have significant insect activity. "Mosquitos were bad this year so bring bug spray. Also make sure you book a head because it always is booked from June to October," advises Brian C.

Limited RV maneuverability: Large vehicles may struggle in some areas. Dillon & Soren A. caution, "We have a 38 foot rv. We got stuck in a ditch. Rv almost tipped over trying to u turn… if you go down the main lower path you will find a area big enough to u turn! Dont do it until then!"

Tips for camping with families

Educational beach programs: South Beach State Park Campground offers activities for children. "They have wifi if you need it, and plenty of games to keep anyone entertained, if camping isn't already enough," shares Sonja O.

Playground access: Jessie M. Honeyman Memorial State Park has dedicated play areas. Nicole L. reports, "The campground had a playground for kids, a small free library and ranger station with a couple of souvenirs of the area. The campground offers firewood to buy and extra ice."

Yurt accommodations: Family glamping near Alsea provides easier transitions for young children or during inclement weather. "I have a toddler and it ended up being so helpful with the weather being a bit rainy and getting some creature comforts while still enjoying nature. The yurt comes with a bunk bed, pull out couch, small table with 2 chairs and a heater," explains Nicole L.

Wildlife spotting opportunities: Many campgrounds offer bird watching possibilities. Debbie I. mentions, "We seen stellar jays and a woodpecker. Bathrooms and showers were clean."

Tips from RVers

Hookup availability: Waldport KOA provides full-service sites. "They have a few full hookup RV sites that have an unbeatable view of Alsea Bay and the Pacific Ocean, but they reserve fast," Steve H. notes.

Dump station locations: Plan ahead for waste disposal. "Clean, safe, and quiet. Well maintained campgrounds, as are all Oregon parks. Great reservation system. 30 and 50 amp electric, water and sewer at the site (Full hookups). Great dump station across the highway," explains D37.

Site size considerations: Many older parks have limited space for larger rigs. "Back in spaces, so a 40 foot RV would barely fit. This is an older but well maintained campground," cautions D37.

Seasonal access limitations: Most full-service campgrounds operate year-round, while others close seasonally. Chloe shares about Hult Pond, "About an 1 hour from Corvallis but worth it if you can go at a good time! No service but great from a seclusion! So remember all games and firewood you need!!"
