Best Glamping near Alsea, OR

The honeyman national park camp ground was very nice but if you want to glamp then it's definitely the place to go. But otherwise I would keep looking. All in all it was a great stay, near the ocean and lots of people.

My sister and I were road-tripping down the 101 of WA, OR, and CA and making it up as we went. After looking through a list of Oregon campgrounds/State Parks, we settled on Honeyman since it had yurts available and it was forecasted to be a rainy night. The yurt was great and well taken care of. The campground was fairly empty and our site was private, though that was likely because we visited in late November. I would love to go back and explore the dunes and surrounding area more. Great place for an overnight stay and a good alternative to soaking all of our gear before heading further south.

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.

Beachside is great. The yurts are the perfect thing for winter or fall camping. We like to go in the winter and watch whales, and staying in a yurt is the perfect thing for the rainy season. Because the weatehr changes by the minute, you can walk on the beach, head back to the yurt during a downpour, and back out when it stops. If you get really cold, you can take a hot shower! Not a crowded feel, even when full. Lovely views.

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.

Its a large campground and it's usually booked up year round so reserve in advance! The bathroom showers can be used by pacific coast hikers for a small fee. Bathrooms were clean. Weve camped and stayed in a yurt. Both were great. Checkin was a breeze for the yurt and all staff and volunteers were great.

Stayed in one of the yurts over a rainy weekend. The yurt was clean and had plenty enough space for two people. Between the bunk bed and the fold out couch, there was ample room to sit, sleep, and store your stuff. The surrounding beach was gorgeous, simply taking a hike during low tide was an amazing experience. Bathrooms and showers were also nice and clean.

I have stayed here a few times mostly when the kids were younger, but recently stayed here in a Yurt.

Its basicalky a RV type place..crowded sites, no privacy  and tons of screaming kids.

Its clean and there are some trails ( one very easy ) to the beach which is quite nice.

The hosts are excellent if busy.

The Yurt was great , but be prepared for the fog horns going off all night on the jetty.

Good for RVs and kids,

I stayed in one of the dog friendly yurts that they offerend at Devils Lake, and had a great time. It is very nice, and well maintained. You can either set up a tent, stay in a yurt, or bring your camper. The campsite is not too far from town, and walkable distance to the beach. You also have a nice path back to your own lake! Not a lot of people crowd the lake either, so it is a lovely getaway!

Jessie M. Honeyman is an Oregon State Park just a few miles south of Florence, Or.

We traveled in on a Wednesday at the beginning of June with friends, kids, and a canoe. We stayed through Saturday night and moved on up the coast to another site just outside of Newport. The park has a lot going for it -- especially if you have kids -- but it also has some deal-breaker drawbacks. As with a lot of other busy state parks, your experience will depend a lot on when you go, what site you book, and who happens to show up as your neighbors.

Pros: • Very close proximity to Lake Cleawox and the boat house / facilities there. You don't leave the park to go from the camp sites to the lake. At the boat house, you can rent paddle boats ($7 / 30 mins, $10 / hr), canoes, or kayaks. You can also rent sandboards and zoom down the dunes on the far side of the rental facility. The setup is awesome and looks like an idyllic version of everyone's summer camp - real or imagined. • Woahnik Lake, a much larger lake than Cleawox, is right across the street and offers a lot of options for more swimming, boating, and paddling. We saw two large groups of scuba divers while canoeing around the lake. • Sand dune access. You can literally ride an ATV or quad from your camping site to the dunes, because the camp is adjacent to the Oregon sand dunes. • Hot showers. • Super friendly rangers and staff. • Large play structure in the sand for kids. Same thing you'd find in a city, but it's a nice option. • Yurts. We stayed in #316. Staying in the yurts is a great all-weather option.

Cons: • Campsites - tents, yurts, RVs - are crammed in. Some areas don't have good tree coverage (the closer you get to the dunes), and are wide open. You can see and hear your neighbors, so good luck. • ATVs and quads. Because the site backs up to the dunes, it's ground zero for ATVs and quads. You hear them running at peak times on the weekend. The site attracts a lot of giant diesel trucks that idle through the camp site hauling their trailers, so it feels like you've set up camp right next to a trucker super highway.

Given how popular the spot is, the wildlife are very used to people, and you'll be marauded by cunning squirrels and chipmunks. Don't leave food out for a hot minute.

Don't stay in any site off the main branch to all the camping loops. Accessible yurt #404 is probably the best site in the entire campground.

Just a correction, before the rest of the review. There are no sewer hookups for RVs. Only a dump station. 

I loved this campground for many things, but the 10-15 minute walk to the beach was my favorite part. We stayed a week. 

A couple things of note: Playground for kids in loop C; showers are now open; Yurts are available for $60 a night, and you can park a camper at each yurt, too (just pay extra vehicle charge), and last, Newport is home to Rogue Brewery and within an hour from Monmouth and Salem wineries. Check Groupon for some great specials on these.

The yurt sites are big enough for a tent also. Short walk to the beach. There are lots of things to visit within a short drive.

just off the hwy but quite, stayed in the handicap yurt. Was my B-day so we were just walked to the bar.

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.

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.

We rented a yurt for the weekend and are so happy that we did! Comfortable, next to the restroom, clean, comfortable beds! Great family oriented park. Moorage docking area, just beautiful.

South Beach SP Oregon Site B1 Memorial Weekend Crowded but nice. Some loops very narrow rods and lots of kids on bikes. We were in a back in end site. A bit more room but beach access walkway next to us meant a lot of foot traffic. Large open beach with small waves. Access is ADA friendly. Level asphalt pad. Minimal privacy from trees but they do provide some shade. So.e skeeters but not to bad yet. Large trees at rear or site. Average bathhouse close by. CG has yurts, and tent sites too. Great restaurant close to SP has fresh crab, salmon, halibut and cod. Right next to it is a fresh cherry stand

The Yurts looked awesome.  A good choice instead of a hotel if you’re on a budget.  Showers and bathrooms are as nice as a hotel.  Immaculately clean.  They sell firewood and ice too.  Wonderful, easy trails and wooded area.  The beach access was easy.  There is a boardwalk.  Horses allowed on the beach.  Cool at night and noisy on the weekends though.  

A big plus for families is how close it is to Newport with all of its tourist attractions.  Historic bay front, fresh crab and seafood, sea lions on the dock.  Gorgeous Yaquina Bay National Park and lighthouse.  Lots of wildlife.  And don’t forget the Oregon Coast Aquarium and Hatfield Marine Science Center!

Very close to the beach, but also has some highway noise. Seems likemoere of an RV spot but there are tent spots as well as yurts available. Really cool bridge right next to the campground on the way to the beach!

Camped here in May and managed to get one of the 2 Yurts available.

This is RIGHT ON 101  its a mere sliver of forest between 101 and the beach.

The yurt was amazing and at least kept the road noise to a miniumum.

The reason to come here is the magnificent almost empty beach..its breath taking great.

We strolled around the campground and it seemed to me they got it all wrong, they had the RV sites nearest the beach and furthest from 101..while the poor tenters were right up against the highway.

As a tenter there is no way i would stay here it would be unbearable without ear plugs, they should have the big RVs next to the road as tbhey dont hear a thing inside and the tents next to the beach.

But still a well maintained fanily campground with a beautiful empty beach

The beach near bye. Curfew was awesome. Quiet time. Clean and friendly. Can't wait to come back. Fun crazy trails to explore. Lots of different amazing sites. Their is Yurts, tents, van life, rv pull through or back ins. The beach is so amazing.

And pet friendly.

I have been to this State park many times in the past, stayed in a yurt as well as a few of the tent sites. This park Is very family oriented and also has a group area. The beach is right around the corner from the grounds under a sweet hwy 101 bridge. This does create some traffic noise during the day, but always calms at night, allowing the sounds of the waves to lull you to sleep. They have nice clean restroom facilities with showers and onsite potable water as well as wood sales. It is located just off hwy 101 past Newport, Or. It tends to be busy in the summer, so book early and expect kids running around having fun. They also have a visitor center with literature on local points of interest.

PROS:

• proximity to beach
• Sunsets under the bridge
• Lots of campsites and yurt

CONS:

• Proximity to hwy
• Busy in summer

We stayed at site 76. The campground was big and a little to loud. There are yurts to stay in but you have to reserve them. There are no bugs but lots of crows which were loud. It wasn't the best but a nice quick spot to stay.

The hike and bike area is secluded and quiet, but it is also difficult to reach.  You must take a dirt trail that can be muddy and slick on rainy days. Nice clean restrooms and showers.  Campground can be loud at times from people coming for the nearby dunes. Campground has yurts.

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.

Not reservable, full hookups, easy access. Walk from the campground to the generally deserted beach, hike the trail to Heceta Head, or kick back. Several camp hosts are always on site. Open all year. Large restrooms with showers. Yurts, hiker/biker area. Located between Cape Perpetua and Florence. The day-use area and dump station are across hwy 101 from the campground.
