"We definitely didn't try to interact with them, but they were comfortable to roam right around our site which was a really magical experience
- Nehalem Bay is such a beautiful area and the State Park"
"Mostly an RV park tucked into the Nehalem Bay peninsula, this does offer a couple dog friendly yurts and some very friendly camp hosts."
"We stayed away from our coastal communities during the first year of the pandemic, but now we wanted to get back and support our home away from home."
"Really well maintained and just 10 minutes away from the beach in Cannon Beach, it is a lovely walk from the campground to town and to the beach."
$15 - $120 / night
"Compared to many places this is still a five star campground, but I like others in Oregon better. This one can get quite crowded and tends to be a little more loud and rainy."
"Also there are many hiking paths, the beach and near by towns to explore like Astoria, OR."
$50 - $250 / night
"You can’t beat the location! Walk to the beach, shops and restaurants in a few minutes. The sites are close but it’s the Oregon coast. Wifi is solid and I’m able to work."
"After a mildly congested drive out to Cannon Beach, we pulled off the 101 into town. Sure enough, we were late. I called and it was no issue."
$38 - $56 / night
"Close to the tide pools in Barview, right on the beach, on the entrance to Tillamook Bay. Large clean bathrooms with several hot showers."
"Our campsite is spacious and relatively private with lots of trees and shrubbery around the perimeter. We're just a short walk from the beach access and it's a great section of beach."
"Open year-round, this RV Park is located in the town of Seaside on the Oregon Coast."
"It gives access to all the amenities here. They took out the propane site, cause they didn’t have anyone to take care of it. We come down here to get away from the heat, inland, area."
$38 - $54 / night
"We took the kids and stroller and walked under the highway on the path/sidewalk that eventually got us down to the beach."
"It's also a lovely walk. We came both years for the Canon Beach Sand Sculpture Contest. Lots of fun. "
"Oregon really doesn’t have bad campgrounds. It was raining while we were here but it’s a beautiful spot and if you’ve got an RV who cares about the rain!"
"We didn’t spend a ton of time on site, but it met all of our needs: close to town, easy to access, no problems with the size of the park or the sites."
"So I told him I’d also write reviews of some other good campgrounds in the area, so look for-Beaver Eddy (recently closed for logging, though didn’t look like a permanent close + one roadside site was"
"Nestled near a river, with easy access to the falls trail. Ensure you wear clothing suitable for wet hiking. The entire hike is a pretty easy and birding opportunities are many."
$25 - $117 / night
"I would pick a site that isn’t next to the bathroom trail or you’ll have someone walking through your site every 5 minutes. Each site is Steps away from beach access."
"Steps to the beach? ✅ In the forest? ✅ Access to amazing hiking? ✅ Private? ✅ We love Cape Lookout for all the diverse scenery it has to offer."
TravelerThere are 3 easy to find campsites, very easy to find and access. 2 or 3 miles before the gravel road was a commercial campground with a store and very friendly folks inside. The gravel road to the sites was not a problem. The sites were well kept. We felt lucky to find this place.
TravelerWe were Blessed with a Wonderful campground Host here! It was quite and absolutely gorgeous.
RangerThis spot isn't accurately marked, but the road is correct. I saw a total of 3 designated dispersed camping sites along this road. But there were a ton of pull offs along the river. I stopped just past site 3 and found a clearing so my Starlink would have a clear sight to the sky as it is a heavily wooded area. The road is in great condition and is passable with a 2WD without any issue. There is a sign saying there are logging trucks using the road, but I never saw one or heard any forestry equipment.
ScoutHave to use Cook Creek like the comment below says. Pin doesn’t work well. It’s just past a river around a bend when heading east on the south side. You’ll see signs off the pavement for Cook Creek campground. Keep on driving up staying on the main road. It takes a bit before seeing camp sites, but eventually they are numbered. 17 I believe are numbered along the way. Stayed at number 5 and it was great!
TravelerWe camped here with our 4 kids while in town for Soccer in the Sand. We didn’t spend a ton of time on site, but it met all of our needs: close to town, easy to access, no problems with the size of the park or the sites.
Bathrooms were clean and the showers were toasty warm! We had 4 sand-covered kids at the end of each day, and the shower head in our camper broke on night 1, so we used the bathrooms more than we usually would have!
While at the park, the kids walked down to the river and caught (and released) crawdads and looked for frogs. Grassy areas were well-maintained. We’ve already picked out our site for next year’s tournament!!
TravelerWe had a lovely time here. The site is really beautiful, and the sites seem to be really well-spread out so there’s tons of room to feel like you’re alone in nature. We showed up late-ish on a Saturday worried that the place would be all filled up, but had no trouble finding an open site.
There were shell casings and some small trash pieces around (the occasional water bottle lid, a few pieces of broken glass, etc), as other reviews noted, but no huge huge litter problem. My biggest complaint, however, is that any time we tried to explore around venturing outside of our campsite, we came upon toilet paper, which especially grossed me out having a small kid in tow. Please take care of these spaces, fellow campers! Everybody poops, so of course do what you gotta do! But please be courteous to bury or otherwise dispose of your mess, including TP.
The things I loved about the space way outweighed that complaint, however. The foliage was lovely, we could hear a variety of birds and the creek nearby—such a relaxing space. The occasional vehicle drove by on the road, but nothing bothersome. We couldn’t hear any other campers from our spot.
I had no cell service while we were there (except the option for satellite for emergencies and whatnot).
There is lots to explore nearby, and it’s a reasonable drive to Manzanita if you want to visit the coast. :)
Have fun!
(The coordinates given here didn’t take us quite far enough using Apple Maps, but just keep driving until you see Cook Creek signage, it isn’t too far at all.)
GuideSmall campsite, good for one night, up the road is logging so there were big trucks going past once at 3am once at 5am and again at 9am. It's small, only about 6 campsites but only $15 and perfect if you need a quick spot.
GuideLarge campsite, easy access to the beach for sunset, clean facilities, showers. Easy to get to multiple little towns too!
TravelerLots to do, both free and for a fee. We liked our spot a lot, but down in the open gravel area, it was less desirable.
