Best Dog-Friendly Camping near Astoria, OR

1,280 Reviews

Fort Stevens State Park's sprawling pet-friendly campground welcomes dogs throughout its diverse accommodation options, including tent sites, RV spots with hookups, cabins, yurts, and glamping facilities. Leashed pets are permitted at several campgrounds near Astoria, with Cape Disappointment State Park and Astoria-Warrenton-Seaside KOA offering similar pet policies requiring dogs to remain on leash at all times. Multiple tent sites at Kampers West RV Park back up to a stream and provide grassy areas ideal for pets, though some campgrounds enforce specific pet areas and waste disposal rules. The trails throughout Fort Stevens State Park provide excellent dog walking opportunities with paved pathways suitable for all activity levels. Several RV parks near the Astoria-Megler Bridge maintain designated pet exercise areas.

The Astoria region features numerous dog-friendly outdoor activities, with Fort Stevens State Park offering miles of paved bike trails accessible with leashed dogs across from the KOA campground. Pet owners should note that while beach access is available at several locations, some beaches have seasonal restrictions for dogs. Outdoor swimming areas at campgrounds like the KOA provide pet owners opportunities to enjoy recreation while camping with their animals. The wildlife-rich environment requires campers to maintain control of pets, especially in areas with small animals and birds. The camping season runs year-round at most pet-friendly facilities including Lewis & Clark Golf & RV Park, though summer brings higher occupancy and may require advance reservations for those traveling with pets.

    Cape Disappointment State Park Campground

    Beautiful and very near attractions. Kind of crowded.

    It was very busy. There were a bunch of people out hiking and running around. Right next to the beach with a beautiful lighthouse. If you don’t mind driving also not too far from Long Beach. And not horribly far from Astoria.

    Great place!

    We had a blast here. It’s 15 minutes from Astoria. It’s a huge site, with multiple places for kids to play and places to do laundry. The sites were pretty good size, and the staff was great.

    Clatsop State Forest Gnat Creek Campground

    Not really a destination, but an okay place to sleep

    We accidentally discovered Gnat Creek when we needed a place to stopover on a return from Astoria. There isn't a ton here, but there are the necessities - a place to put your tent for the night and a bathroom.  We also took advantage of where we wound up and did a short hike which led to a fish hatchery. 

    Camping here is all first come and tent—but it's not really the kind of site you'd book in advance anyway.

    Thousand Trails Long Beach

    Nice campground with beach access

    The location is perfect, with an easy walk to the beach, making it ideal for those who love the ocean.

    The campground offers a variety of amenities, including a pool and hot tub, which are perfect for relaxing after a day of activities. For pet owners, there's a convenient dog park where dogs can run and play.

    The RV sites nice, but not very spacious. It is super nice that full hook-ups are standard. Tent sites are also available and offer a comfortable camping experience.

    Clatsop State Forest Gnat Creek Campground

    Not for RVs, Not for Solo Women

    Stayed one night in this campground right off the road on my way back to Portland from Astoria. Apparently there is a transient camp up the road a bit and there are lots of cars coming through the site at all hours of the night. At 3am heard a loud fight or party, couldn't tell which. Felt vulnerable here as a solo woman. 

    Also there is a sign that says no RVs, campers or trailers. I was a bit nervous that I would be asked to leave in my van, but never saw a ranger or anyone official. The other folks who were camping here seemed great, it was just the constant traffic, people getting out and walking around my van at night and the yelling at 3am that made me uncomfortable.

    Skamokawa Vista Park

    Delightful RV Park right on the Columbia River

    I've camped here a few times each year but I visit the park frequently for day-use throughout the summer. I typically camp here a few days in October or November during the off-season. The rates are a little less expensive then $25/night for a partial hook-up site (water & electric). The peak season rate is $30/night. They have 27 of partial hook-up sites; 15 full-hookup sites $40 peak and $35 off-season; 27 tent sites, $20/night and 5 yurts, $40/night. Extra vehicles are $5/night and extra tents are $10/night.

    During the summer reservations are highly recommended because this is a favorite place for many people in the area.  Reservations may be made up to fourteen months in advance.  And they've recently required online reservations but you an make them from the office if necessary. Also the park now has reliable internet.

    Check in: 2:00 p.m.  Check out: 12 noon

    Yurts*: 3:00 p.m.  Yurts* 11 a.m. * yurt check in and check out times adjusted to allow staff extra cleaning time 6 persons and one vehicle allowed per site

    The park is right on the Columbia River not too far from Astoria Oregon which is a gateway for international shipping. On any given day up to 10 ships can be found at anchor in the Columbia River along the Astoria waterfront waiting for berths to open upriver. Skamokawa is upriver and those ships pass right by Vista Park. You'll get some great photographs and the kids will love seeing huge ocean liners and even cruise ships passing by during your visit.

    Skamokawa is a friendly quaint little town. If you visit in August be sure to check out the Wakhaikum County Fair. You can walk to the fairgrounds from the park (the town in so small you can walk to anywhere in town from the park.)  Be sure to visit the Friends of Skamokawa/River Life Interpretive Center when you're there.

    Thousand Trails Long Beach

    Great location, but kinda cramped

    I'm going to say we had a great time here for our 10-day stay... partially because of the space we got... read on...

    Let's just say... on your way in there may be quite the squabble when parking. The spaces are very tight at 90 degree angles to the road. This requires backing skill level 10! The north side and middle give little room for it, and the south side has an area that at least gives some wiggle room. Check there first if you're not sure of your skill. While doing this everyone seemed very friendly and accommodating. They had to do it too.

    The next thing to look for... EVEN NUMBERED SPOTS! The odd numbered spots all have the sewer on the wrong side requiring a very long sewer hose extension that the hardware store nearby does have. Denis's Ace Hardware! I will say though... good luck finding an even numbered space. This place is busy, they're probably all already taken. It does seem like laziness of the park owners to not do some simple trenching and piping to fix this issue. Either way, get here at check in. The later you come the more likely you'll get the last space available.

    We got lucky and parked at the end by the dog park in an odd spot. The gentleman behind us was in an even spot and had us pull into it when he left the following morning. We barely had to do any backing at all as we just drove through our old spot into his. My opinion on spots... that even numbered one across from the dog park (space 90) is the best and has a good amount of private room due to the tree there.

    Now that setup is complete... the rest of the review...

    The park is a little cramped but in a fantastic location! Just a quick 5 minute walk to the beach. The sunsets are beautiful! The staff were all super friendly as were every single person we met at this park. We met quite a few full timers with great information! I can't describe the facilities much as we didn't use them. Everything looked well kept though. The little dog park was a great place for our Husky and Corgi to be off leash for a bit. Plenty of state parks around and Long Beach and Astoria are cute nearby towns.
