"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."
$25 - $68 / night

"Cool location near the ocean. Walking or biking to the jetty was fun. The jetty offers a unique landscape. The RV and camp sites are solid. Some really good ones, and others very basic and open."
"Close to the tide pools in Barview, right on the beach, on the entrance to Tillamook Bay. Large clean bathrooms with several hot showers."
"Fun spot on the Oregon coast. Very clean. Loved the spaces, cement pads for your outdoor living. Good Wi-Fi. Friendly staff."
"I enjoyed walking my dogs out to see the birds, crabbers, and seals. I was there in a low season month and it was extremely peaceful."
"The GC itself is very quiet, but there is a fair bit of road noise from US-101, which runs right next to the CG. There is a grassy dog area, along with a mowed path between their wall/fence and 101."
"Not a bad drive into Tillamook. A little further to some nice beaches and state park areas. Friendly staff. Decent amount of road noise."
$50 - $350 / night
"The annual "Sunsets and Crabs" event by the Teardroppers of Oregon and Washington has been held here for a several years, and it is an amazing event."
"Other than that it’s a decent camp ground in a great spot on the Oregon coast and a dry camp spot was only $26. Hard to beat that!"

"If you have a kid who loves history, the Oregon Trail, Little House on the Prairie, and dressing in character, this is your spot! Even during Covid! "
"Fishing is also really close by at Bayview Jetty.. All in all a good experience with my family"
"After a full day or visiting the Northwest coast of Oregon all day. We needed to find a place to stay around Nehalem."
"I arrived around 6pm and only a few of their 10 tent sites were occupied. I grabbed spot 4 on the end so I had neighbors across and next to me but only on one side."
GuideMy mistake, these coordinates took us to the top of the mountain. It is currently an active logging area, so the truckers are out at 3am. The road up was a very narrow road. So careful if there’s other cars coming through, especially the logging semis.
Nonetheless a cool spot. Dry camping. Please clean up after yourselves.
ScoutExpensive ($80-90/night) but great facilities in a good location. Great showers, internet, hookups, pool and campsites. Relatively quiet… not a KOA.
ScoutWe were able to get a site later on in the evening due to their easy after-hours process! Site is clean. Very friendly campers.
ScoutGreat place!! Extremely clean! Friendly staff!! Just a little tight for my liking!! Would go back in the winter months!
ScoutFirst day campgrounds were open, weather was semi rainy, stayed three nights at site A4. A huge site, could have set up multiple tents. Cost to camp, $20.00 per night. 2nd vehicle free. I was pretty much alone for the whole time. ,
TravelerI setup camp at one of the spots here 3 nights in a row & had no visitors the entire time! Very quiet & can hear some noise in the distance from time to time, but was pleasantly surprised by the peace & quiet I got up here. I had my 3 dogs with me & only one night did they make a fuss about something outside the tent, but I assumed it was due to the pack of coyotes howling in the distance (not close!). They were just extra on edge. A little bit of trash in various different spots on this mountain which is a bummer, but I tried to clean up the spot i was in to the best of my ability for the next camper!
GuideLovely clean park with all the amenities. Nice short walk into town where there were plenty of nice restaurants. Was surprised when we got here to see it so busy as everywhere else we'd been were quite empty. The owner is lovely and friendly and really helpful about the area. Very nice clean manicured park.
GuideI happened upon this little campground on the way to Olympic national Park. It was a pleasant surprise to be here. Half of the sites have electric and water. The other half don’t. It’s a nice drive-through. There are RV sites tent, sites, yachts, and a shower house.
Scout$38 to pitch a tent in the grass is an absolute joke. Especially for the fact it's on a main road and cars wake you up all night. It's also like a damn zoo here. All night long there were otters splashing around in the water behind me, things running though the bushes, bats squeaking in the trees, and when I finally started to get some sleep around 5am, the crows and other birds started going crazy for the morning feeding. Not a single moment of peace the whole night.
