Barview Jetty County Campground offers cabin options within walking distance of the beach, providing simple lodging with picnic tables and fire rings outside.

Especially fun for families with kids," noted one visitor about the distinctive accommodations at Twins Ranch.

According to one visitor, "The camp hosts were responsive throughout the stay and keep the property very tidy." Most cabins require advance booking through online reservation systems, with typical check-in times starting at 3:00 PM and check-out by noon.
Standard cabin furnishings typically include beds with mattresses, but guests should bring their own bedding, pillows, and towels. Kitchen facilities vary widely between properties—some cabins feature small refrigerators and microwaves while others provide only outdoor cooking options with fire rings. Nearby Tillamook offers grocery stores for supplies, though several campgrounds maintain small on-site stores with firewood and essentials. Bathroom facilities range from private in-cabin bathrooms to shared campground restrooms with pay showers. Twins Ranch offers unique covered wagon accommodations that sleep up to four people on futon mattresses, providing a distinctive lodging experience for families interested in a historical theme.

OK
Site was OK for a one night stay. When we arrived we immediately noticed trash in the site. As this campground is next to dunes there is a ton of noise. Our neighbors were revving their dirt bikes (not even riding them) past midnight. No hookups. Close to the water.
Erik M.GuideBarview Jetty County Campground
An Oregon coast staple, but could use improvement
We stayed in the RV area. As stated in other reviews, the spaces are pretty much on top of each other, with little privacy. It would be nice if they cut a few spaces out and added some trees or bushes between the spaces. Bathrooms are hit and miss, like most campground bathrooms. Nice playground for kids, easy access to the beach.

Level Paved Sites, Good Restrooms
Paved roads a little narrow so more challenging to back-in 90-degree sites vs. 45-degree angled sites. Good restrooms with flush toilets and h/c water sinks. Hot showers included as part of camping fee. Two dump stations at entrance use honor system to pay $10 via cell-phone app. Nice beach walks over sand dunes to long flat beach. Expect wind on beach. Some sites a little close together but ok overall. Expect lots of families with kids in summer and on weekends. Overall a good stay.

Marine/campground
Long term renters are really nice. Facilities include laundry, showers, a kitchen, boat ramp, pool. Most sites are full hookup. It was select your own free site on arrival. The manager Jess was really nice and clearly working hard.

Busy camp
Arrived late at night. Everything else pretty good but the bathroom and showers are really dirty. Camp is easy to navigate. But some people don’t respect the quiet hours. Very popular site. Hard to book in advance. No cellular signal.

What to do
Beach exploration: Take a short walk from Cape Lookout State Park Campground to access miles of shoreline. The park features both beach activities and forest trails within the same area. "Steps from tidal pools means great beach combing in dry weather," notes one visitor who enjoyed the varied coastal ecosystem.
Crabbing: Rent equipment at Jetty Fishery Marina & RV Park to catch your dinner. The marina offers crab traps and cooking services for those who don't want to prepare their catch. "We rented items to go crabbing or just eat some of their fresh clams, oysters and crab. We did a bit both! Staff is friendly and hard working," explains one reviewer who appreciated the seafood options.
Horseback riding: Schedule a guided beach ride departing from Nehalem Bay. Local stables offer hour-long rides along the shoreline with advance reservations required. "Great dune area. Always horses riding on the beach too. Super neat experience," mentions a camper who enjoyed watching the regular equestrian activities.
What campers like
Direct beach access: Nehalem Bay State Park Campground sites are a short walk from the ocean. The park features a two-mile paved path through woods and along the bay for both walking and cycling. "There is a man made burm that keeps some wind from coming into the campground. You can walk to the beach and see sunsets and hang gliders coming off the mountain," reports one camper.
Waterfront sites: Several campgrounds offer premium spots directly overlooking water. At Netarts Bay RV Park, bayfront sites provide continuous views of water activities. "Beautiful RV park, the staff is amazing and friendly. All facilities are incredibly maintained. The park is quiet and right next to the bay," notes a visitor who appreciated the waterfront location.
Historic accommodations: Twins Ranch LLC offers authentic covered wagon lodging for a unique overnight experience. These distinctive units provide sleeping space for up to four people on futon mattresses. "If you have a kid who loves history, the Oregon Trail, Little House on the Prairie, and dressing in character, this is your spot! My kids went on walks and collected berries, leaves, buds and lots of memories," shares one family who enjoyed the historical theme.
What you should know
Varying privacy levels: Sites at many coastal campgrounds offer different degrees of seclusion. Some loops provide more separation between campsites than others. "Most of the tent sites are fairly open, some of them have more privacy, but all of them are very green and incredibly close to the beach while still being somewhat protected from the wind coming off of the ocean," explains a camper at Barview Jetty County Campground.
Seasonal considerations: Winter cabin rentals can provide storm-watching opportunities. Cabins with electricity and heat allow for comfortable off-season stays. "Cabins are safe and stormproof for great storm watching in winter/spring months," notes one visitor who enjoyed the shoulder season experience.
