    Cape Lookout State Park Campground

    Wonderful!

    We stayed in a cabin here. The cabin was great, perfect size for relaxing for a few days. The kitchen/fridge/front porch grill were great. Full bathroom. We used an air mattress on the bed over the pad that was provided.

    The trees/forest were beautiful, and so was the ocean, which is a short walk away. You can sit on the front porch and watch the sunset through the trees while listening to crashing waves. That's hard to beat! We also hiked to Cape Lookout (a little over 9 miles out and back from the cabin). Great vacation!

    Cape Kiwanda RV Resort and Marketplace

    Cute cabin!

    We headed to the Pacific City in search of fresh air in mid September when much of Oregon was consumed by wildfire smoke. The friendly staff at Cape Kiwanda RV Resort were very welcoming and we opted to stay in one of their cute cabins as rain was forecasted. Cabin N was comfortable and had electric heat, a TV, dorm fridge, microwave, porch swing, outdoor water, BBQ grill, picnic table and outdoor firepit.  The campground had cute wild bunnies hoping around, and amenities such as a playground, full market, and pool.  It's located a quick walk from a beautiful sandy beach, brew pub, coffee shop and other convenient options are nearby.

    Tillamook Bay City RV Park

    Basic, Clean. Good Location.

    I'm not a fan of drive-through/parking-lot-type RV parks, preferring national parks with lots of trees, but this place is nice, basic, friendly, and most of all clean. There's also some nice tent spots on grass/slightly under trees. A great location when you can't find more of a campground. The showers take quarters, which is a bit of a bummer, but overall just fine for a night or two. The location is great. Across the road from the beach, about a mile from Bay City and 5 from Tillamook.

    Thousand Trails Pacific City

    Best camping on the Oregon Coast

    Lots of options here. Tent sites and small cabins that are somewhat private. There are good bathrooms with showers on site, a sand volleyball court, a store, little wild bunnies running around, and great fire pits at each site. What more could you ask for!? The ocean is a 5 minute walk from the site and you can rent sandboards to ride down the dunes of Cape Kiwanda (it's a serious workout!). Not to be missed.

    Kampers West RV Park

    Enjoyed the rustic cabin!

    Wanting to avoid the wildfire smoke in September, we headed to the coast in search of fresher air.  With rain in the forecast, we opted to stay in one of the cute rustic cabins at Kampers West RV Park. The front desk staff were welcoming when we arrived.  The cabin was basic but comfortable the night. It had a full bed and bunk bed, table, chair and heater.  Kampers West is conveniently located near Fort Stevens State Park and Lewis and Clark National Historical Park / Fort Clatsop and the The Fort To Sea Trail hiking in Warrenton.

    Fort Stevens State Park Campground

    RV-camping

    Loved this State Park! The trails around it were fun and led from the camp right up to the beach by the old ship wreck. My kids ages 2-14 always had something to do and we brought our bikes. The camping sites and RV sites are cheap compared to Utah, Washington and Idaho rates, but they were also very nice! A little close together but nice. You have to book your site months in advance at this place because it fills up fast. So much to do in this area! Close to seaside, the fort Stevens retired military site was free and interesting-with a scavenger hunt and prize at the end for the kids who complete it. Also, close to Astoria which also has many things to do! Loved that it was close enough to drive over the Columbia River to get to Washington to see the light houses!

    Fort Stevens State Park Campground

    Nice park, great trails

    The park is large but there are only around 5 tent spots available.  The tent sites are nice size and level with a fire ring and picnic table.  There is lots of foliage around the site so you have some privacy.  The tent area is on the same loop as cabins so there isn't a lot of RV traffic.  There is lots to do at this park and wildlife to see. The only down side is the loop is close to the entrance so there is some traffic noise as campers come and go through the night.

    Thousand Trails Seaside

    Very close to ammenaties

    The campground is split up into two sides. The north side and the south side. The north side has the getaway cabins, and cottages. It also has the pool/hot tub, cafe, group fire pit, kids play ground, and overflow parking. Pickleball/tennis courts. The north side is also the only side that has 50A power. The south side is all 30A. The tent sites are also on the north side. 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. It’s usually 20-30 degrees cooler, than inland. So when the heat hits the valley, everyone runs to the coastline. So it can get crowded. You have to be careful with your kids. People don’t drive the speed limit. It’s 5mph. They drive like they are in the raceway. The Clatsop county beaches, have the best razor clam digging, in Oregon. On every minus tide, in the winter and spring, you have some of the best razor clams, this far south of Alaska. Usually from he first of October, to July 15th, all minus tides will expose the clam beds enough to walk out and get a delicious meal. Plus the Columbia River estuary is just 10 miles away. Which is the place of the world class Buoy #10 Salmon fishery, every August - October. Both Large Chinook Salmon, and the feisty smaller, Coho (silver) salmon. You also have fresh crabbing available in town, and behind the old high school, or drop a few pots while out salmon fishing, for a great fresh seafood meal.


Guide to Bay City

Cabins near Bay City, Oregon range from basic rustic structures to more elaborate accommodations with waterfront views. Located along the northern Oregon coast where Highway 101 meets Tillamook Bay, this area receives approximately 90 inches of annual rainfall with summer temperatures averaging 65-70°F. Winter cabin camping typically requires additional preparation for frequent rain events and temperatures that rarely drop below freezing.

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.
