GuideMost of the time we have the dog park to ourselves 😍
GuideAbsolutely love the cabins at this place! We live 30 minutes away so it’s the perfect quick get away. Our dog LOVES the dog park too. Amazing views
GuideWe stayed here for about 5 days while we tested out our new trailer prior to a longer cross country trip. We are from Portland and this is a short drive from home.
Sites here are spacious and have picnic tables and firepits. We had room for our 28 foot trailer plus 2 pickups (extra charge for extra vehicle though).
Shower facilities were ok - typical campground facilities in my opinion, but at least it was an actual toilet and hot water in the showers.
Not a ton of privacy at each site, but got some shade during each day and plenty of space to stretch out and cook/eat outside or just sit and chill.
There are miles of hiking trails that are family friendly and the dog park has one of the best views I've ever seen from a dog park.
The camp host we met was super friendly and very helpful. They sell firewood and ice every evening.
GuideWe liked the location and the access to the beaches, however it was very crowded. We have dogs, but walking them was a bit difficult. There were so many pets and people it was hard to enjoy our walks.
GuideThis park has breathtaking views and a nice dog park. Most of the time I have the place to myself
Legend[ PROS ]
We came during offseason (November) and camped at this State Park for 3 nights. Man, it was so amazing. It was super quiet and empty so we felt like we had the entire park to ourselves.
A family of deer visited us every single morning/night during our stay. 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 is nestled in lots of beautiful, lush greenery. There are lots of birds, plants, and other wildlife to observe. We loved hearing coyotes yapping in evenings from the campground.
It's very peaceful and serene here. It's right by the beach and an easy walk to the coast. We also got to visit Manzanita for a little day trip and had lunch out there. Such a cute little coastal town worth checking out.
Free hot showers and really nice restrooms. I'm starting to realize that Oregon State Parks are SOOO much superior to California State Parks. The amenities at all the Oregon campgrounds I've visited are wonderful. We definitely got spoiled by camping in Oregon that it will be hard going back home to California
Very close to stores, restaurants, and gas stations if you need to pick up supplies.
[ CONS ]
GuideThe park was clean and it had a nice dog park for our dog to run in. There were rabbits all over the park which was fun to watch.
The showers and laundry were clean as well. Tmobile was nonexistent in the area and Wifi from the park was abysmal. There are a lot of full time residences here but they were all very friendly.
GuideAbsolutely loved this place! I definitely suggest making a reservation our rv Neighboors let us know that they have to book a year in advance. We are traveling through Oregon just camping with two adult 2children and our dog. They were pet friendly and all of the staff were extremely nice! There are multiple spots right on the river which we were lucky enough to snag even though it was last minute.
Nestled in the coastal forest region of Oregon, Beaver sits at approximately 180 feet elevation in a temperate rain forest climate that receives significant rainfall even during summer months. This area of Tillamook County connects inland forest camping with coastal access, creating unique opportunities for visitors seeking pet friendly camping near Beaver, Oregon. Cellular service varies significantly between campgrounds, with some dispersed sites offering surprisingly good reception despite their remote locations.
Hiking nearby trails: The Pioneer-Indian Trail (#1300) offers access to Mt. Hebo summit with only a 30-minute hike from dispersed camping areas. "The hike goes all the way to South Lake. We gave up before we got there but as it was, that was a 10 mile round trip hike," notes Sarah S., who appreciated the forest seclusion.
Fishing for trout: Stocked lakes provide excellent fishing opportunities throughout the season. At Hebo Lake Campground, visitors enjoy easy access to stocked waters. "If your looking for a campground that isn't over run and up in the mountains this one is for you. Great size sites, 2 sites are reservable others are first come first serve. Great little lake for canoeing or kayaking. Little fishing docs located at several areas around the lake," explains Jessica M.
Beach exploration: Within 30 minutes of Beaver, coastal beaches offer a different camping environment. "We have been coming here for over 20 years. We love walking across the road to the Pelican Brewery and watching the dories being launched and coming in for the day. The Sunsets are absolutely beautiful with the big haystack rock in the background," shares Dean about Cape Kiwanda RV Resort.
Secluded forest spots: Forest service campsites near Beaver provide privacy that many campers appreciate. "This is my favorite place to get away with my two daughters. The sites are well spaced with a lot of plant life between them to provide some privacy. There is a path that goes around the small lake, and if you time it right the fishing is great," writes Nick J. about his experiences at Hebo Lake.
Wildlife viewing: Many campgrounds feature resident wildlife that enhances the camping experience. "The campground has wild bunnies running through the park. The park has a playground, pool access, and a market with fresh sea food," notes Dean about Cape Kiwanda RV Resort, while other campgrounds feature deer and diverse bird species.
Weather variability: Campers appreciate the unique coastal forest climate. "I pulled in on a Wednesday to find plenty of open spots. It's a gorgeous area with plenty to do if you like to hike/explore. The lake is small - just a hair larger than a pond. At night, frogs will serenade you as the moon peeks through the trees," explains Ezequiel D. about his stay at Hebo Lake Campground.
Road access challenges: Some dispersed camping areas require careful navigation. "Its quite a distance on sometimes very rough gravel roads, with no tirn outs and sometimes large drops on one side, so be very careful with log trucks. But i made it OK with my beat up old Grand Caravan," advises Kevin R. about South Lake dispersed area.
Seasonal availability: While some campgrounds operate year-round, others have limited seasons. "Arrived around 4:30 on a Friday and only saw 2 other campers. By next morning, another 3 sites filled up. Vault toilets were pretty clean. Didn't explore anything around as it was raining the entire time I was there. Quite a few hunters in the campgrounds / parking to go hunt," reports Abby M. about her off-season experience at South Lake.
Campsite spacing considerations: At established campgrounds, site proximity varies considerably. "Drive up camping. A bit crowded, but right on the beach. Easy walk to the beach," notes Shawna M. about Cape Lookout State Park Campground, while forest campgrounds typically offer more space between sites.
Easy-access fishing spots: Lakes with docks provide safe fishing access for children. "Very peaceful, easy access to toilets, docks make it nice for kids to fish and elderly also," shares Rejeania H. about Hebo Lake Campground.
Playground amenities: Some campgrounds feature dedicated play areas for children. "This is a nice quiet campground that is spread out. Bunnies are great to watch. Close to drive on beach which is nice when you have kids," explains Neil B. about Thousand Trails Pacific City.
Educational opportunities: Wildlife watching becomes a learning experience. "When we visited mid week in July it was empty. Its quite a distance on sometimes very rough gravel roads, with no tirn outs and sometimes large drops on one side, so be very careful with log trucks," says Kevin R. about taking children to South Lake dispersed area.
Site leveling challenges: Many forest service roads and campgrounds present leveling issues for larger rigs. "This free campground is just far enough out from the coast and the city that you'll likely be alone, even on a Saturday night. Most folks coming to this area of the forest camp in the more popular (and more expensive) Hebo Lake campground," advises Chris H. about dispersed camping opportunities.
Hook-up availability: RV-friendly campgrounds offer varying levels of services. "If you're ok with no hookups, you'll love this site which is across the street from Cape Kiwanda and Pelican Brewing. Bathrooms are very clean and the grounds are well maintained. All back-in sites," explains Dan N. about Webb County Campground.
Dump station locations: Plan for waste management when selecting pet-friendly camping near Beaver. "We didn't anticipate something quite this amazing! There was no cell service but that didn't matter.
