    The Lamp Camp

    Great Ocean Access

    The RV sites are large, but just gravel. The tent sites are great, especially towards the ocean. Bathrooms are really nice. Big showers. Nice outside areas- cooking area, games, benches, lights along the bath to a beautiful quiet beach. Expensive, but worth it for the night.

    Dispersed Camping Near Cannon Beach

    Overnight/Couple days

    Its got plenty of places to set up for the night. Its got roads that lead in multiple directions, all ending up at a location or passing by one. Most are off the road in a turn out, but there are some ones that are enclosed at the end of a road. Some roads are blocked due to fallen trees and people made a camp. Its pretty sweet. Stayed three days, did some hiking and its close to the coast so going into town for the day is a option. Roads are narrow. Not recommended for large longer vehicles

    Dispersed Camping Near Cannon Beach

    Sign says they will lock the gate

    Right at the start of the road, sign that says "gate ahead" and you'll be locked in. Not worth the risk. No other easy free campsites in the area. Lame, Oregon.

    Fort Stevens State Park Campground

    Gorgeous campground, so much to do nearby, bring a bike!

    It's pretty big! There's some really, really lovely trails here abundant with native plants and spilling over with huckleberries in september. At least in my loop, pretty much everyone was a senior citizen, so when it got dark it was dead freaking quiet. No partying or kids playing. I can imagine this campground attracts a lot of older people due to the whole military thing. There's a lot to see here and quite spread out so I would bring a bike. I really enjoyed a spontaneous kayak rental at the lake, seeing the shipwreck at sunset, and the elk grazing nearby which I could see from my picnic table. My only complaint is the HUGE root in my campsite, upending the pavement pad. The little mountain was probably 9" at its peak. My low clearance vehicle could not clear it, so I had to park at the front of the long driveway. I would have felt more secure and private tucked away towards the back of the driveway but it is what it is. I did manage to trip on it twice, as well. Seems like a hazard in a park that attract so many older people. I let a ranger know. I did not experience mosquitos like what was reported a few years back.

    Nehalem River Park & Campground

    Great beach access, but prepare yourself for steep dunes - clean campground

    I thought this was a great campground especially for families. There was some noise into the night, to be expected for a campground with so many amenities for kids to enjoy. But I would return because it was so clean and the beach is gorgeous. I wish it was a little more wooded/shrubby between camps, but I didn't feel like I was breathing my neighbor's exhale so that's fine. I saw reviews about the dunes being pretty big to get to the beach and I didn't really believe them until I was heading back into camp at night, yeah that hill is a lot coming back up so beware. I would avoid bringing my grandpa here.

    Sea Ranch Resort

    Very handy for exploring Cannon Beach

    Sites are small, close together, and just barely fit the equipment they are tagged to fit. Bathroom is clean, has hot showers with a single hook and no bench for toiletries. Walk to town is very easy as is the walk to the beach.
