Best Campgrounds near Depoe Bay, OR

1,011 Reviews

Several good camping spots surround the small coastal town of Depoe Bay on the Oregon coast. Beverly Beach State Park Campground sits among old-growth trees just a short drive away, with clean bathrooms, showers, and a path that leads right to the beach. South Beach State Park Campground, located a bit further south, has bigger campsites and puts you close to nature trails and the Oregon Coast Aquarium. If you need an RV spot, Sea and Sand RV Park is about four miles from Depoe Bay with full hookups and good access to nearby beach towns. Cape Lookout State Park Campground takes longer to reach but rewards campers with great ocean views and hiking trails. Most people who camp in this area spend their time walking the beaches, hiking, or watching for whales and other wildlife. Weather changes quickly on the coast, so bring layers and rain gear no matter when you visit. The campgrounds are less crowded in spring and fall when temperatures stay mild. The Depoe Bay area has camping options that work well whether you're in a tent or driving an RV.

    Beachside State Recreation Site

    Pretty site but very close to 101

    Very pretty sites with trees separating each spot. If you can get a site near the beach that’s ideal. A lot of the sites are right near the road which can be a bit loud. Bathrooms and showers are in good condition.

    Devil’s Lake State Recreation Area Campground

    Older Park

    We were within the length limit of the pad, however, the approach to the site was really tight. Growth encroached on the approach to the pad, and we found we could not make the turn. I’ve been backing trailers for 20+ years could not fit.

    A compliment to the staff, the agent looked for any cancellation but everything was full. This got them the 3 star instead to 1 star rating.

    It’s an older park built for smaller trailers, ignore the length of the pad. Think can I make a tight turn?

    South Beach State Park Campground

    Experience was excellent

    Very peaceful especially in the tent zone. Most tents I would not want simply becouse they aren’t secluded enough. The zones with more privacy are lower I. I was in camp site I6.

    Beverly Beach State Park Campground

    Very beautiful spot, very green and unique ocean view.

    Very nice state park. Most people very friendly. Just like any campground it can be noisy. Make sure you can handle dogs barking.

    South Beach Oregon SP

    Large campground with tightly packed spots, but clean and quiet at night. Showers were nice and hot. Good access to trails and nice walk through the dunes to the beach.

    Albany-Corvallis KOA

    Nice campground - beware of rd noise

    Great campground with nicely spaced and well maintained sites. Clean restrooms, laundry and pool on site. There is a small playground too. Close to Corvalis but you do get a lot of road noise. Would come back if passing through the area.

    Siuslaw National Forest Dispersed Camping

    NOT dispersed camping! Not free! This is an ATV ohc recreation site

    Not a dispersed camping area. There are several sites with fire pits but most are not accessible because of the deep soft sand and you can see signs of people getting stuck. There's a camp host and when we visited it was $5 a night. It's loud because of ATVs and no alcohol is allowed. Accessing the ocean is a long hike.

    Beverly Beach State Park Campground

    Loud, lack of privacy, but great access to the beach

    This is a great campground for families with young kids, but not ideal if you're seeking a quiet escape. I loved the quick walk to the beach and the amazing fossil beds all along the cliffside, that very highly enjoyable. But I found myself pretty irritated back at camp due to how close the sites are to each other and a general lack of etiquette. I didn't see one group of campers in the A loop who didn't have kids, so the vibe was very much that of a playground everywhere including directly in front of my site. A parent played a game with their very loud kid in front of my site that inevitably included throwing a frisbee into the site, and not apologizing for coming into my little area. Basically zero acknowledgement that I existed from any groups around me, I thought it was pretty inconsiderate, but perhaps I was the one out of place. And maybe I got unlucky but that neighbor who came into my site was a gentle parent type who let the kid, probably 7, throw huge temper tantrums without intervention. At one point the kid decided he was annoyed with the sounds of other kids playing down the way so he started screaming to mimic them, which the parent allowed to go on until the kid felt like stopping. I fell asleep to the sound of not one but two separate families playing card games in their tents, sounded like we were all camping together. 

    Despite no fireworks signage everywhere, families were setting them off on the beach…and in general people were extremely loud, hooting and hollering. 

    Bathrooms and showers were gross, I could tell they weren't serviced enough for the huge amount of people using them. 

    Perhaps I was there on an unlucky day, or got a poor site. Perhaps there's better experiences to be had here! But...not coming back unless I really need a place to stay because there's not much option in this area.
