GuideNear Newport Oregon, this state run place is clean, even with lots of people, it was quiet. Lots of shade trees and even tho the wind was howling on the beach, it was just breezy on camp.
Smaller spots but with room between them so you don’t feel cramped while you camp!
Grounds are spread out so again, lower letters are closer to ocean paths.
Clean bathrooms with decent showers.
GuideFirst off the cost. And then all the people. Again, it’s summer so expected. But noisy. Just fyi.
Surrounded by forest and homes and near Devils Lake, it’s still quiet at night. Close to town, far enough to be wild. Choice of RV spots, tents and cabins. I stayed in a cabin and it was fun. I used a personal bathroom device because the bathrooms were too far for this old gal at night. But they were clean and showers hot!!
Guide4 stars because ppl are packed in like sardines. Off season this place would be best.
This is August and of course there are lots of families with kids and adults seem to think it’s ok for them to scream around on bikes and e-bikes w/o any limits on speed and awareness of other people.
However there are a few nature trails thru some unbelievable old growth forest that is mind numbing beautiful!!!
It’s close to the ocean, so you can walk.
The campgrounds are long and spread out, the lower letters a-c have the best spots if you love the ocean. Also better WiFi signals.
There are a few people who think that they own the spots I guess and can be up doing their thing like this guy. It’s got a big ram truck. It seems to be moving his truck just to move it this morning and then later on and it loud. It’s 6:30 AM light is flashing right in my eye. I’m trying to enjoy my coffee.
Take away the people in this place would be stellar
Good access to the town. It’s only about 7 miles away to get supplies, but it’s quiet with the exception of the people and the forest is lovely.
TravelerNoisy during the day until 10pm, if the wind is blowing south then expect the smell of exhaust. No police or Ranger presence while we were there. Fine for a couple of nights. Oh, the sites were large.
GuideWe only stayed here one night, but had a wonderful experience! The main campsite by the lake only has a few sites, and some are right next to each other, so there might not be too much privacy. However, the area feels very safe and it is nicely maintained. Tables and fire pits are present in some sites and there is a bathroom close to the entrance. No trash cans from what I saw. The "lake" is more of a pond. Do not swim in it, it looks pretty foggy. There is plenty of room for cars and tents, and while we did not bring a trailer I think one could have made it down the road fine. Some areas are narrow though, so be careful. Otherwise, the road is gravely, but not too rough. Campfires are allowed in the designated pits, but not otherwise, and grills were also not allowed when we went. Propane stoves are okay! There weren't too many mosquitoes, but these other insects were rampant! I'm not sure what they were, but they are super attracted to cooking food. Every time we would cook something on the stove they would swarm and dive into the food, being boiled alive. So just be aware of that! 😆 There are some trails to explore in the area, and cell service was pretty good!
GuideIt seems there are 2 main sites - the one in the comments below where you follow the logging road, and the one at the top or the logging roads. Someone was occupying the lower site (I walked down to check it out) so I set up camp up top. Far enough away from the road that it was peaceful but passed by enough cars that I noticed. I drove up the road to see if there were any more options and turned around at the area that said no camping for next 3 miles.
ScoutThis is long, but worth it: The location is great. Right on the water, quiet and cool, spacious sites. 5mph speed limit. Got it. We drove over the speed limit. Completely our fault and we own that. We were looking for our reserved site and not paying attention to the speedometer. Our error.(Keep in mind that we are pulling a travel trailer in a campground so I can’t imagine we were going over 8, but that does not matter one bit). We found our site(that we prepaid and were told to just pull in to) and were about to back in when, suddenly, Mr. Big Wheels came zooming straight for us. My husband rolls down the window(me, expecting him to say something along the lines of oh, our campsite is full and you need to check in first…), and dude quietly yells out‘There is a strict(pause…) 5mph speed limit…Posted all over(long pause, eyes fixed on my husband). My husband says nothing. Mr. Big Wheels just stares. My husband just stares. I then lean over and whisper‘okay.’ He pauses some more, then pedals away(okay so maybe he was in a four-wheeler) and we proceed to set up camp. Time passes. Lady walks up to site and‘jokingly’ says:‘Most people stop by the office when they get here!’ Then she goes on to tell him about the rules and policies and the strict 5mph speed limit(knowingly smiling as she says this part)… Hubby just listens and simply says oh okay, the guy I talked to this morning gave me the site number and said to just pull in. She immediately stops and says oh, he’s new. I’ll have a talk with him tomorrow. Poor guy. Anyway, come stay here, enjoy the beauty and peace, and ignore the rude management, childish behavior, and unwelcoming vibe. Or not. They do not care one single bit about guests anyway. Alternative interaction:“Hi, welcome to our campground. Is this your site, as we are full right now. It is, great. Once you get settled, could you come to the office and we’ll check you in. Also, we do have a strict 5mph speed limit here so just make sure you are keeping it under 5. Thank you.”
ScoutGreat location by the beach. Information was easy to get. Lovely site.
GuideMy husband and I have tried to reserve a spot at Silver Falls SP in Oregon the last few years. This year we were very proactive in making a reservation as soon as the window opened. This is a beautiful park. Wonderful access to several water falls in the area. Sites are large. We stayed in a non hookup site with our 22 foot trailer. Things to consider - only a few trails are open to dogs so if you want to go close to the falls, visit the park at a time of the year that is cool enough for your furry friend to stay in your car. We visited in July. Skunks and raccoons came out to visit when it got dark. Just be aware that we are all sharing their home. Finally, there’s a little spot in the campground that you can access wi-fi but we weren’t able to sign on to it. If heading towards Salem, there’s a Willamette Valley overlook that can get a phone signal.
Camping spots near Falls City, Oregon cluster around the Willamette Valley and nearby coastal region, with options typically within 30-50 miles of town. The area experiences mild but rainy winters, with summer temperatures averaging 75-85°F from June through September. Elevation in the region ranges from near sea level at coastal campgrounds to approximately 1,500 feet at inland sites, affecting both temperature and precipitation levels.
Beach combing and fossil hunting: At Beverly Beach State Park Campground, the beach offers unique fossil-finding opportunities. "Nearly every rock and cliff face is littered with marine fossils of varying types and sizes and you can often find individual fossilized shells that can be collected," notes Erik C. The beach is also "popular for agate hunting along the gravel bars, particularly after big storms that uncover new stones."
Swimming and tubing: The Siletz River at Moonshine Park provides a natural water recreation area just 20 miles west of Falls City. "The main attraction is the quarry like swim hole. Good beach, great jumping cliff, Rapids suitable for kids to shoot," according to MeLinda W. Another camper mentioned their kids "love going down to the water hole to swim and look for crawdads."
Historical exploration: Champoeg State Heritage Area offers educational opportunities with period reenactments and preserved structures. As Ashley B. describes, "Along the way got to see the Champoeg Heritage site with period piece actors, wide open spaces, and the Willamette River." The park preserves the site of Oregon's first provisional government and features interpretive displays about early settlement.
Off-season tranquility: Coastal campgrounds like Cape Lookout State Park offer different experiences depending on timing. One camper noted, "We usually don't visit during the summer and even when a portion of the site is closed (sand accumulates on 'A' loop) we haven't felt like it was over packed." Winter camping provides quieter experiences with fewer crowds at many coastal locations.
Paved pathways for kids: Many campgrounds feature dedicated areas for children to ride bikes safely. At Moonshine Park, Amanda T. appreciates that "kids love riding there toys around the paved loop." The campground design includes a paved loop specifically for this purpose, making it ideal for families with young children learning to ride.
Private showers: Silver Falls State Park Campground provides high-quality bathroom facilities. Richard H. noted the "Bathrooms and showers are super nice and clean," while Champoeg offers "free, very private showers! Soap in the bathrooms!" according to Kayla S. Most state parks in the region feature shower facilities that remain open year-round.
Seasonal flooding concerns: Some campgrounds experience significant water issues during rainy seasons. At Devil's Lake State Recreation Area, Blake F. warns, "If you plan on booking a trip in the late Fall/winter, be sure to call ahead of your trip. I've been here in the fall when more than half the campsites were flooded or filled with standing water."
Mosquito preparation: Bring insect repellent, especially for coastal campgrounds in summer months. At South Beach State Park, Brian C. cautions that "Mosquitos were bad this year so bring bug spray." Multiple reviews across several campgrounds mention this issue, making it essential for summer camping preparation.
Noise considerations: Highway proximity affects some campgrounds more than others. Annie C. notes about Devil's Lake that "it is kinda loud as you are really close to the highway and on the edge of a busy town, but if you can get a tent site in the tent only area (towards the back with lots of trees) or a hookup site along the back, it's not too bad."
Educational programs: Silver Falls State Park offers structured activities for children. Kristen W. mentions "Nice educational programs for kids" among the park's features. These ranger-led programs typically run during summer months and cover topics from local wildlife to forest ecology.
Playground access: Several campgrounds feature dedicated play areas. Champoeg State Heritage Area has "a huge playground for the kids" according to Ashley B., while Scott W. notes that their "kids had a blast" with the various recreational options available.
Beach proximity: Some campgrounds offer direct beach access without driving. As Casey P. explains about Beverly Beach, "It was nice flat ground and easy access to the beach through the campground." Debbie I. similarly notes the value of "Easy access to the nature trails and to the beach" at their campground.
Site dimensions: RV owners should verify space measurements before booking. At Premier RV Resort, Ray & Terri F. caution that "the sites are fairly short and narrow. As others have mentioned, tow vehicles usually extend into or are parked partially on the roads through the CG, but the roads are fairly wide throughout the CG."
Hookup positioning: Sewer connections at some campgrounds require extra hose length. Robert D. notes at Sea and Sand RV Park that some sites had sewer connections "that required a screw on sewer connection that in some sites were 25 plus feet from the rear of the site."
Economic options: For budget-conscious RVers, fairground camping provides basic amenities at lower costs. About Polk County Fairgrounds, K L. explains it's "basically a parking lot at a fairgrounds with RV hook ups" but offers an affordable base for exploring the area.
