Best RV Parks & Resorts near Gardiner, OR

I went with a group of five ladies to visit Cape Perpetua for a weekend and we absolutely loved our stay at Washburne. The campsites are forested with a cute creek that runs through the whole area. There are showers, flush toilets, and plugs in the bathrooms. There are two open grass areas for sports and a sandbox for kids too. Its a short drive from the coast and offers full hook ups for RVs as well as an inexpensive area for tent camping. Though it was under repair at the time, we were able to set up our tents at an RV spot (without hookups) for the same price as regular camping. Its all family run here and quaint. Only a short drive from Strawberry Hill, Thor's Well, Cape Perpetua, and Yachats.

This park has full hook ups, wifi and cable box. Most sites are under the canopy of large trees and shady. They have a bathroom/shower/laundry facility.

We love the proximity to some of Roseburgs best wineries. The river is great for kayaking, swimming or fishing. The State park is adjacent to the RV park and has a wonderful kids play area, volleyball, horseshoes and a boat ramp. Great area to walk around every morning. OSU also has their Master Garden adjacent to the park. It’s a great walk while admiring all the beautiful trees and flowers.

There is great hiking about 35 miles out of town (going toward Glide). You can hike into your choice of 12 different waterfalls.

Mark and Diane are the new owners They made sure we knew to call them if we needed anything or had any issues {no issues}.

Between Waldport and Yachats on 101. Always full - reserve early. The beach is right there. Sites are separated by trees. Hosts on site. One big bathroom with showers. One smaller bathroom. Tent and trailer/rv hookups. No sewer dump on site. Closes for the winter.

The website was not kidding about not following the directions through Google Maps. The last 9 miles to the resort was really trying - the roads were narrow, twisty and winding. If you are probe to car-sickness, go slow. I took extra precaution and dabbed essential oils on myself and my children.

Our pull-through site was in the Upper Marina, #22. If you have an extra canopy for camping, I'd suggest you bring it. It got really HOT when we were there. The good news is once the sun sets behind the trees, around 6pm, it makes eating dinner at the picnic table so comfortable and cooling.

My husband and children perused the bathroom/shower facilities which was just across from our campsite. He said it was spacious - a shower + private bathroom + sink setup and wide enough for a family.

Access to the swimming beach/boat launch is just a short 3 minutes walk. You just have to exercise caution because you will be crossing a main road (cars and big logging trucks rumble along often enough during the week).

The swimming (sandy) beach is cosy (read: tiny). There are no lifeguards on duty but enough trees offering shade for parents/families to sit back and keep watch.

You would have to drive back 5 minutes down the road to visit the Lodge for supplies or ice. The Lodge also provides some light refreshments* (deli sandwiches and ice-cream).

Our site offered full hook-ups including cable (limited channels). WIFI* was a disappointment though - we had to create an account for a complimentary hour of WIFI usage every day. Together with the zero cell reception, it renders us completely off the grid. It's great really to totally relax your mind and body but it is worrisome for that what-if's scenarios.

*Ice-cream was very pricey for the single not-generous scoop in a plastic cup that we bought for each of us. Because of the steep prices and WIFI availability (you have to pay if you want to get connected), I could only give a rating of 3.5/5 stars.

Otherwise, we had a great time at the RV resort. The sites are appealing for huge family reunion (we witnessed such a reunion during our trip). We will be back! 😊

We are a family of 4 (2 young boys with no pets). We traveled with a travel trailer.

Close RV hookups and lots of traffic. Close to town. Seperate fenced hike and bike area next to garbage dumpster. Nice lockers where you can store valuables and charge batteries. Yurts!

This is a very large (160 spot) campground with RV hookup and tent sites. There’s a great day use area as well. Bathrooms are clean and showers are available. Great place to stay. Just read all the other reviews.

I’ve been coming to the Winchester Bay RV Resort for over 30 years. It is , by far, my favorite place to camp on the OR coast! They do not have tent sites, but if you have an RV, you will love it! It’s nestled between the marina and the Umpqua river heading out to the ocean.

This campground has multiple beach front campsites with amazing views of a sandy, surf heavy part of the OR coast. Short driving distances to Yachats (check out Yachats Brewing for incredible food, kombucha, and fermentables of all sorts!), Cape Perpetua, multiple state parks all make this a great spot to stay. All sites have picnic tables and fire pits. Many sites that are off the beach also have full rv hookups. My favorite place to stay. Site 17 is nearly perfect! Every site is a less than 5 minute walk to the beach.

Elks Lodge 357 has asphalt parking with 30AMP and water only. No swear. No wifi. 

From Elks Lodge 357 web site: State Association Edit VHP Elks Home> Local Lodges> OR SOUTH CENTRAL District No. 7480 Lodge Facilities Lodge Rv Spaces 5 Electrical and water RV spaces and up to 8 or more dry camping spaces. On Site Dump Station. Also Hi Speed Wireless Internet. FCFS Donation of$15.00 per day. We do not take reservations for RV spots but generally we have space available.

Easy reservation system, had to call a couple times for questions, and staff extremely helpful and friendly. Received an email about 2 weeks before our departure to the RV site that said they had to move our site due to a long term rental that came in. Little dissapointed as we wanted a spot w/more space between sites. But we were just passing thru staying only 1 night, so not a deal breaker.

The campground itself is pretty typical of Thousand Trails. There are only a few sites that are FHU, one of which we stayed in after moving from a no sewer site after a few days. There are, however, grey water disposals throughout the park. When we were there, they were unusable because the water in them wouldn't drain. The rangers advised us not to use them and to dump stuff in the toilets. The toilets near our first site were closed for maintenance, so it was a trek to dispose of grey water.

We did have someone steal a full 5 gallon gas can which was not locked up while we were there. Our neighbors had their propane tank stolen. The Rangers indicated that they do have people who walk through the park and take things, mostly bikes. Locking up things is a must. We used the pool, the hot tubs, and the main lodge showers, all of which were nice. We will definitely stay there again. The Rangers were helpful and professional. They charge $5 per package delivery if it is RV Parts or Medications.
