"Such a great place to stay on the Oregon coast! I love this campground because it’s on the coast, very beautiful and spacious. Great sites around to see including the mouth of the Columbia River."
"Compared to many places this is still a five star campground, but I like others in Oregon better. This one can get quite crowded and tends to be a little more loud and rainy."
$45 / night
"Just across from the state park where you can take beach walks and enjoy sunsets. Clean and spacious showers and bathrooms."
"Everyone in the general camping areas kept distance or was masked up. Appreciate that codes are given out to gain access to the bathrooms (very clean)."
$40 / night
"The longer distance to awesome northern Oregon beaches isn't that bad, and there's the Longbeaxh area near by to check out as well!"
"This campground has great accessibility to the beach and is often much less crowded than the northern Oregon coast."
"We stayed away from our coastal communities during the first year of the pandemic, but now we wanted to get back and support our home away from home."
"Really well maintained and just 10 minutes away from the beach in Cannon Beach, it is a lovely walk from the campground to town and to the beach."
"Open year-round, this RV Park is located in the town of Seaside on the Oregon Coast."
"It gives access to all the amenities here. They took out the propane site, cause they didn’t have anyone to take care of it. We come down here to get away from the heat, inland, area."
$50 - $250 / night
"You can’t beat the location! Walk to the beach, shops and restaurants in a few minutes. The sites are close but it’s the Oregon coast. Wifi is solid and I’m able to work."
"After a mildly congested drive out to Cannon Beach, we pulled off the 101 into town. Sure enough, we were late. I called and it was no issue."
$25 - $68 / night
"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"
"Mostly an RV park tucked into the Nehalem Bay peninsula, this does offer a couple dog friendly yurts and some very friendly camp hosts."
"Oregon really doesn’t have bad campgrounds. It was raining while we were here but it’s a beautiful spot and if you’ve got an RV who cares about the rain!"
"We didn’t spend a ton of time on site, but it met all of our needs: close to town, easy to access, no problems with the size of the park or the sites."
$38 - $54 / night
"We took the kids and stroller and walked under the highway on the path/sidewalk that eventually got us down to the beach."
"It's also a lovely walk. We came both years for the Canon Beach Sand Sculpture Contest. Lots of fun. "
$15 / night
"We went there to have close access to Ocean Beach to go landsailing with some other friends. Parked our travel trailer and went all over the place in our Ranger."
"There is a path to the beach and only 10 minute drive to Astoria and Lewis and Clark National Park. Small base exchange free weight room and laundry was $5 for total visit with unlimited loads."
TravelerWe camped here with our 4 kids while in town for Soccer in the Sand. We didn’t spend a ton of time on site, but it met all of our needs: close to town, easy to access, no problems with the size of the park or the sites.
Bathrooms were clean and the showers were toasty warm! We had 4 sand-covered kids at the end of each day, and the shower head in our camper broke on night 1, so we used the bathrooms more than we usually would have!
While at the park, the kids walked down to the river and caught (and released) crawdads and looked for frogs. Grassy areas were well-maintained. We’ve already picked out our site for next year’s tournament!!
TravelerWe had a lovely time here. The site is really beautiful, and the sites seem to be really well-spread out so there’s tons of room to feel like you’re alone in nature. We showed up late-ish on a Saturday worried that the place would be all filled up, but had no trouble finding an open site.
There were shell casings and some small trash pieces around (the occasional water bottle lid, a few pieces of broken glass, etc), as other reviews noted, but no huge huge litter problem. My biggest complaint, however, is that any time we tried to explore around venturing outside of our campsite, we came upon toilet paper, which especially grossed me out having a small kid in tow. Please take care of these spaces, fellow campers! Everybody poops, so of course do what you gotta do! But please be courteous to bury or otherwise dispose of your mess, including TP.
The things I loved about the space way outweighed that complaint, however. The foliage was lovely, we could hear a variety of birds and the creek nearby—such a relaxing space. The occasional vehicle drove by on the road, but nothing bothersome. We couldn’t hear any other campers from our spot.
I had no cell service while we were there (except the option for satellite for emergencies and whatnot).
There is lots to explore nearby, and it’s a reasonable drive to Manzanita if you want to visit the coast. :)
Have fun!
(The coordinates given here didn’t take us quite far enough using Apple Maps, but just keep driving until you see Cook Creek signage, it isn’t too far at all.)
GuideSmall campsite, good for one night, up the road is logging so there were big trucks going past once at 3am once at 5am and again at 9am. It's small, only about 6 campsites but only $15 and perfect if you need a quick spot.
GuideLarge campsite, easy access to the beach for sunset, clean facilities, showers. Easy to get to multiple little towns too!
TravelerLots to do, both free and for a fee. We liked our spot a lot, but down in the open gravel area, it was less desirable.
ScoutThis is an ideal place for those who love quietness and closeness to nature, especially with experiences in the Gunspin style- free, liberal and full of exploration. Although there are no amenities such as drinking water or toilets, in return, the spacious, airy space and majestic natural scenery will bring you memorable experiences. However, it should be noted that the road to the campsite can be bumpy and narrow, so you need to prepare carefully before coming. If you are looking for a place to relax and immerse yourself in nature in the spirit of Gunspin, this is definitely an option not to be missed.Fun experience
Guide...other than the cell towers. At least I have great T-Mobile signal. Concrete pads at multiple sites. Nobody drove by all night.
ScoutThe folks in reservations are very helpful and the rangers at registrations are easy and helpful.
GuideThis was a really fantastic campsite! Definitely quite the long and slow drive up a narrow backcountry road - steep in sections but overall quite manageable. There are a few options up here but one really phenomenal site with wide ranging views. Be weary that it is a long drive to get here and no way to tell if there's sites available until you do the entire drive up. No water up here.
