Best Glamping near Gleneden Beach, OR

Great campground with lots of trees for privacy and the lake is lovely with lots of fingers that lead off the main lake so you can find solitude on the lake when fishing or just bobbing around.

There are ten Yurts for rent so if you're not up for tent camping the yurts are nice. Note there is only one pet friendly yurt and it books up quick.

Beachside is great. The yurts are the perfect thing for winter or fall camping. We like to go in the winter and watch whales, and staying in a yurt is the perfect thing for the rainy season. Because the weatehr changes by the minute, you can walk on the beach, head back to the yurt during a downpour, and back out when it stops. If you get really cold, you can take a hot shower! Not a crowded feel, even when full. Lovely views.

We stayed in a yurt over Christmas and the heater in the Yurt did not heat sufficiently. We tried to get it fixed by staff but there wasn’t anyone who could help.

We were near the lift station and the alarm was sounding off throughout our stay. Also no one remedied this.

Its a large campground and it's usually booked up year round so reserve in advance! The bathroom showers can be used by pacific coast hikers for a small fee. Bathrooms were clean. Weve camped and stayed in a yurt. Both were great. Checkin was a breeze for the yurt and all staff and volunteers were great.

I camped twice at Cape Lookout this season - in June in a yurt, and in July at the campsite right behind the dune.  

In June, it was freezing, rainy and windy, and the yurt was fantastic. The most amazing feature of the yurt was the heater. It really kept the place warm, and the yurt was spacious. We were 3 adults, and could easily have slept another one or two. Each yurt has a small patio as well as a fire ring- and inside was electricity and a power outlet. Best of all, you were still just steps away from the sunset on the beach.

For camping, there are so many different kinds of sites at Cape Lookout - Sites closer to the entrance are very woodsy, the sites closest to the beach frontage (behind the dune) are very very open, and sites along the furthest perimeter are a little more spacious and some have trees (important to note if you want to hand a line or a hammock!)

We camped at the site right behind the dune where the beach access is. It was a little noisy since everyone passed our site on the way to the beach, but very lovely to be just steps away. Each of the tent sites has a fire ring and picnic table. In both June and July when I visited there was no fire ban.

Hiking is great in the area. You're also close to Pacific City, Jacobson's Salt, the tunnel at the Oceanside Beach, and Tillamook if you're staying here longer and want to take day trips outside of the State Park.

Recommend booking early for summer campsites. The yurt I booked in June was available for booking same day.

Stayed in one of the yurts over a rainy weekend. The yurt was clean and had plenty enough space for two people. Between the bunk bed and the fold out couch, there was ample room to sit, sleep, and store your stuff. The surrounding beach was gorgeous, simply taking a hike during low tide was an amazing experience. Bathrooms and showers were also nice and clean.

I stayed in one of the dog friendly yurts that they offerend at Devils Lake, and had a great time. It is very nice, and well maintained. You can either set up a tent, stay in a yurt, or bring your camper. The campsite is not too far from town, and walkable distance to the beach. You also have a nice path back to your own lake! Not a lot of people crowd the lake either, so it is a lovely getaway!

Good yurt I got to share with my dog

I have stayed here a few times mostly when the kids were younger, but recently stayed here in a Yurt.

Its basicalky a RV type place..crowded sites, no privacy  and tons of screaming kids.

Its clean and there are some trails ( one very easy ) to the beach which is quite nice.

The hosts are excellent if busy.

The Yurt was great , but be prepared for the fog horns going off all night on the jetty.

Good for RVs and kids,

just off the hwy but quite, stayed in the handicap yurt. Was my B-day so we were just walked to the bar.

We stayed in a yurt (my first time). It was great. It had heat and electricity! Campground was very clean!

Just a correction, before the rest of the review. There are no sewer hookups for RVs. Only a dump station. 

I loved this campground for many things, but the 10-15 minute walk to the beach was my favorite part. We stayed a week. 

A couple things of note: Playground for kids in loop C; showers are now open; Yurts are available for $60 a night, and you can park a camper at each yurt, too (just pay extra vehicle charge), and last, Newport is home to Rogue Brewery and within an hour from Monmouth and Salem wineries. Check Groupon for some great specials on these.

The yurt sites are big enough for a tent also. Short walk to the beach. There are lots of things to visit within a short drive.

We rented a yurt for the weekend and are so happy that we did! Comfortable, next to the restroom, clean, comfortable beds! Great family oriented park. Moorage docking area, just beautiful.

I LOVED this place! I was really impressed with the closeness to the beach and how secluded it was. Although that could be due to it being January. After being wind blown but having a blast on the beach it was great to walk back to our yurt and warm up. When we arrived there was already an air purifier and the heater running. It was super cozy in there. Both my husband and I slept like babies on the beds - don’t forget your own sleeping bags though of course.

I was impressed with the sweet smelling restrooms and hot (free) shower. Everyone was quiet and respectful and masks were required in the restrooms and facilities and such. One of the nicest yurts I’ve stayed at!

This place used to be a great place to rent. The host was super friendly and nice. We were regulars who rented yurts a couple of times a year with a group of people. Not sure what has changed, but it has gone downhill. We just rented 4 yurts amongst us and all four yurts got charged a$30 cleaning fee. I don't usually look over my credit card statements and luckily my friend looked at his and told me to check mine. I was also charged twice for a one-day extra car parking and also got an extra$72.48 charge for who knows what. My friends called to dispute the$30 charge which is nowhere on their website or the reservation receipt. We've stayed here for years without such a fee. The only one who got his fee reversed was the one who threatened to get a lawyer. The remainder 3 of us had to dispute the charges with our credit card company since Bay City RV Park would not reverse the charges. If you've reserved recently, go check your bill and get for cleaning fee charge reversed. We will never reverse from this place again and hope to prevent others from being overcharged.

rough it or not up to you. Yurts and full hookup sites as well as beautiful secluded tent sites. first come first serve showers potable water and real toilets.

South Beach SP Oregon Site B1 Memorial Weekend Crowded but nice. Some loops very narrow rods and lots of kids on bikes. We were in a back in end site. A bit more room but beach access walkway next to us meant a lot of foot traffic. Large open beach with small waves. Access is ADA friendly. Level asphalt pad. Minimal privacy from trees but they do provide some shade. So.e skeeters but not to bad yet. Large trees at rear or site. Average bathhouse close by. CG has yurts, and tent sites too. Great restaurant close to SP has fresh crab, salmon, halibut and cod. Right next to it is a fresh cherry stand

The Yurts looked awesome.  A good choice instead of a hotel if you’re on a budget.  Showers and bathrooms are as nice as a hotel.  Immaculately clean.  They sell firewood and ice too.  Wonderful, easy trails and wooded area.  The beach access was easy.  There is a boardwalk.  Horses allowed on the beach.  Cool at night and noisy on the weekends though.  

A big plus for families is how close it is to Newport with all of its tourist attractions.  Historic bay front, fresh crab and seafood, sea lions on the dock.  Gorgeous Yaquina Bay National Park and lighthouse.  Lots of wildlife.  And don’t forget the Oregon Coast Aquarium and Hatfield Marine Science Center!

Very close to the beach, but also has some highway noise. Seems likemoere of an RV spot but there are tent spots as well as yurts available. Really cool bridge right next to the campground on the way to the beach!

The beach near bye. Curfew was awesome. Quiet time. Clean and friendly. Can't wait to come back. Fun crazy trails to explore. Lots of different amazing sites. Their is Yurts, tents, van life, rv pull through or back ins. The beach is so amazing.

And pet friendly.

We tried a yurt with our dog and had a great time. I highly recommend this site. The beach is a 5 minute walk with plenty of space to play and stroll. Also check out the South Trail for a fun but sometimes muddy hike.

I have been to this State park many times in the past, stayed in a yurt as well as a few of the tent sites. This park Is very family oriented and also has a group area. The beach is right around the corner from the grounds under a sweet hwy 101 bridge. This does create some traffic noise during the day, but always calms at night, allowing the sounds of the waves to lull you to sleep. They have nice clean restroom facilities with showers and onsite potable water as well as wood sales. It is located just off hwy 101 past Newport, Or. It tends to be busy in the summer, so book early and expect kids running around having fun. They also have a visitor center with literature on local points of interest.

PROS:

• proximity to beach
• Sunsets under the bridge
• Lots of campsites and yurt

CONS:

• Proximity to hwy
• Busy in summer

Camped here in May and managed to get one of the 2 Yurts available.

This is RIGHT ON 101  its a mere sliver of forest between 101 and the beach.

The yurt was amazing and at least kept the road noise to a miniumum.

The reason to come here is the magnificent almost empty beach..its breath taking great.

We strolled around the campground and it seemed to me they got it all wrong, they had the RV sites nearest the beach and furthest from 101..while the poor tenters were right up against the highway.

As a tenter there is no way i would stay here it would be unbearable without ear plugs, they should have the big RVs next to the road as tbhey dont hear a thing inside and the tents next to the beach.

But still a well maintained fanily campground with a beautiful empty beach

This campground is one of my top five faves. Right behind the dunes, bathroom with showers, shady spots and sunny spots, just right for any season. Yurts and cabins - you’ll be able to book if you’re fast enough. It’s an always booked out gem at the pacific coast!

I was thrilled with the privacy of the sites at this campground! There were sites that we quite secluded, but the park still offered loads of activities lead by staff or hiking and beach going. The facilities were clean, warm, and individual. The yurts looked like a unique camping experience as well.
