Best Campgrounds near Hammond, OR

A great place to camp, so much to do. The historical site was very interesting they have a 23 hole Frisbee golf course, a couple trails the beach was a good distance we drove there to see the shipwreck. Bathrooms were always clean. We had a really good time camping here!

Super clean, nice place. Trails are awesome. Showers and bathrooms if u don’t want to use yours. Lots of R.V. sites.

My wife & I have stayed here two times, both in June. We used our Starlight small tent trailer. We had a battery issue once and they allowed us pull a cord to their wood shed for power. Its a very clean place. The owners/staff are super friendly. We brought our bike and rode into town and to the beach. It's also a lovely walk. We came both years for the Canon Beach Sand Sculpture Contest. Lots of fun. 

The one (maybe only) downfall is that it is adjacent to Hwy 101, so there is occasional traffic (sometimes loud trucks) throughout the night, 

We also had some elk visit (they say the elk are their off-season guests). Reserve early, as there are many repeat campers here who book the next year before they leave.

Staff are nice, park is near beach and town. Lots of things to do!

I had a reservation for Friday, March 21 to Sunday, March 23. I arrived after hours and just drove right in to my campsite. The campground is set up in sections A, B, C, and D. Section D is near the entrance along a lake. The other sections are down a long drive close to the beach. Section C was closed. Each section is divided into smaller circles of 10 campsites each. Although there is not much privacy between sites, the sites are still spacious and mine backed up to woods. My trailer has a large stargazer window on the back and I was able to leave my shades open most of the time. Section A also has full hook-ups. While my loop was farthest from the beach, you could still hear the ocean which is lovely and relaxing. It's not a far walk to the beach and my toddler did it easily. Once on the beach, there is a big sign with a giant A so you can find your way back should you go for a walk. There are two lighthouses in the park, trails, jetty, and an interperative center. Once out of the park, Long Beach is a short drive. I enjoyed our time and would love to go back for a longer trip.

I got zero reception in the campground. I use Verizon.

Elk Creek Campground in Oregon is a real paradise for those looking for peace and unity with nature. I stumbled upon this place quite by accident when I was vacationing on the LuckyTrunk website. I saw a photo of this campsite in the ad block, and something inside me made me immediately add it to the list of places worth visiting. And I was right- this place left an unforgettable impression. Elk Creek is located near Highway 6, which makes it easily accessible even for those who are not used to long-distance travel. The campsite is located in the heart of the Tillamook State Forest, surrounded by majestic Douglas firs that create an atmosphere of comfort and harmony. There is no city noise or bustle here- only nature, fresh air and tranquility. The peculiarity of this campsite is its simplicity and convenience. All tent sites are pedestrianized, which adds to the sense of privacy. Each campsite is well screened by trees, has its own parking, a fire pit with a grill for cooking, and a special platform for a tent. Although there are no RV hookups, many sites are suitable for small trailers or campers.

This is what the title says. It's a large pull out on a quiet road in the woods.

There were other campers when we arrived. Very nice for a late night pull in. Not somewhere I would settle in for a few days, just a stop over.

The hike to the falls is to the far left of the pullout. Do NOT go down the super steep trails to the right. Beautiful waterfall after a short hike.

Have been coming here my whole since I was a kid. It’s one of my favorites and they got hit hard with the heavy rains. No wind but man it was muddy at our site

Great little spot. Watch your GPS and use some dead reckoning with the topographic map. There is a little side road that gets a bit narrow and then opens into a beautiful spot.

Picked up a small bag of someone else’s trash. Don’t leave trash in the woods — pick up after yourself

Road is fine and easy. AWD is nice but isn’t necessary if the road is fairly dry.

Our friends have stayed here a few times for razor clam digging and seemed fine with it, so we tried it. We stayed 2 nights during a mid-November clam dig. There is a string of long-term campers and a string of short-term spots. It was really empty, so there were no close neighbors. I could see how it would be overly snug during a busy session with how close the sites are together. You literally have enough room for a slide out and 5 feet or so to the next site's picnic table. The covered fish cleaning station was very nice to clean clams. It's an older looking campground but we were happy with it.

Oregon is well known for it's magnificent state parks, and this is no exception. The campground is huge, probably some 400+ spaces; well cared for & clean, with an abundance of hiking trails & historical sites to explore. Unfortunately in May, the mosquitos were out in full force in the campground. This campground serves as an excellent base camp to explore the northern Oregon coast and southern 

Washington coast

A bit crowded and the sites are a bit close together but its a nice campground.

I had researched this park quite awhile beforehand and was interested based on the reviews posted here. It looked pretty nice. Unfortunately when we were able to preview it by driving through I was surprised to find out it was not at all what I had seen in reviews. This place is on the edge of a small town and it looks like it is occupied by long term tenants with a lot of paraphernalia and personal belongings strewn about. For us, traveling for vacation and sightseeing it would not be a place we'd wanna stay. We did have dinner and really enjoyed it in the little town of Vernonia where it is located and that was great. The park is also adjacent to a fantastic walking biking trail and it's next to a city park.

The owner, the place, and all of its contents are absolutely dreadful; Before i left i learned that she (Sue Hart) has several lawsuits out against her from previous tenants for various shady unlawful behavior, among them being conning people with bs electric bills and refusing to keep her shit boxes up to standard for human beings to be in, one man died from a fire that occured there which went under investigation and I remain unsure of the outcome of that but the trailer that i was temporarily in caught fire from the outside and the maintenence man just happened to pass by noticing it and alerted us thank god and when it got back to Sue she had the nerve to try to blame myself and my elderly mother for it saying we had too much plugged in and running at once when we did not! .. Place absolutely reeks of cat piss and wood rot, please don't waste your money on this overpriced meth market with a total creepo as her right hand man for a "security guard" of the park whose "office" is located right and i mean RIGHT by the ladies showers… uhh, how that is even a thing is beyond me but watch yourselves and your young kids- the pedo vibes are real so enter at your own risk.. but honestly, just please don't.. much love 🙏

This is a good place and being right by the water was fun.

Unless you manage to get one of the nice spots, you’re essentially paying a premium to park on grass with no privacy. It’s a beautiful area: but pick your site wisely.

There is so much to do here and every time I've been to Ft. Stevens, we just scratch the surface.  We were down here in August as the last stop on our family vacation and we discovered a whole section of the park we didn't know was there!  This time, it was just me and my kiddo.  We came down for a rally put on by a PNW based group of the brand trailer I own.  The majority of the group was in loops O and N, though there were some of us (myself included) in other parts of the campground.  I ended up in loop M, which has full hook-ups so that was nice.  This was my first rally and it was my first big solo trip with just me and my kiddo.  The sites in loop M do seem sort of close together depending on where you are in the loop.  There are also a lot of trees, which could contribute to that feeling.  My back-in site, M04, was partially secluded with a row of shrubs between M04 and M05 and some shrubs and trees behind me.  I could see the road and the yurt village from my back window.  There is also a paved trail that goes along side the road.  If you go down into loop O, there is little trail that takes you over to the south parking area of Coffenbury Lake where you can pick up the 2 mile dirt trail around the lake.  FYI...no matter how fancy your fancy all terrain running stroller might be, it won't work on this trail.  Never fear though, there are plenty of paved bike trails that will get you throughout the park!  The only reason I am giving 4 starts instead of 5 is because I have a toddler that likes playgrounds.  The only playground is in the north campground.  It wasn't a long walk, but there were no paved trails which put us in the bike lane of the main road going into and out of the campground.  When it is busy, there are a lot of big vehicles going in and out.  It would have been nice to have a playground in the south campground or have a continuation of the paved path next to the road.  Verizon phone service is meh.  I had no issues calling or texting my husband, anything else was spotty as I had one or two bars.  While I don't go camping to scroll about on the internet, I do have a toddler that has a much earlier bedtime than me so it's nice to be able to catch up on social media or put in some earbuds and watch a movie on my phone or watch youtube.  Couldn't do any of that.
