    Snag Lake Campground

    Terrible campground

    I pulled up and it looked abandoned and unsafe—something from a horror movie. The bathroom literally had trash dumped out in front and the some of the campsites were unkept. It's trek to get back there for such disappointment. Left as soon as I could, ended up sleeping at a rest area.

    Nehalem Falls Campground

    Group site rental mid week stay

    This small campground is very far off the 101 so if you are looking for a coastal vibe this is not it. Deeply wooded, green, and beautiful. One side of the campground sits alongside Nehalem river access, on hot days this is a popular hangout so expect to see a lot of people. Vault toilets after a busy summer season were ammonia rich and hard to handle. Trash receptacles and potable water available. (Old school pump) I’ve heard that it stays wet enough back there that this campsite never really has a fire ban, but always check with the camp host, they also sell fire wood. First come first serve campsites Using reserve America online. Do Not confuse this campsite with Nehalem Bay State park when reserving.

    Tillamook State Forest Dispersed Camping

    Unreal Experience

    Tillamook Forest has so many amazing dispersed camping opportunities! We turned onto Ben Smith road and then took logging trails up the peaks. We found a perfect spot that looked like we were on the edge of a cliff but was actually still very safe for our toddler. No cell service, so we just unplugged for 3 nights and enjoyed the time together. We could see the northern lights the first night we were there, and it was absolutely incredible. We had a lot of privacy. One hunter walked by, I assume he was using the nearby trail. We heard some ATVs over the days, but it wasn't disruptive. Totally recommend it, and we'll definitely be back.

    Cape Lookout State Park Campground

    VERY close to neighbors

    I believed I had my lighting situation under control, not bright and off at an appropriate time, but when I woke up the next morning, my neighbor said I had offended the stars with my toxic and harsh LEDs. Can’t win em all 🤷‍♂️

    Elk Creek Campground

    Great chill spot

    The campground itself was kept very clean and each site has basically zero trace left at it. There’s a creek and a few fun trails to explore as well

    Cape Lookout State Park Campground

    Very uneven experience depending on loop

    We have visited this campground twice over the years, the most recent as part of roadtrip back from Yosemite.  The quality of the experience really has to do with what loop you camp in.  If you look at the website for the park there is a notice that they are getting ready to do construction and it appears many of the issues will be fixed.

    Right now, I'd strongly recommend camping in the upper part of the "A", "B" or "C" loops.  The lower parts of "A" and "B" are pretty exposed with just dune grass/bushes for protection.  The bathrooms in those loops are also in the best shape.  The "D" loop needs a lot of work.  The bathroom is very mildewed and just bearable.

    Road to Snag Lake - Dispersed

    Nice view, bumpy drive!

    This spot was great for a night! Super quiet. There was some trash around the site and the road, so I picked up as much as I could. The view was misted over but beautiful anyway- however, in my little Nissan Versa, I struggled on the roads up and down. I eventually kept it around 5-10mph to avoid damaging my car, but I got there just fine and had no issues at the campsite. I've got T-Mobile and had full bars.

    Astoria-Warrenton-Seaside KOA

    So many activities

    This was our last stop on vacation. We couldn't get into Fort Stevens SP right across the street because it was full so we thought we'd give the KOA a try. We normally avoid KOAs, but this one was NICE! We had a premium gravel back-in site. The premium means full hook-ups, fire pit with some bench seating, picnic table, and a propane grill. Our row happened to back up to some trees and tent sites that were in a kind of gully below us. The first night, we had neighbors on either side of us, the second night nobody showed up. We were thankful for that as these sites are pretty close together. This is by far, the largest campground I've ever stayed at. There was a whole fun zone that had mini golf and a bouncy mat thing, outdoor pool and other things that we didn't even see because it was in another part of the campground. Our main purpose on this vacation was to visit Fort Stevens State Park and go into Astoria for lunch. I did manage to get in a quick swim in the indoor pool (you read that right--there are 2 pools). For such an active campground, I was pleasantly surprised at how everyone settled down by the start of quiet hours at 10pm, at least in our part of the campground. I wish we could have stayed longer to take advantage of some of the amenities, but it just wasn't in the cards this time.

    Edit to add...we never managed to connect to the wifi.

    Clatskanie Holistic Farm Hipcamp

    Amazing! Outstanding! Beautiful Hillside former equestrian farm where you can buy organic cage-free eggs laid the day before along with milk taken straight from the cow that morning! If you enjoy watching sheep eat and playing with a goat and watching Ducks wander around and lots of stuff to look at and hiking and learning about farming and animal husbandry, this place is for you!

    Fishermans Cove RV Park

    Wrong RV location review above me

    This is not Curlew Lake in Eastern Wa. This is Ilwaco near the Columbia River in the SW corner of Wa. We came to this campground by the lovely pictures of a large lake, nice camping sites etc. The Pro's: easy check-in Walking distance to the town and Marina. Close to Cape Disappointment State Park There is a laundromat. Cons: this is a fisherman's park. The sites are close together. No picnic tables at our sites. $59 is too expensive. Bad advise from the previous reviewer!!!

    Wright's for Camping

    Sweet & close to town

    We loved our stay here; it's great for families. The bathroom and showers were clean, and we appreciated the large sink for dishwashing. Wright's is quite close to town, so we were easily able to walk to the beach and main part of town. Site 10 is decently sized, and fit our 20' campervan + bike rack easily.

    Tillamook County Whalen Island

    Great when all the state parks are full(all summer)

    A great small site to visit when you can’t get in at Cape Lookout. Campground is small which is nice since there isn’t much separation between tent sites. The location is great for paddling around Sand Lake though you’ll have to go a bit to access the ocean. Tillamook county knows what they’ve got and they will charge for each vehicle and each tent on the ground.

    Barview Jetty County Campground

    Beautiful Location and Great Campsites HIGHLY RECOMMEND

    I was amazed by how beautiful the site was that I had to stay an extra night. The staff at the reservation office was super kind and accommodating to my request, helped me find a site that was available for the full length of my stay, and gave me some options to look at before deciding on a site. I chose a site in the V section and was left speechless; it was stunning! I'm not much of a camper, but this had to have been one of the most beautiful sites I've stayed at in my life. 50m walk to the beach, lots of trees for privacy, and a big lot for the campsite. Showers were $0.25/min, and were a min of $0.50 to start, they were relatively clean and private.

    I also surfed at Barview Jetty Beach, where there were some great waves for beginners! Although I'm not sure if you're allowed to surf there since I was the only I saw surfing, but I didn't see any signs saying you couldn't.

    Fort Stevens State Park Campground

    So many mosquitos

    Ferocious number of mosquitos that were persistent despite repellant. It’s bizarre they chose to put the campsites near the “lake” and swampy areas versus closer to beach access away from those areas.

    Camp sites were also a little too packed tight versus other nearby state parks like Nehalem Bay.

    Web County campground is gr8

    I've stayed here multiple times over the years and really enjoy the facility. The proximity to the beach and skatepark couldn't be better. You can hear the ocean plainly from camp. The showers work perfectly! The rabbit population seems to be down from previous years, which isn't a terrible thing. The hosts are gr8! I'll be back soon 😁

    Thousand Trails Long Beach

    Nice campground with beach access

    The location is perfect, with an easy walk to the beach, making it ideal for those who love the ocean.

    The campground offers a variety of amenities, including a pool and hot tub, which are perfect for relaxing after a day of activities. For pet owners, there's a convenient dog park where dogs can run and play.

    The RV sites nice, but not very spacious. It is super nice that full hook-ups are standard. Tent sites are also available and offer a comfortable camping experience.
