Best Tent Camping near Mapleton, OR

We stayed here and really enjoyed the proximity to the beach and the views but checked out early due to tent camping and high winds. The spots are larger than other beach side campgrounds we’ve visited. I would come again but probably RV instead of tent camp.

The second Friday of September this was the only campground along the Oregon coast that had an open spot. The only space available was the handicap site, which is only open to non-handicapped campers after 7pm. As a tent camper this was not an ideal spot. The majority of the sites are designed for RVs and have hook ups. There were plenty of tent campers using these sites, especially the smaller ones further back. There are also hiker-biker sites located sort of in the middle of an RV loop. There are also tent sites that are removed from the tent parking area. When I drove through the tent site parking I couldn't see any of the tent sites.

The campground has flushing toilets and hot showers. If you are camping showers are free and unlimited. The showers are also made available to non-campers for $2. The campground is connected to hiking trails in the area of varying difficulty including a 1/2 mile trail to the beach. The state park is on both sides of the road but the campground is on side away from the beach. The Oregon coast in this area is incredible and the geography changes drastically as you drive between Newport and Florence. Both towns are worth a visit.

Huge facility with a lot of options from basic tent camping to fancy rv.

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.

People in other reviews say the sites aren’t so close they’re on top of each other- idk where they have stayed in other places but these sites are so close together that in my tent site I could make eye contact and hear everything other people were talking about. Even in the yurt- I could hear everyone around me, even hear other sites that were farther away- like full conversations. This campground has way too many sites- and with fees it still ends up being expensive at $27 a night for a tiny tent site. Loud, crowded, don’t stay here if you want peace and quiet. Good for families or groups I guess- as a solo traveler I definitely will not ever come back to this site.

I pulled in before the ranger station closed, and was able to get a tent site for $24. Amenities are super clean, unlimited use showers and perfect spacing in between sites.

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.

Nice, simple spot. Bathrooms clean, tent site comfortable, open to neighbors on one side. Located on east side of 101, walk under a bridge to access beach. State park, so amenities and fees standard. Would recommend

We did a last minute camping trip and most places were full. We mostly tent camp. There was very little grass and only a couple of tents. It was a parking lot with numbers for your site. It was loud and no privacy. Would be a great place to camp if you had sand toys and were there to party.

There's a lot of construction in some loops right now (08/2020), but the park is beautiful. Access to Woahink and Cleawox lakes and a beautiful, mossy forest makes this a great park on its own. Access to the nearby Oregon dunes is restricted in the spring and summer, but direct the rest of the year. Note to pet owners: we spotted a rough-skinned newt working its way through our site - they are poisonous if licked or eaten! Be careful what site you book if tent camping - not all sites are large enough.

A loop - you can hear highway 101. Lots of RV spots. Best tent sites are on the outer (north) sides of the loops. Especially C,D and E loops. Ranger station and junior ranger program. Great family campground.

The tent sites are pretty private for such a large park which was a very pleasant surprise. The beach was extra fun with the river running into the ocean. We are going to make this a yearly stop for sure.

This campground is full of folks! It’s not remote if that is what you are looking for, but the location can’t be beat. They also have yurts and RV spots as well as tent camping. Great bike/walk path and paths to the ocean. Close to the aquarium and lighthouses. Lots to see and great town.

After accidentally reserving the wrong campground, we were pointed in the direction of Horse Creek. Access to it is up an unmarked dirt road, about 10 minutes from 101. It's truly out in the middle of the woods, with campsites meant for campers with horses but it worked perfectly for our tent camping. Pay on site, no campground host. Vault toilets.

I camped here during Memorial day weekend. It was crowded, lots of families with RVs. Bathrooms/showers are very clean and nice. Very dog friendly. Nice trails, beach access. Newport is only few minutes drive away and such a cute small coastal town. If you are tent camping and prefer more privacy and to be away from RV area I suggest "I" loop.

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.

Right across the highway from the beach is the Washburne State Park campground. It’s a short walk to the beach from the day use area of the park. There are two loops for RV’s and those who want electric sites. The seven tent sites are all walk in, set back in the trees and very private from each other as well as set apart from the RV sites. The campground provides a cart for you to haul any gear to your campsite. I had tent site 77, which was mostly level, with a picnic table and fire pit and I had hookup site 11 the next night.  Firewood was available for sale by the campground host near the entrance. I loved how quiet the campground was at all times and that I could hear the ocean at night from both of my sites. The bathhouse was new, clean, and had great water pressure! The only downside was that the nearest bathhouse was a long walk into the RV loop and the small toilet and sink only bathroom in the tent area was locked while I was there. A creek ran through the campground, but was downhill from the tents, so you really don’t know that it is there.

We were a bit suprised when we got there to find the tent site was very small, I mean small. There was no place for you to let the dog do their business and the only real place to walk was a STEEP walk to the lake. Very noisy, and the park people were kind of rude. Showers were gross.

Great spot for a quick stay. There are only a few flat spots for RVs but quite a few decent spots for tent camping next to the pond. The west side of the pond has at least 2 spots that are a good distance away from the others. At the moment, no fires or barbecues allowed but propane stoves and lanterns are fine. Look for Bandits blue squeaky disk! We lost it and never found it.

We love Beveryly Beach.  It's a beautiful campground.  Easy to get to.  Great access to the beach.  There's a trail that goes around the outside of the entire campground that was pretty fun to take our kids on.

We have only stayed in a tent site, but the yurt loop looks great too and I hope to visit again to try them someday.
