"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."
"Also there are many hiking paths, the beach and near by towns to explore like Astoria, OR."
"After a full day or visiting the Northwest coast of Oregon all day. We needed to find a place to stay around Nehalem."
"I arrived around 6pm and only a few of their 10 tent sites were occupied. I grabbed spot 4 on the end so I had neighbors across and next to me but only on one side."
"Most of the campsites are on the north end of the marina on a grassy area with trees where you can drive up to the site."
"Spot had access to a small creek (not the main cook creek) and a tire swing. Lots of flat space to park and set up tents."
"It is very private and there is a short walk (2-3min) down to your very own private part of the river."
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.
RangerMy mistake, these coordinates took us to the top of the mountain. It is currently an active logging area, so the truckers are out at 3am. The road up was a very narrow road. So careful if there’s other cars coming through, especially the logging semis.
Nonetheless a cool spot. Dry camping. Please clean up after yourselves.
ScoutExpensive ($80-90/night) but great facilities in a good location. Great showers, internet, hookups, pool and campsites. Relatively quiet… not a KOA.
TravelerThere are several spots off the road around these radio tower stations and it is quite secluded. We didn't see any other person the whole time we were there. The spot we chose was the best as it is away from the towers and buildings, plus has a great view overlooking the valley and bay, and you can see the ocean between the peaks in the distance. The road getting here is a bit rough with lots of washboard, steep grades and rocks. But it's fun. No amenities, obviously, but there is a concrete pad from an old structure you can park on. Other sites have solid pack gravel covered by grass.
ScoutGreat place!! Extremely clean! Friendly staff!! Just a little tight for my liking!! Would go back in the winter months!
ScoutFirst day campgrounds were open, weather was semi rainy, stayed three nights at site A4. A huge site, could have set up multiple tents. Cost to camp, $20.00 per night. 2nd vehicle free. I was pretty much alone for the whole time. ,
TravelerI setup camp at one of the spots here 3 nights in a row & had no visitors the entire time! Very quiet & can hear some noise in the distance from time to time, but was pleasantly surprised by the peace & quiet I got up here. I had my 3 dogs with me & only one night did they make a fuss about something outside the tent, but I assumed it was due to the pack of coyotes howling in the distance (not close!). They were just extra on edge. A little bit of trash in various different spots on this mountain which is a bummer, but I tried to clean up the spot i was in to the best of my ability for the next camper!
GuideLovely clean park with all the amenities. Nice short walk into town where there were plenty of nice restaurants. Was surprised when we got here to see it so busy as everywhere else we'd been were quite empty. The owner is lovely and friendly and really helpful about the area. Very nice clean manicured park.
