"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."
"Location of resort is not where app indicates. The site is off North Fork as you come into Nehalem. We stayed two nights in the overflow and it was lovely."
$15 - $20 / night
"Bathrooms were close to sites and decent. The site was pretty quiet. There are ATV trails nearby so lots of dirt bikers in the camp."
"However, we continued up the road which wound its way around a mountain and found a lovely spot away from the busy campground below. So peaceful and relaxing. Dirt bike paths around too."
"Top reasons I love this campground:
- So easy to get to from anywhere in northwestern Oregon; especially the Portland area
- Open year-round
- 18-hole disc golf course
- Great hiking and"
"The upper area encircles a large open are perfect for games and running around. There is a nice disk golf course and a lot of large paths for waking and biking."

"This is a wonderful campground far enough off the beaten path and being listed has a horse camp most likely keeps the crowds down. "
"While primarily a horse-friendly campsite, there are few RV/tent sites, but definitely not friendly for larger RVs."
"One of our favorite Oregon SPs. In the middle of a mountainous forest with lots of hiking, paved path & mtb biking, disc golf, horse trails and more."
"Dairy Creek is clean and well maintained, and has great access to the trails and disc golf around the park. If you're in an RV this is a good set up."

"Hares Canyon Horse Camp is one of three campgrounds in Stub Stewart State Park and unlike other horse camps which often allow the overflow of tenters and rv'ers without horses, this horse camp is equestrian"
"I don’t have a horse but I still stayed here! We were in the area, struggling to find a place to camp. After 7 pm, the campground let us set up camp in an empty equestrian campsite. Unique experience!"

"It also has camping spots for people with horses. It’s located in Timber, OR. Good hiking and the Nehalem River goes thru it. Vaulted toilet and no drinking water."
ScoutIt’s a first come first served area. Limited spots. I think no more than 6. It also has camping spots for people with horses. It’s located in Timber, OR. Good hiking and the Nehalem River goes thru it. Vaulted toilet and no drinking water. It’s not for everyone but we love it.
LegendHares Canyon Horse Camp is one of three campgrounds in Stub Stewart State Park and unlike other horse camps which often allow the overflow of tenters and rv'ers without horses, this horse camp is equestrian only.
The Campground is set up in one loop and offers both single and double sites, ADA facilities, showers, toilets, and trash. Each site has a picnic table, fire pit, and a corral. There is a double corral on the double sites.
You must clean up after your own horse. Manure bin as well as shovels/brooms are provided onsite.
In mid May, the sites were very wide open.

ScoutFerocious 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.
TravelerOne of our favorite Oregon SPs. In the middle of a mountainous forest with lots of hiking, paved path & mtb biking, disc golf, horse trails and more. Well maintained full hookup sites with 50amp, most 63' long. The park has recently renewed trail signage.
LegendWe had the campground to our self midweek. This is a wonderful campground far enough off the beaten path and being listed has a horse camp most likely keeps the crowds down. While this is a horse campground, only 8 of the sites are for horse campers, a small tent/RV camping loop of 3 sites is also available, but the parking pads are small so don't think most RVs will fit in the spots. Each campsite has a picnic table and metal fire ring. Nice flat ground for your tent with plenty of shade from the large trees. Campground has a hand pump for water. Dish wash stations are through out the campground for pouring out you dish water. The horse camp sites all have corrals for the horses. Nice hiking trail starts at the tent camping area, "Big Tree Trail" will take you past some monster sized trees. This will be a campground we return to the next time we visit Oregon
TravelerThis is Nehalem Falls Campground, site T3. It's one of six walk-in tent sites at this campground in the Tillamook National Forest. You park the car about 50 feet away and bring your gear in. The campground also has about ten car camping sites and two group sites (the only ones that can be reserved). The tent sites are very private and right on the Nehalem River which is warm enough to swim in.
TravelerEnjoyed an incredible time hiking and dispersed camping near the Nehalem Falls and Cook Creek. Peaceful and beautiful!!

Top reasons I love this campground:
Product Review: As a Ranger for The Dyrt, occasionally I get to test products. At this campground, I tested Liquid I.V. Hydration Multiplier and the Liquid I.V. Sleep night time drink mix. I really liked both products. They are portable, have natural ingredients, taste good and I found them to be effective! Additionally, Liquid I.V. has an incredible social justice cause donating millions of their products to people around the world who are in need of proper hydration. I love that this is a company AND products I feel good about!
