Best Campgrounds near Neotsu, OR

Campgrounds near Neotsu, Oregon range from developed state parks to private RV resorts along the central Oregon coast. Devils Lake State Recreation Area and Lincoln City KOA provide accommodations for tent campers, RV travelers, and those seeking cabins or yurts. Most campgrounds in the region sit within 10 miles of Lincoln City, offering convenient access to beach activities and coastal amenities. Beverly Beach State Park and South Beach State Park extend camping options further south toward Newport, while Cape Lookout State Park provides camping approximately 25 miles north of Neotsu.

Many campgrounds in the area remain open year-round, though coastal weather patterns influence camping conditions throughout the seasons. "Anywhere near the beach in Lincoln City is a good choice," notes one camper, highlighting the prime coastal location. Winter brings frequent rain and wind, requiring proper shelter and weather preparation. Summer typically offers milder temperatures but can still present foggy mornings and occasional precipitation. Most established campgrounds provide full hookups for RVs, including electric, water, and sewer connections. Reservations are highly recommended during summer months and holiday weekends when occupancy rates peak. Cell service is generally reliable throughout the area, with stronger signals in Lincoln City proper compared to more remote campgrounds.

The camping experience near Neotsu balances natural surroundings with proximity to urban amenities. Several visitors commented on the convenience of nearby beaches, with one explaining that "it's a short drive to the beaches" from area campgrounds. The region's mix of private and state-operated facilities creates varied camping environments. State parks typically offer more natural settings with beach access, while private RV parks and resorts provide additional amenities like camp stores, Wi-Fi, and organized activities. Proximity to Chinook Winds Casino Resort represents another draw for some campers, with Logan Road RV Park specifically catering to casino visitors. Most campgrounds maintain clean facilities and friendly staff, though site sizes and privacy levels vary significantly between properties.

    Dispersed Camping Near Pioneer-Indian Trail in Siuslaw National Forest

    Great Find

    We have been traveling/disburse camping through Montana, Washington, and now Oregon and this has been our 2nd favorite spot.

    The drive in wasn’t as bad as we were anticipating. The road was paved and a two lane; narrow lanes but my Ram 3500 and teardrop handled it fine. We did follow previous reviews and once spotted the logging road turned in despite previous review suggesting walking down first. It worked for us because the spot was empty but would second that recommendation; had the spot been taken turn around would not have happened. The logging road is gravel, narrow, and a little steep but not bad at all. The spot is worth what it takes to get to it.

    The space, seclusion, sky made it our second favorite site; the first had a creek and wild life. Not recommended for strictly RWD vehicles, if you are towing 45 feet in length, or wet/snowy conditions.

    This spot is saved for next time we are in the area.

    Barview Jetty County Campground

    Decent

    Overall, the campground was nice. Free showers. There’s a nice playground for the kiddos. I stayed in the V loop and was the only camper there for the 3 nights I was there. The sites are close to each other… so if you want privacy, I would recommend going elsewhere. I could see it getting really packed and noisy during the weekends.

    Port of Tillamook Bay RV Park

    City Park great for an overnight

    This is a great city run RV park that is next to a small municipal airport and a World War II era blimp museum. Some sites have shade, but mostly open field. I camped here 8/22/25. There were about 20 other campers but there was plenty of space for more. $20 a night.

    Good stop, showers and bathrooms are clean, A LOT of people live here.... Manager is new and does not really know what's going on, I was told there is a lot of police activity there... Saw a few homeless people and cars with tow tags on em. Otherwise it's clean and safe

    Phoenix RV Park

    Nope

    We stayed here for 11 months. We had a problem with our fridge overheating and the compressor being noisy when the afternoon sun hit the front side. We built an insulated box to solve the problem. Painted it. It wasn't an eyesore. We didn't have more than 5 personal items in our lot. Manager made us take it down. Said there would be a spot in September that she could move us to. Was unwilling to switch around someone who wasn't coming in for 2 months. When September hit, nothing happened. She never did move us. But she did move her RV to the prime spot, facing the way that we needed, up front when it came open. Lots of spots with so much junk under their RVs. We had a whitewater raft under ours and were told that we couldn't have it under there. Instead of paying a ridiculous price for a storage unit, we sold it. We already had one in the RV. Head management was coming through in a couple of weeks and she had to make the place look like she actually enforced the rules? Their sprinkler system quit working. The maintenance person put the sprinkler on the grass on the side of us. My window was wide open. Soaked my couch, left a water stain all across the blinds(RV was 9 months old) and the water stained a handmade quilt on the back of my couch. When I called the office the manager told me to stop yelling at her. I guess a loud voice was yelling? The guy said he didn't see that my window was open, yet I saw it was as I drove up. The manager also charged my debit card for our last couple of days/electricity without my permission. When I called to confront her about it, she hung up on me. I had to call my bank to get my card cancelled but the charge went through. Even though she sent me an email saying I was refunded. I am now trying to deal with the head office about her. Rent also going up to$830 a month. For a parking spot and water. No internet. Lots of sirens. Heard gunfire a lot. Not a great part of town. Lots of homeless people, garbage because it's near the can redemption center.

    Paved level sites

    Good access for rigs up to 40’ it seems. Sites are all paved and pull-in or back in. Fires in fire pits only. Not expensive and a nice beach walking distance from all sites.


Guide to Neotsu

Campsites near Neotsu, Oregon offer varied terrain throughout the region's three distinct ecological zones: coastal beaches, forested hills, and lakefront settings. Camping opportunities range from primitive tent spots to full-service RV sites with winterized hookups. Visitors find a significant temperature gradient between coastal and inland campgrounds, with those near Devils Lake experiencing fewer fog days than oceanfront locations.

What to do

Beach fossil hunting: 5 miles south of Neotsu at Beverly Beach State Park. The beach contains abundant marine fossils visible in cliff faces and scattered along the shoreline. "Literally everywhere on this beach. Nearly every rock and cliff face is littered with marine fossils of varying types and sizes and you can often find individual fossilized shells that can be collected," explains Erik C. from Beverly Beach State Park Campground.

Kayaking: Access Devils Lake directly from camp. Launch points available for non-motorized watercraft at several locations around the lake. "No lake views here, but there is access down a long point/dock for non motorized(kayaks) boats," notes Annie C. about Devil's Lake State Recreation Area Campground.

Winter storm watching: Best December through February. Oceanfront campgrounds provide prime viewing during stormy weather. "Cabins are safe and stormproof for great storm watching in winter/spring months. Steps from tidal pools means great beach combing in dry weather!" writes Vicki T. at Cape Lookout State Park Campground.

Agate hunting: Most productive after winter storms. Beverly Beach and Cape Lookout offer good hunting grounds for semiprecious stones. "Beverly Beach is also popular for agate hunting along the gravel bars, particularly after big storms that uncover new stones," mentions Erik C.

What campers like

Indoor amenities during rainy weather: Several campgrounds offer indoor facilities for wet days. "They have a large jacuzzi and an indoor pool! They are doing some maintenance this year but thankfully it hasn't been a bother for us," says Paige M. about Thousand Trails Pacific City.

Wildlife viewing: Campgrounds feature diverse animal sightings. "In the morning, (I got up at 5am) I scared up a marten by the large oak tree in my campsite, and it was such a pleasure to see this shy fellow up close!" notes Shawn M. about Lincoln City KOA. At Pacific City, "Bunnies are great to watch," according to Neil B.

Tent-only sections: Available at select parks for quieter camping experience. "If you can get a tent site in the tent only area (towards the back with lots of trees) or a hookup site along the back, it's not too bad. And you can hear the ocean," recommends Annie C. about Devils Lake State Recreation Area.

Wooded campsites: Many spots offer forest cover rather than open fields. "Campsites are nestled between large trees, which gives them some privacy. Short walk to the beach and nature trails," writes Kristen W. about Cape Lookout State Park Campground.

What you should know

Site flooding occurs seasonally: Certain campgrounds experience standing water in fall and winter. "I've been here in the fall when more than half the campsites were flooded or filled with standing water," warns Blake F. about Devils Lake State Recreation Area. Another camper notes, "It can flood in the fall and spring months, their rainy seasons."

Fog horn noise at certain locations: Sound carries from navigation aids at coastal jetties. "The Yurt was great, but be prepared for the fog horns going off all night on the jetty," cautions Kevin R. about South Beach State Park Campground.

Mosquito concerns at inland sites: Bug activity increases away from direct ocean exposure. "Mosquitos were bad this year so bring bug spray," advises Brian C. about South Beach State Park. Multiple reviews across campgrounds mention mosquito populations, particularly at sites protected from coastal winds.

Cell service variability: Coverage changes dramatically between locations. "No cell service, so be prepared," warns Dana O. about Pacific City camping. Other reviewers note that service improves closer to Lincoln City proper.

Tips for camping with families

Educational programs: Several parks offer structured activities. "Nice educational programs for kids," mentions Kristen W. about Cape Lookout State Park. South Beach State Park provides "plenty of games to keep anyone entertained."

Beach accessibility considerations: Distance and terrain vary significantly. At Premier RV Resort, "a well planned short walk through an underground tunnel at the Inn at Spanish head get you to and from safely," notes Angela S. This contrasts with other locations requiring longer hikes or steep descents.

Playground access: Available at select campgrounds for younger children. "Much smaller than South Beach State Park a few miles south, but in my opinion a more relaxed campground," notes Erik C. about Beverly Beach, which features playground equipment.

Off-season weekday visits: Significantly reduced crowds improve experience. "We stayed in an ADA site during the week in mid July. It was nice flat ground and easy access to the beach through the campground," shares Tiffany E. about Beverly Beach State Park.

Tips from RVers

Leveling challenges: Many sites require significant adjustment. "Our paved spot was not level," reports Steven V. at Logan Road RV Park. Similar comments appear across multiple campgrounds in the region.

Alternative to paid camping: Casino property offers free dry camping with conditions. "You can also stay over in the casino parking lot designated for RVs without hook ups. If staying at casino lot, you need to register for a players card, play and redeem points for RV stay," explains Christy S. about Chinook Winds Casino near Logan Road RV Park.

Sewer connection location: Variable distances between RVs and hookups. One camper notes that at Sea and Sand RV Park, sites "required a screw on sewer connection that in some sites were 25 plus feet from the rear of the site."

Site size limitations: Length and width restrictions vary widely. "The sites are extremely close together, although the people that camped around us were all friendly, respectful of the spatial issues and quiet," mentions Angela S. about Premier RV Resort.
