What to do
Beach exploration: Devil's Lake State Recreation Area offers a location within Lincoln City providing access to both ocean beaches and freshwater recreation. "This is a great campground during the summer months. The ground is typically dry and you are in close proximity to the beach. If you reserve the right campsite, you'll also be just a stones throw from devils lake," notes Blake F.
Fossil hunting: Beverly Beach State Park Campground features unique geological attractions on its beach. Erik C. reports, "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."
Water sports: Coyote Rock RV Resort provides boat rentals and river access. "They have full hook-ups, cable tv and boat rentals. The cell service wasn't great. They also have cabins for rent. It's right on the river and there are cute little otters that like to show off for the guests," states Christie U.
Winter storm watching: Cape Lookout State Park Campground cabins provide shelter during stormy season. Vicki T. notes they are "safe and stormproof for great storm watching in winter/spring months. Steps from tidal pools means great beach combing in dry weather!"
