Neskowin Creek RV Resort welcomes pets in its cabins and camping areas, allowing campers to enjoy the Oregon coast with their four-legged companions. The resort features full hookup sites for RVs, tent camping areas, and pet-friendly cabins within walking distance to the beach. The wild bunnies roaming throughout the property create a unique wildlife experience, though pet owners should keep dogs leashed to avoid chasing wildlife. Pets must be supervised at all times, and campers should bring supplies for cleaning up after their animals. Cape Kiwanda RV Resort and Marketplace offers similar pet accommodations with the added convenience of being directly across from the beach where dogs can play in the sand.
Trails near Neskowin provide excellent exercise opportunities for dogs, with nearby state parks offering varied terrain for walking pets. Neskowin Beach itself allows leashed dogs, providing a perfect spot for pets to explore the shoreline. The local market in Neskowin stocks basic pet supplies for campers who forget essentials. During summer months, early morning or evening walks help prevent pet paws from burning on hot sand. Wildlife encounters are common in the area, so keeping dogs secured prevents unwanted interactions with local fauna. Some campers report the wild bunnies at Neskowin Creek can be problematic for hunting dogs, requiring extra vigilance from pet owners with dogs that have strong prey drives.

ScoutMy absolute favorite place to camp in Oregon!!!! Always clean, quite, peaceful, and just perfect!!!! The fishing is always great and when the onshore flow comes over the trees, it's nothing short of a miracle and magic.
GuideWe liked the location and the access to the beaches, however it was very crowded. We have dogs, but walking them was a bit difficult. There were so many pets and people it was hard to enjoy our walks.
Legend[ PROS ]
We came during offseason (November) and camped at this State Park for 3 nights. Man, it was so amazing. It was super quiet and empty so we felt like we had the entire park to ourselves.
A family of deer visited us every single morning/night during our stay. We definitely didn't try to interact with them, but they were comfortable to roam right around our site which was a really magical experience
Nehalem Bay is such a beautiful area and the State Park is nestled in lots of beautiful, lush greenery. There are lots of birds, plants, and other wildlife to observe. We loved hearing coyotes yapping in evenings from the campground.
It's very peaceful and serene here. It's right by the beach and an easy walk to the coast. We also got to visit Manzanita for a little day trip and had lunch out there. Such a cute little coastal town worth checking out.
Free hot showers and really nice restrooms. I'm starting to realize that Oregon State Parks are SOOO much superior to California State Parks. The amenities at all the Oregon campgrounds I've visited are wonderful. We definitely got spoiled by camping in Oregon that it will be hard going back home to California
Very close to stores, restaurants, and gas stations if you need to pick up supplies.
[ CONS ]
GuideThe park was clean and it had a nice dog park for our dog to run in. There were rabbits all over the park which was fun to watch.
The showers and laundry were clean as well. Tmobile was nonexistent in the area and Wifi from the park was abysmal. There are a lot of full time residences here but they were all very friendly.
GuideAbsolutely loved this place! I definitely suggest making a reservation our rv Neighboors let us know that they have to book a year in advance. We are traveling through Oregon just camping with two adult 2children and our dog. They were pet friendly and all of the staff were extremely nice! There are multiple spots right on the river which we were lucky enough to snag even though it was last minute.
TravelerI fell in love with Nehalem Bay State Park. We stayed in a pet friendly yurt and in laws were at a RV spot. The beach was just a short walk over the sand dunes. The walk to Manzanita was a nice and very dog friendly. We also walked around the spit. I highly recommend making the short drive to Kelly’s Marina for fresh crab.
TravelerNice rv park. Good pet area (near spots facing office) and off leash area. Bathrooms were clean, but sinks do not have hot water. Safeway, coffee and food in walking distance. A little hike to beach access behind casino. Casino does have dry camping spots for free. My paved spot was not level.
RangerEnded up staying here (Light site) for 3 nights after my group had to make a last second pivot with smoke in Central Oregon. We were super happy with the location and privacy of the site (quick 15 minute drives to Pacific City/Lincoln City or 5 minute drive to Neskowin).
We ran into a bit of confusion booking through the Dyrt as it wasn’t clear what the difference was between Light site and Sublime site (Hipcamp clearly shows the difference btw). The difference is that Sublime is a pretty open plot of land with plenty of room to run and explore whereas Light site is a narrow 15x80’ strip of land on the side of a hill. It sounds lame, but it actually worked out well. A lot of the exploring areas on the property described on the Dyrt seem only to apply to Sublime site. Also, The Dyrt makes it seem as if pets are allowed on the whole property, but apparently they are only allowed on Sublime. So if your booking through Dyrt, check out the Hipcamp description of sites to make sure you are getting what you want.
My biggest quibble is that while this ended up being a great site, we probably will only come back here in a pinch because the price is nearly 4x what you would end up paying at a public campground and there is no water, trash, or bathroom services included in this price. We had a large group and there is a surcharge of $5/person/night (including kids) over the base (2adults/2kids)…so we ended up paying $270 for 3 nights. In comparison, the campsite in Central Oregon that we cancelled due to smoke was $60 for all three nights.
In summary. This is a great spot, but the price is bloated for what you get (especially for larger groups).
LegendThis was our second time here, and we enjoyed the first so much we decided to spend a month over Christmas to watch storms and hopefully see the whale migration. As Seal Rocks RV Cove is right off US-101, you take the second left at the sign if you are coming from the south. Per our instruction email, we headed straight to back-in site 18 with FHUs. Since we were going to be here a month, we fiddled more than normal to position our 40’ 5th wheel into position. Otherwise, this is a fairly easy back-in. Most of the positioning was to get more center on the gravel pad because there are tall hedges on both sides. This is a nice privacy feature in most sites. The water pressure was around 60 psi, so we used a reducer. Water and electric are more centered on the site. Site 18 has a great view of Seal Rock and the ocean. Another great feature of these sites is that the utilities are on both sides for back-ins like us, and Class As and Bs can pull in forward. We needed about 15’ of sewer hose with the back-in connection. The $45 nightly rate was based on an off-season monthly rate, and we did not have to pay extra for electricity. We had one bar on Verizon, which was usable for phone calls. We got a clear shot of the NW sky for Starlink. There wouldn’t be a problem for a southern shot as well. There’s a fire pit and picnic table at the back of the site. There’s a small fenced dog park and a beach trail path that leads out of the RV park to Hwy 101 to get to the beach trail. The park WiFi was pretty good, but there were not many campers here this time of year. The park managers are friendly and accommodating, and they enforce their rules. Two in particular were dogs on six-foot leashes and no LED lights at night. We were lax with our dogs because the park was empty, but they quickly reminded us of the rule. As you are right off US-101, there is road noise, but it quiets down at night. Seal Rocks RV Cove doesn’t have a laundry, but there’s one nearby in Waldport and two in Newport. There is so much to do and see in this area. We spent a month and still didn’t get everything done we wanted to do."
Pet-friendly camping options exist at several locations near Neskowin, Oregon, where the Cascade Head Scenic Research Area borders the coastline. The area combines protected forest lands with beach access, creating diverse camping environments within a 20-mile radius. Winter temperatures average 45°F while summer averages 65°F, though coastal winds can make evenings feel cooler year-round.
Beach exploration: Access miles of coastline at Cape Lookout State Park where trails lead directly to tide pools and driftwood-strewn beaches. "Super friendly beach camping sites on the Oregon Coast- cabins are safe and stormproof for great storm watching in winter/spring months. Steps from tidal pools means great beach combing in dry weather!" notes Vicki T.
Dory boat watching: Visit Webb County Campground & Park to observe local fishing boats launched directly from the beach. "Dory boats galore! Store, pizza, beach, restaurant and bar all within walking distance!" says Connor J. The traditional dory fishing fleet provides a unique coastal spectacle, particularly during morning launches and afternoon returns.
Hiking trails: Explore routes near Beverly Beach State Park that feature both forest and beach terrain. "Walk to a great beach. Walk in the forest. Reasonable rates. Firewood just great," explains Cameron L. Marine fossil hunting along the beach provides an additional activity, with specimens visible in many cliff faces and rock formations.
Wildlife encounters: The Pacific City RV Resort offers unexpected animal interactions beyond dog walking. "Bunnies are great to watch. Close to drive on beach which is nice when you have kids," says Neil B. The wild rabbits throughout the campground create spontaneous wildlife viewing opportunities.
Hot showers: Multiple campgrounds feature clean bathroom facilities. "Free, very private showers! Soap in the bathrooms! Super nice and clean!" raves Kayla S. about Cape Lookout State Park. Reliable hot water makes off-season camping more comfortable when temperatures drop along the coast.
Beach proximity: Most campers value short walking distances to shorelines. "This campground reminded me of a fairy tale. Once you drive inside it is very plush and green. Perfect little getaway to the Oregon coast. Campground was clean and well kept. Was not very many people around during this time so it made it nice and peaceful. Just a quick walk to the beach from the camp site," reports Leigh-Anne H. about Beverly Beach State Park.
Site spacing: Campground layouts vary widely in the Neskowin area. "Although the sites are very close together, we didn't mind! The campground was full for July 4 weekend, yet not too loud and facilities weren't crowded," explains Kayla S. about Cape Lookout State Park. Private campgrounds typically feature more compact arrangements than state parks.
Seasonal flooding: Winter camping requires advance planning. "If you plan on booking a trip in the late Fall/winter, be sure to call ahead of your trip. I've been here in the fall when more than half the campsites were flooded or filled with standing water," warns Blake F. about Devil's Lake State Recreation Area.
Cell service limitations: Connectivity varies by location. "No cell service, so be prepared," notes Dana O. about Pacific City RV Resort. Downloading offline maps and reservation details before arrival prevents navigation issues.
Indoor swimming options: Rainy day activities include pool access. "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," shares Paige M. about Pacific City RV Resort. These facilities provide entertainment when beach time isn't possible.
Playground access: Several campgrounds offer dedicated play areas. "Playground, close to stores and heritage/tourist sites. My parents used to bring me here often (we were camping here the day Mt St Helens blew), and now I bring mine!" writes Leslie C. about Cape Lookout State Park.
Educational opportunities: Lincoln City KOA provides nature learning experiences. "Let me preface this review by saying I am not, typically, a KOA camper. In my past experience, they have been commercial, crowded, and noisy, but I found this KOA to be an exception... 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!" describes Shawn M. Wildlife sightings create memorable learning moments for children.
Level parking considerations: Many coastal sites present challenges. "Every spot we saw was so un-level that my trailer couldn't compensate enough to have a comfortable stay," reports Josh H. about Pacific City RV Resort. Bringing additional leveling blocks helps address uneven terrain.
Hookup locations: Sewer connections may require extended hoses. "It also had water and cable TV hook up along with a sewer that required a screw on sewer connection that in some sites were 25 plus feet from the rear of the site," explains Robert D. about Sea and Sand RV Park. Longer sewer hoses than standard may be necessary.
Weather protection: Coastal winds affect RV comfort. "This is a great campground during the summer months. The ground is typically dry and you are in close proximity to the beach," notes Blake F. about Devil's Lake. Properly securing awnings and preparing for strong winds improves the camping experience throughout the year.
