    Devil’s Lake State Recreation Area Campground

    Older Park

    We were within the length limit of the pad, however, the approach to the site was really tight. Growth encroached on the approach to the pad, and we found we could not make the turn. I’ve been backing trailers for 20+ years could not fit.

    A compliment to the staff, the agent looked for any cancellation but everything was full. This got them the 3 star instead to 1 star rating.

    It’s an older park built for smaller trailers, ignore the length of the pad. Think can I make a tight turn?

    Dispersed Camping Near Cannon Beach

    Overnight/Couple days

    Its got plenty of places to set up for the night. Its got roads that lead in multiple directions, all ending up at a location or passing by one. Most are off the road in a turn out, but there are some ones that are enclosed at the end of a road. Some roads are blocked due to fallen trees and people made a camp. Its pretty sweet. Stayed three days, did some hiking and its close to the coast so going into town for the day is a option. Roads are narrow. Not recommended for large longer vehicles

    Dispersed Camping Near Cannon Beach

    Sign says they will lock the gate

    Right at the start of the road, sign that says "gate ahead" and you'll be locked in. Not worth the risk. No other easy free campsites in the area. Lame, Oregon.

    Nehalem River Park & Campground

    Great beach access, but prepare yourself for steep dunes - clean campground

    I thought this was a great campground especially for families. There was some noise into the night, to be expected for a campground with so many amenities for kids to enjoy. But I would return because it was so clean and the beach is gorgeous. I wish it was a little more wooded/shrubby between camps, but I didn't feel like I was breathing my neighbor's exhale so that's fine. I saw reviews about the dunes being pretty big to get to the beach and I didn't really believe them until I was heading back into camp at night, yeah that hill is a lot coming back up so beware. I would avoid bringing my grandpa here.

    Sea Ranch Resort

    Very handy for exploring Cannon Beach

    Sites are small, close together, and just barely fit the equipment they are tagged to fit. Bathroom is clean, has hot showers with a single hook and no bench for toiletries. Walk to town is very easy as is the walk to the beach.

    Beverly Beach State Park Campground

    Very beautiful spot, very green and unique ocean view.

    Very nice state park. Most people very friendly. Just like any campground it can be noisy. Make sure you can handle dogs barking.

    Nehalem Bay State Park Campground

    Great Spot

    Plenty of space for two tents on the one spot. Clean bathroom and showers. Close to the beach, beautiful nature. We really enjoyed our stay here. I would love to come back.

    Paradise Cove RV Resort & Marina

    Maybe if?

    The campground had better days. We wanted a 50amp so we went up the hill. Road is terrible. It’s a long timer campground. It’s a “pick your spot” campground. Our site was soggy. But we were going to pick one. There’s an old lodge where a pool shows on the map. It is empty. Just for fun we went down to the lower area and it has some awesome views. But very crowded. I would probably go somewhere else next time.

One visitor noted, "It's quiet at night even when it's crowded and has easy access to the beach."

What you should know:

  • Crowded During Peak Season: Many campgrounds can get busy, especially during holidays. A visitor at Lincoln City KOA noted, "This KOA has potential but doesn't achieve it due to a lack of maintenance and site keeping rule enforcement."
  • Limited Amenities: Some campgrounds, like South Lake, may not have drinking water or electric hookups. A camper mentioned, "It's a nice little place to escape the hustle and bustle of life."
  • Road Conditions: Be prepared for rough roads, especially if you're heading to more remote sites. One camper at South Lake warned, "Do not drive here if you can't drive on the edge of a cliff on gravel roads."
