Both parks feature comfortable yurts equipped with electricity, heating, and furnished interiors that provide a luxurious alternative to traditional camping. The yurts at Cape Lookout are nestled among lush coastal forest with easy beach access, while Nehalem Bay's yurts offer views of the bay and ocean. Netarts Bay RV Park & Marina and Thousand Trails Pacific City round out the area's glamping options with additional yurt rentals and deluxe canvas accommodations. Each location provides amenities like comfortable beds, electricity, and outdoor fire pits for an elevated outdoor experience. One guest shared, "Really liked that each yurt had its own deck, picnic table, and fire pit. The shrubbery around the campgrounds was really cool and offered extra privacy."

The Oregon coast's natural beauty surrounds these glamping destinations, with activities ranging from beachcombing to hiking scenic coastal trails. Cape Lookout offers a 2.5-mile trail to the cape's summit with panoramic ocean views, while Netarts Bay provides excellent clamming, crabbing, and kayaking opportunities. Wildlife viewing is exceptional throughout the area, with guests frequently spotting deer, eagles, and even wild rabbits near their accommodations. According to a camper, "We stayed in a cabin here. The trees/forest were beautiful, and so was the ocean, which is a short walk away. You can sit on the front porch and watch the sunset through the trees while listening to crashing waves." Most glamping sites in the area remain open year-round, though advance reservations are strongly recommended during summer months when coastal temperatures provide a refreshing escape from inland heat.

    Cape Kiwanda RV Resort and Marketplace

    Cute cabin!

    We headed to the Pacific City in search of fresh air in mid September when much of Oregon was consumed by wildfire smoke. The friendly staff at Cape Kiwanda RV Resort were very welcoming and we opted to stay in one of their cute cabins as rain was forecasted. Cabin N was comfortable and had electric heat, a TV, dorm fridge, microwave, porch swing, outdoor water, BBQ grill, picnic table and outdoor firepit.  The campground had cute wild bunnies hoping around, and amenities such as a playground, full market, and pool.  It's located a quick walk from a beautiful sandy beach, brew pub, coffee shop and other convenient options are nearby.

    Dairy Creek West — L.L. Stub Stewart Memorial State Park

    Bike and Camp...or drive up and walk up

    We LOVE this campground. Quick drive from SE Portland (or bike out all the way on a lovely trail if you are so inclined). We drove up to meet up with friends who biked in so we could camp a few nights. The sites are well situated so that there is enough distance that we could not see our neighbors. The communal fire pit was convenient and wood was provided. The campsite had gravel so we were glad we brought our moving blanket to place under our tent tarp. The trails were extensive and we could hear the brooke!

    Nehalem Bay State Park Campground

    Peaceful Slice of Heaven on the Pacific Coast

    Really cool atmosphere just steps away from the beach. The sounds of the waves can be heard right from your site. Nice facilities. Yurt is highly recommended and sleeps 5. Really liked that each yurt had its own deck, picnic table, and fire pit. The shrubbery around the campgrounds was really cool and offered extra privacy. They also had equestrian sites as well as tent and electric RV. Cannot wait to go back my only regret was that we couldn't stay longer!

    Sandbeach

    Not great for a quiet nature getaway

    Camped on the night of July 3rd. Campsite 58, one of the furthest away from the dunes but you couldn’t escape the noise - ATV riders/generators did not adhere to quiet hours (10pm-7am), the engines quieted down around 1am but then started back up around 5:30am. Great if you like the dune buggy lifestyle but not if you are looking for a serene/private excursion. The hiker/biker camps offer more visual privacy but you can still hear the off road vehicles on the dunes.

    Beverly Beach State Park Campground

    Great stop for 1 night

    The campground has some nice amenities - a short walk from your campsite to trash, recycling, water, bathrooms, and the beach. There are on site staff ready to answer your questions. They also have a doggy bag spot where you can dispose of dog waste and pick up a new bag if needed. There’s a short trail that follows the creek. Overall it’s a good campsite but lacks any privacy or seclusion from other campers.

    Thousand Trails Pacific City

    Best camping on the Oregon Coast

    Lots of options here. Tent sites and small cabins that are somewhat private. There are good bathrooms with showers on site, a sand volleyball court, a store, little wild bunnies running around, and great fire pits at each site. What more could you ask for!? The ocean is a 5 minute walk from the site and you can rent sandboards to ride down the dunes of Cape Kiwanda (it's a serious workout!). Not to be missed.

    Thousand Trails Seaside

    Very close to ammenaties

    The campground is split up into two sides. The north side and the south side. The north side has the getaway cabins, and cottages. It also has the pool/hot tub, cafe, group fire pit, kids play ground, and overflow parking. Pickleball/tennis courts. The north side is also the only side that has 50A power. The south side is all 30A. The tent sites are also on the north side. It gives access to all the amenities here. They took out the propane site, cause they didn’t have anyone to take care of it. We come down here to get away from the heat, inland, area. It’s usually 20-30 degrees cooler, than inland. So when the heat hits the valley, everyone runs to the coastline. So it can get crowded. You have to be careful with your kids. People don’t drive the speed limit. It’s 5mph. They drive like they are in the raceway. The Clatsop county beaches, have the best razor clam digging, in Oregon. On every minus tide, in the winter and spring, you have some of the best razor clams, this far south of Alaska. Usually from he first of October, to July 15th, all minus tides will expose the clam beds enough to walk out and get a delicious meal. Plus the Columbia River estuary is just 10 miles away. Which is the place of the world class Buoy #10 Salmon fishery, every August - October. Both Large Chinook Salmon, and the feisty smaller, Coho (silver) salmon. You also have fresh crabbing available in town, and behind the old high school, or drop a few pots while out salmon fishing, for a great fresh seafood meal.

    Lincoln City KOA

    A Jewel of a KOA, Near Lincoln City's Coastal Beaches!

    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. Disclaimer: I stayed during the week, not on a weekend, and the tent site side of the campground was sparsely populated. Here, the RV pull-in sites are separated from the tent and cabin portion of the campground, with an office, the bathrooms and showers, (even laundry!) and a playground in between. The tent sites are surrounded on the outside by dense woods, and because the campground is about 5 miles off the highway, it was blissfully quiet and serene. The flush toilets, running water and hot showers were welcome, as I was traveling, and the bathroom was sparkling clean. It was just a short jaunt into town for a bowl of fresh clam chowder and to sit by the beach and enjoy the sound and smell of the surf. 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! I would stay here again.

    Lincoln City KOA

    Ranger Review: GCI Outdoor Pod Rocker at KOA Lincoln City

    Campground Review:

     This KOA was such a change from the developed and“overly urban” feel of most KOA establishments. It has a few of the KOA norms: cabins, playground, in-campground store, nice showers, and laundry facilities. However other than that it is a very beautiful and lushly forested site, with some of the tent sites backing up to a creek. The RV sites have great level and graveled parking areas, a large grassy area behind each campsite, and picnic table and fire pit. The store had a good supply of basic needs and also a good selection of beer!(which is a necessity on any camping trip:) The maintenance on the sites and grounds was tip top, and during our stay I personally witnessed lawn mowing, bathroom cleaning, and other general maintenance tasks being taken care of on a regular basis. My son enjoyed playing on the equipment and we also enjoyed sitting around the campfire in the evening. This was a really nice KOA off the main drag, but close enough to Lincoln City so as to experience the many tourist attractions and beaches. We even went and drove on the beach! 

    **Product Review: **

    On occasion I receive gear to test out and review from The Dyrt, and on this camping trip I reviewed the GCI Outdoor Pod Rocker, and WOW! It blew my expectations away! I have used many different types of folding chair in my life, and so far none can compare to the GCI Pod Rocker! 

    This chair is so compact that it folds up into its own shoulder bag just like any other folding chair, but it has the added perk of being constructed of powdered coated steel making it very durable. It has two springs attached to the rear main structure which allows someone to rock back and forth. It is a sling-style chair, but the great thing about the way it is designed is that it has subtle arm rests sewn into the fabric that actually work very well. The rocking is described on the website as being able to“Rock on any surface”, and they aren't kidding! I used this chair on sand, grass, slopes, and even in a river-rock-covered river bed, 3 inches submerged in the water! This thing is very well made, and takes my 200 Lbs easily and keeps on rocking! It includes nice breathable mesh at certain points and dries really fast if wet also. The only downside is that a smaller person may have a hard time getting the chair to rock with only their weight alone. It seems designed for larger people which is great for me, but may be a deterrent for smaller folk. This chair so far has withstood heavy use over a 3 week road trip, and I don’t doubt that it will continue to perform. 

    On a small tangent, when sitting in the river, I had my phone dangling in the accessory pocket playing music. When I was swimming, the wind suddenly gusted and flung the chair forward, splashing down hard in the water! I don’t know if the holder was designed to do this, but as the chair fell, it used the water to flip up and keep my phone high and dry, saving my phone from a watery grave! I doubt they advertise this as a perk, but I was more than thrilled. Buy this chair if you want comfort, durability, and style.


Guide to Netarts

Netarts Bay sits on the northern Oregon coast approximately 80 miles west of Portland, with most campgrounds positioned within 10 miles of the shoreline. The region receives about 90 inches of annual rainfall, with drier summer months typically offering temperatures between 60-75°F. Several campgrounds operate year-round, though winter camping requires preparation for frequent storms and temperatures that rarely drop below freezing.

What to do

Beach activities beyond surfing: Cape Lookout State Park Campground offers quick beach access for activities not mentioned in the promotional materials. "It was such a short walk to the beach and you could hear the waves when you're going to sleep! Look up the tides tho, since there's such a short beach to the water, during high tide the beach disappears," notes Trina C. about Cape Lookout State Park Campground.

Local fishing opportunities: Crabbing and fishing remain popular near several camping areas. "Nehalem Bay is beautiful, and it's just down the road from two jetties. My family and I went crabbing just a ways away from the state park, and it was a beautiful day and a lot of fun," explains Aaron R. from his stay at Nehalem Bay State Park Campground.

Unique historical experiences: Twins Ranch offers unusual accommodation options for history enthusiasts. "If you have a kid who loves history, the Oregon Trail, Little House on the Prairie, and dressing in character, this is your spot! My kids went on walks and collected berries, leaves, buds and lots of memories," reports Heather about her glamping experience at Twins Ranch.

What campers like

Quiet atmosphere: Many campers appreciate the less crowded camping options near Netarts. "We've been visiting Cape Lookout for years with my family. This is by far the best campsite we've found on the coast. We usually don't visit during the summer and even when a portion of the site is closed (sand accumulates on 'A' loop) we haven't felt like it was over packed," explains Nathan R.

Wildlife viewing: The campgrounds feature more than just coastal views. "The campground has a long (40+ years) history of hosting a big hutch of rabbits roaming freely (more than 25 that I could see easily any time)," notes Patrick C. about his stay at Webb County Campground & Park.

Accessibility to amenities: Campers value the balance of nature with nearby conveniences. "You are located close to town and good grocery/coffee shops/bakeries. And the beach access is super close," shares Kristi R. about the glamping options at Nehalem Bay.

What you should know

Site privacy varies significantly: Campsite spacing differs between campgrounds. "We love how much privacy is usually found between sites. For the most part, trees and bushes are substantial enough to make your site feel like you have your own sanctuary," states Nathan R. about Cape Lookout State Park.

Seasonal considerations: Camping conditions change dramatically between seasons. "Right now in February it is very quiet," notes a camper named Smittie, contrasting with the observation that "I would imagine that this park is crowded all summer."

Limited connectivity: Cell service and WiFi are inconsistent throughout the region. "Tmobile was nonexistent in the area and Wifi from the park was abysmal," reports Nathan K. about his stay at Pleasant Valley RV Park.

Tips for camping with families

Playground availability: Families should consider campgrounds with dedicated play areas. "The campground has a playground, close to stores and heritage/tourist sites. My parents used to bring me here often, and now I bring mine!" shares Leslie C. about Cape Lookout State Park.

Educational opportunities: Some glamping near Netarts offers unique learning experiences. "If you have a kid who loves history, the Oregon Trail, Little House on the Prairie, and dressing in character, this is your spot!" recommends Heather from Twins Ranch LLC.

Cycling access: Several campgrounds provide safe spaces for children to ride. "Good paved loop for kids to ride bikes," mentions C.M. about the setup at Nehalem Bay State Park Campground.

Tips from RVers

Site selection strategies: RVers recommend specific loops or sections at certain campgrounds. "We prefer loop C. There is a man made burm that keeps some wind from coming into the campground," advises Dean about Cape Lookout State Park.

Hook-up limitations: Not all sites offer full service connections. "Spots 1-27 are the tightest I have ever seen, so try to avoid them. 52-58 are right on the Bay, and pretty sizable," recommends Josh H. about his experience at Netarts Bay RV Park & Marina.

Shower facilities: Quality of shower facilities varies between campgrounds. "Free, very private showers! Soap in the bathrooms! Super nice and clean!" reports Kayla S. about Cape Lookout facilities.
