"Yes, you can walk to the beach. A "nature trail" leads down to Alsea Bay. We had the beach to ourselves the night we stayed. You are almost beneath the Hwy 101 bridge that crosses the bay."
"This campground is located just on the north side of the Waldport bridge. It doesn't offer beach front access, but it is right on the river. With a short walk to the beach."
"It's in a weird corner, squished between Hwy 101, Devil's Lake, and the ocean. But when you drive out you are right back in the middle of town."
"We saw deer, ducks, geese, etc. all from our fire pit. Location is super convenient to explore Lincoln city, the beach and the lake."

ScoutThis is a great spot. All the staff have been very friendly and helpful. They keep the place immaculately clean. Lots of great views with free hot showers, playgrounds, and firewood delivery. Just about anything you need right on the beach with jetty access all around.
ScoutThis is a very clean campground located right off the dunes. The campground has direct access to miles of sand to play in. It's quiet and run by such a wonderful family.
ScoutThis rustic park is perfect for year round camping. New to trailer camping and love the river views, the trees, the easy access and closeness to town.
RangerGood rest rooms and showers. Dump station is working and included in fee for campers. Close to old town Florence for shopping / eating experience. Non-Oregon residents pay higher rates. Otherwise, concur with other more detailed prior reviews. Would stay again.
RangerLarge level campground with well maintained landscaping. Asphalt paved roads and sites. Restrooms have flush toilets, hot/cold water sinks and individual showers. No tokens req'd. Nice asphalt paved walking path gets you close to beach for nice beach walks with views of iconic bridge from near jetty. Close to Oregon Aquarium which is good side trip. Sites lack privacy... and are a little close together but not bad... Quiet at night except for distant surf Would stay again.
GuideThis is a very nice clean campground. They have showers and a gift shop. The spaces are nice and not to close together. They also have a cute little book exchange in the main road. The beach is a .25 mile walk away in a paved path. Wery easy to get to. They allow pets on leashes but once you get to the beach, dogs can be off leash. The only negative I feel is they charge more for out of state residents which in my opinion is unfair and overpriced. And that does not include the 10.00 booking fee. 😐
RangerVery misty in early October but still nice.
RangerRight across from the beach. Next to the Hart campground resort. Plenty of water flushers and power.
GuideThis dispersed campground allows a 14-day stay. Paved roads and a good variety of sized campsites. I found a cemented level slab to park my trailer on, however, this was the only site with a cemented structure. Lots of blackberries to pick, and very nice place to hike with your pets.
Yurt camping near Newport, Oregon offers protected forest retreats a short walk from the Pacific Ocean. The region receives around 75 inches of precipitation annually, creating a lush coastal environment that stays cool even during summer months. Most coastal yurts remain solidly booked between June and September, with midweek availability more common during shoulder seasons.
Beach fossil hunting: At Beverly Beach State Park Campground, the shoreline contains abundant marine fossils. "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," notes Erik C. The beach is also "popular for agate hunting along the gravel bars, particularly after big storms that uncover new stones."
Kayaking on Devil's Lake: The freshwater alternative to ocean activities provides calm paddling conditions suitable for beginners. Devil's Lake State Recreation Area Campground offers "access down a long point/dock for non-motorized boats" according to Annie C. A camper named Blake F. adds that during summer "you'll also be just a stones throw from devils lake" if you book strategically.
Paved coastal cycling: Several campgrounds connect to paved trails ideal for family biking outings. At South Beach State Park Campground, you'll find "a great walk path (paved) and easy access to the beach," says Brian P. For longer rides, Patrick M. notes there are "good hikes around and across the adjoining dunes and to the beach."
Seasonal wildlife viewing: Late fall through spring offers prime whale watching opportunities from coastal viewpoints. According to Laura H. at Carl G. Washburne Memorial State Park Campground, visitors should be aware of potential wildlife encounters as they reported a "black bear spotted on beach trail June 2025." The campground provides "a pretty trail follows a creek under Hgwy 101 and out to the ocean," notes Frank S.
Private yurt settings: Many coastal yurts feature vegetation buffers between sites. Lauren Hannah G. at Beachside State Recreation Site reports, "Sites fairly close but didn't feel bothered by it." Darin D. elaborates: "Lots of trees, bushes between sites that make it feel more secluded. Some highway noise, but nothing too bad and it quiets down at night."
Morning beach solitude: Early risers can experience empty beaches even at popular campgrounds. Brandon K. says, "Peaceful morning walk on the beach" is possible at Beachside State Recreation Site, which has "a secret access to the beach that looks to be one of two away from the general access." At Beverly Beach, Cameron L. simply states, "Walk to a great beach. Walk in the forest."
Seasonal mosquito concerns: Summer campers should prepare for insects, particularly at inland locations. Multiple South Beach campers mention mosquitoes, with Brian C. warning, "Mosquitos were bad this year so bring bug spray."
