Best Dog-Friendly Camping near Newport, OR

1,085 Reviews

Beverly Beach State Park Campground accommodates pets at all standard sites with easy beach access via a pedestrian tunnel. Leashed dogs accompany campers throughout the park's forested setting, with sites arranged in loops offering varying levels of privacy between neighbors. South Beach State Park similarly welcomes pets on their grounds, maintaining a clean environment with dog waste stations placed strategically along trails and campground loops. Full hookup RV sites, tent spaces, and yurts provide options for all camping styles. Most coastal campgrounds enforce a standard six-foot leash requirement for pets throughout the properties. Pet owners should note that some campgrounds enforce LED light restrictions at night for all campers and pets.

Forest Road 51 near Beaver Creek offers dispersed camping options for those seeking more primitive experiences with their dogs. The path to this area requires careful navigation, especially for larger vehicles. When exploring trails with dogs, the paved coastal paths connect many campgrounds to beach access points where pets can enjoy the sand and surf. Newport's proximity means veterinary services remain accessible in case of emergencies. Tillicum Beach Campground features direct beach access from campsites, with the quieter, shaded spots slightly removed from Highway 101 providing better environments for noise-sensitive pets. The beach areas near these campgrounds consist of a mix of rocky and sandy terrain suitable for dog walks. Pet owners mention the need to watch for rough-skinned newts in some forested campgrounds, as these amphibians can be poisonous if licked or eaten by curious dogs.

    Beverly Beach State Park Campground

    Great location if you want access to the beach

    Very convienient and terrific for a family. Not too far from Newport so if you forgot something it's an easy trip to go pick it up. Beautiful beach and great for large groups.

    Albany-Corvallis KOA

    Tent camping

    Well we did not know that when tent camping you can only stay two weeks we were originally told we could stay as long as we wanted as long as we moved and did not stay in a spot more than 7 days. Not a bad campground just don't like the two week stay rule. Plus my cat loves it. There is a natural that can be walked, a dog park, swimming pool, also a place to throw disc golf disc's.

    Creekside Retreat at Triangle Lake

    Orwellian glamping

    Advertised as a pet friendly glamping space. Brought my dog and upon arrival was told dogs are not allowed inside tent. On the website it states dogs must be on leash and not left alone outside. How is anyone able to sleep inside a tent while not having your pet alone outside not being allowed inside tent? Apparently my campsite is recorded audio and video by the hosts and we were unnecessarily aggressively confronted. The creek we camped next to was polluted with pet feces, nitrous cartridges and used cigarette filters. Overall we left and felt scammed. They charged us $25 for wood we never burned

    Hebo Lake Campground

    My favorite place

    My 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.

    Thousand Trails South Jetty

    Gloomy pit but good dog park

    When we Stayed: Mid-April, Thursday night

    Overall Experience: would not stay again in the tiny, cramped, dark campsite.

    Sites: the whole park was down a slope with a creek running through. It was dark and gloomy and a mosquito haven. Our site was uneven and narrow. Walking around, the park seemed nicer especially on the upper loop with bigger sites and less mosquitos.

    Dog Friendly: the best part about the park was the nice sized off leash dog park.

    Seal Rocks RV Cove

    It's All About the View

    This 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."

    Coyote Rock RV Resort & Marina

    Definitely great spot

    Absolutely 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.

    South Beach State Park Campground

    Great location

    Walking distance to the beach. Ranger led activities in the summer. Paved path to the jetty and from there access to the Mark Hatfield Aquatic Center, Rogue Brewery, Oregon Coast Aquarium, and Newport Harbor. Lots of things to do within a short drive. Check out the guided kayak trips offered through the forest service on Beaver Creek.

Guide to Newport

Forest Road 51 near Beaver Creek offers dispersed camping for those seeking seclusion without facilities. The narrow, unpaved road requires careful navigation, especially for larger vehicles. Most campsites are small clearings at pullouts along the forest road. According to visitors, spots are limited and fill up quickly during summer weekends, with approximately 4-5 viable tent sites and very few suitable for vehicles larger than small trailers.

What to do

Beachcombing for fossils and agates: Beverly Beach State Park Campground provides access to beaches known for marine fossil hunting. "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., who adds that "Beverly Beach is also popular for agate hunting along the gravel bars, particularly after big storms that uncover new stones."

Birdwatching in forested campgrounds: Beachside State Recreation Site maintains multiple trail systems connecting campsites to beach areas where coastal birds frequent. Recent campers report seeing specific wildlife: "We seen stellar jays and a woodpecker," according to Debbie I., who appreciated the "easy access to the nature trails and to the beach."

Crabbing near marina facilities: Campers staying at Port of Newport RV Park & Marina have direct access to crabbing spots. "You are right off the marina and could crab and fish to your hearts content," reports Nathan K., who found the staff "super nice and helped us with everything." The marina location offers year-round opportunities for seafood harvesting.

What campers like

Private sites with vegetation barriers: Tillicum Beach Campground offers sites with natural screening between neighbors. "We had an ocean view, beach access and a large semi private site. It was quiet, clean and the hosts were very friendly," shares Nicole S., who specifically recommends the oceanfront section for privacy and views.

Clean shower facilities: South Beach State Park Campground provides well-maintained shower buildings throughout the campground loops. Campers appreciate the upkeep: "Nice grounds, several bathrooms. Near a great walk path (paved) and easy access to the beach. This is a great campground and very kid friendly!!" according to Brian P., who found the facilities consistently maintained.

Accessibility considerations: Some campgrounds offer designated accessible camping options. "We stayed in an ADA site during the week in mid July. It was nice flat ground and easy access to the beach through the campground," reports Tiffany E. about Beverly Beach State Park, though she cautions that "when full, it can get loud."

What you should know

Road noise proximity: Several campgrounds near Newport sit adjacent to Highway 101, creating ambient traffic sounds. At Seal Rocks RV Cove, Marcus K. notes the site layout creates "Bi Polar Campground" conditions: "While the ocean facing sites are pretty cool the other sites are pretty awful. Instead of ocean waves all you hear is non stop road noise all day/night."

Mosquito prevalence: South Beach State Park experiences seasonal mosquito activity. Multiple campers mention this issue, including Brian C. who advises: "Mosquitos were bad this year so bring bug spray. Also make sure you book a head because it always is booked from June to October."
