Best Tent Camping near Ophir, OR

We were travelling up the coast into the night and not finding somewhere to tent camp when we stopped here. There was a sign that said not to camp without registering but the office was closed. A nice couple gave us the wifi password and we called the number on the sign. They were very helpful and told us where the tent sites were and to pay in the morning. We camped in a big meadow by the creek with not a single other camper there in the tent area. My son loved discovering a newt and slug by the creek in the morning. We also made use of the showers and laundry services. Price was 45 for tent site, which wasn't cheap but reasonable.

All the campsites along 101 for miles were taken and we saw the sign to this place...

Wow! We were surprised that they had a single tent camping site left. They were surprised too in fact. Anyway, the place is a legit resort. Its some 50 acres and the tent campsites reside away from the RV area a little ways. Enough to seem secluded. They situated the place perfectly. My words cannot describe the elegance. Its a great natural setting. They set you up with a map. $25 a night but well worth it. Your closest neighbor is like 50-75 yards away at least. Soft grass ground, picnic table, fire pit. We got a site placed right behind two large ponds huge meadows. It was great. Very clean. Staff are mostly there to run the main store and RV area and are very accommodating if you need assistance. Again, the buildings and RVs are a little walk (out of sight) of the tent camping area. Showers if you need them. Beach is a short 1/4 mile walk across 101. Water available. If you’re looking for deep forest rough camping this isnt it. If you’re looking for easy going camping and beauty, this is just the place.

This is usually my first camping stop (tent camping) when I enter Oregon.  Does not look like much from the road but a choice little camping spot.  Like all Oregon State Parks it is well maintained, great facilities and of course hot showers.  You can access the coast and beach and hike the hills.

This area of the Oregon Coast is a must see.

Oregon does it right! While there are traditional spots for RV and tent camping, the Hike and Bike area was awesome. Each spot is private with a table and fire pit. Showers are included in your fee, the campground is quiet, and there is a nice walk to the beach (dogs are allowed). The campground is well maintained and clean. Very relaxing.

Good location close to the coast. Had a straight tent site which was basic as would be expected. The big negative is that the sites are close together so there isn't much privacy.

Bullard is a must see if you are on the Oregon Coast. The campground is full of overgrown greenery, it has many RV, Tent sites and a couple Yurts. The best part about Bullards State Park is the Beach and the lighthouse. The beach is awesome for beach combing with clam fossils, agates and lots of drift wood. The tide can be a little crazy, so keep an eye out.

Lovely spot. Best TV park we’ve ever stayed at. Sites feel more like “camping” and less like “parking lot” like many RV places. More open space. Nice dog park too. Tent sites are very spaced out and lovely.

Our son-in-law took us to this campground where we stayed over night over the 4th of July holiday in 2018. On this occasion we were tent camping. It was a quiet and enjoyable camp. the amenities were clean and well maintained. We will be going back there when we are in the area again.

Have stayed at Loeb many times over the past 37 years -- tent camping, cabin camping, and now tent-trailering -- and it has been fun every time.

The showers are great. Short walk to the super-clean Chetco River for swimming and salamander-camping. Twenty minute drive to the ocean beaches. Good hosts. Fun watching kids ride their bikes around and around. Grassy park-lawn section for croquet or bocce ball.

Ok for car camping, this campground provides a decent stopover point on the drive down the CA coast highway. It is fairly close to the highway, so you can hear highway traffic. Not recommended for relaxing tent camping. Good night's sleep for van camping or RV camping. Spots are close together but fairly well separated by trees and shrubs. Bathrooms clean, flush toilets, even hot water.

We were having difficulties finding a campground that wasn't full at the beginning of the 4th of July weekend. We ended up here and the staff were incredibly nice. There were reservations beginning the next day and the staff let us stay in one for the night. There was plenty of privacy, hook-ups for RV's (we tent camp), no-fee showers, clean restrooms, and an easy walk down by the river. We would definitely stay here again.

There are no wind breaks at all and there is nothing between the other camp sites. Other than that it wasn't bad. They have a restaurant on site. There are RV sites, tent sites and cabins. The park is right on the beach so there is almost no walking to get to the water. I wouldn't stay there again just because of the wind.

Really great campground: pretty location right on the river, hot showers, restrooms, fire pits. It looked like it was all tent sites (no hookups) but plenty of big rigs were there as well. They take the 5 mph rule very seriously. We drove in at about 10 and corrected to 5 when the assistant camp host screamed at us and then drove to our campsite to yell at us more.
