Best Campgrounds near Pacific City, OR

1,095 Reviews

The Oregon coast near Pacific City has some good camping options within a short drive. Beverly Beach State Park Campground sits 33 miles away with sites spaced among old trees, giving campers some privacy while staying close to trails and the beach. About 34 miles from Pacific City, Nehalem Bay State Park Campground has spots right by the beach where you might see local wildlife. You'll want to book either place well ahead of time, especially if you're planning a summer trip when they fill up fast. Kids generally have a good time at both parks, which run nature programs and guided walks during the main season. Fishing is good in this area, with both rivers and ocean spots available depending on what you're after. The area has plenty of hiking trails that go through forests and along the shoreline. Many locals prefer camping here in spring or fall when it's less crowded and temperatures are mild. Winter camping works too, but bring rain gear since it gets pretty wet. Remember that some campsites have limited facilities, so pack accordingly. You can reserve spots online up to six months before your trip, which is smart for these popular areas.
