Cape Kiwanda RV Resort and Marketplace provides pet-friendly accommodations across from Pelican Brewery and a short walk to the beach. Webb County Campground, locally known for its population of wild bunnies that roam freely throughout the grounds, also welcomes pets for an additional fee. Most campgrounds in Pacific City require pets to be leashed when outside RVs or tents. Visitors frequently encounter dozens of rabbits at both Webb County Campground and Cape Kiwanda RV Resort, which children enjoy but can be challenging for dogs with strong prey drives. Pet owners should be prepared with waste bags as availability of designated pet waste stations varies between facilities. The campgrounds offer various accommodation options including tent sites, RV hookups, and cabins where pets are permitted.
Beaches near Pacific City campgrounds provide excellent locations for dogs to play, with Cape Kiwanda beach just a four-minute walk from Webb County Campground. The proximity to both forest trails and beach access makes Pacific City ideal for camping with pets. During summer months, early morning beach walks offer cooler temperatures for dogs before the sand heats up. Campers staying at Webb County or Cape Kiwanda should maintain control of their pets, as the resident rabbit population presents a constant distraction. Hart's Camp, located directly across from Cape Kiwanda beach, offers another pet-friendly option with full hookups and gated access, though sites are graveled and not completely level. All local campgrounds maintain clean facilities with hot showers, important for rinsing salt and sand from both humans and pets after beach outings.
"A bit out of the way of the 101, north of Pacific City, I really enjoyed this campsite. The campsite itself is pretty standard, we got a unique spot with a few trees and bushes for a hammock."
"I camped twice at Cape Lookout this season - in June in a yurt, and in July at the campsite right behind the dune. In June, it was freezing, rainy and windy, and the yurt was fantastic."

"The drive up to the campground looks like you are heading to a dairy farm, and lets just say those cows have the best ocean view of any other cows out there."
TravelerThis is a really beautiful campground, probably the best TT that I've stayed in! Forested and just steps away from the Pacific Ocean. Pacific City is just a few minutes away and it offers good restaurants and many recreational activities.
ScoutThe directions/coordinates are for 10min outside pacific city. It is now a private entrance/driveway with no access to go through to the dispersed coordinates! And the locals said a lot of the forest is closed off due to logging in that area. Defiantly follow the rangers review about the devils churn/thors well spot. The directions from Dyrt was about an hour or so away from his instructions ! We weren’t able to find a spot and ended up leaving the area
entirely.
LegendWe 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.
TravelerGreat campground for activities all day. When the tide comes in Sandlake fills up and wraps around creating the island. when the tide goes out there are cockles and crabs to find as well as hikes around the island. It's drycamping with a flush toilet and a holding tank dump site. Showers are available at Webb campground in Pacific City. Day trips to Pacific City, Cascade Head, or Tillamook make for a fun time.
RangerEnded up staying here (Light site) for 3 nights after my group had to make a last second pivot with smoke in Central Oregon. We were super happy with the location and privacy of the site (quick 15 minute drives to Pacific City/Lincoln City or 5 minute drive to Neskowin).
We ran into a bit of confusion booking through the Dyrt as it wasn’t clear what the difference was between Light site and Sublime site (Hipcamp clearly shows the difference btw). The difference is that Sublime is a pretty open plot of land with plenty of room to run and explore whereas Light site is a narrow 15x80’ strip of land on the side of a hill. It sounds lame, but it actually worked out well. A lot of the exploring areas on the property described on the Dyrt seem only to apply to Sublime site. Also, The Dyrt makes it seem as if pets are allowed on the whole property, but apparently they are only allowed on Sublime. So if your booking through Dyrt, check out the Hipcamp description of sites to make sure you are getting what you want.
My biggest quibble is that while this ended up being a great site, we probably will only come back here in a pinch because the price is nearly 4x what you would end up paying at a public campground and there is no water, trash, or bathroom services included in this price. We had a large group and there is a surcharge of $5/person/night (including kids) over the base (2adults/2kids)…so we ended up paying $270 for 3 nights. In comparison, the campsite in Central Oregon that we cancelled due to smoke was $60 for all three nights.
In summary. This is a great spot, but the price is bloated for what you get (especially for larger groups).
TravelerA bit out of the way of the 101, north of Pacific City, I really enjoyed this campsite. The campsite itself is pretty standard, we got a unique spot with a few trees and bushes for a hammock. Walking distance to the ocean and a lot of cool spots. Wasn’t too full when we were there, probably one of the less populated sites
GuideThis campground is absolutely beautiful to me. It's nestled in the woods next to the beach with the cute little town of Pacific City just 5 minutes away. The staff was very friendly. We have yet to meet an unfriendly staff member at a Thousand Trails campground. There are two entrances... Just make sure you go in the one with the big sign. The other is actually used moreso as an exit. Some of the roads get a bit steep so be slow and cautious. We have a 38' rig. If you have a bigger rig we were told to avoid the Section I because it's hard to turn around. We went towards Section E instead. With a 2 week stay we needed sewer hookups which are very limited. We got space E1 which was fairly private, full hookups, 50 amp, and right by the bathrooms too. If you come to Section E do NOT turn around at the bathroom. It's too tight. Go straight to the turnaround at the end and come back. We saw way too many people almost trash their rigs. It looks like there are some higher up spots that have amazing views but they were all already taken. Limited services at them though.
The facilities all looked great! Well kept and nice. The lodge is the one place with internet since the repeaters weren't functional yet. Someone mentioned people keep hitting them too much to get them up and running yet. The indoor pool is clean and next to an outdoor hot tub. Some of the recreational amenities are a bit worn but I can understand not keeping them up as it doesn't seem like people use them much anyways. There are a few spots to just sit and look out at the ocean that we enjoyed. There's also a nice trail that goes down to the ocean. You do cross the road so just watch out there. It's marked for cars to be aware too.
The sand dunes nearby are a great spot to see. We also hung out for a bit at the beach in Pacific City. Tillamook is a short drive and worth the trek as well as Cape Meares to the north.
GuideGREAT location for access to pacific city and the beach and all the GREAT joys of this lovely beach town. Pelican Brewing is basically your kitchen for your stay. Lovely way to enjoy the beach for under $30 a night.
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).
The trees lining the camp sites worked really well for my hammock hang needs.
GuideNice place to stay right away the beach, although it is always busy and not quiet. Tons of wild bunnies running around. Pool closes at 6 which is a major bummer. Doryland pizza onsite is tasty and across the street from Pelican Brewing and the beach. In the heart of Pacific City, OR for you surfers or dory boat watchers 🙂
Camping near Pacific City, Oregon is situated where the Nestucca River meets the Pacific Ocean, with campsites ranging from sea level to 3,000 feet elevation on nearby Mount Hebo. Winter temperatures average 40-50°F while summer temperatures reach 65-75°F with frequent coastal fog and mist. The surrounding Siuslaw National Forest provides diverse terrain from sand dunes to forested mountains.
Hiking at Mount Hebo: Access multiple forest trails from Hebo Lake Campground, located about 20 minutes from Pacific City. "There is a path that goes around the small lake, and if you time it right the fishing is great," notes Nick J. The Pioneer-Indian Trail connects to South Lake, offering a challenging 7-mile trek through old-growth forest.
Kayaking in protected waters: Whalen Island Campground offers calm water paddling when tides are right. "You can kayak if you know the tidal pattern and the wildlife is amazing!" writes Carole B. The estuary fills during high tide, creating ideal conditions for beginners and wildlife viewing.
Sandboarding on Cape Kiwanda dunes: Rent equipment in town and tackle the massive dune at Cape Kiwanda. "You can rent sandboards to ride down the dunes of Cape Kiwanda (it's a serious workout!)" says Ryan E. The climb up is steep but the ride down provides stunning ocean views and beach access.
Wild rabbit watching: Webb County Campground hosts dozens of tame rabbits that roam freely. "We counted 47 during our two night stay there," reports Audrey M. These rabbits have become a beloved attraction, particularly for children who enjoy spotting them throughout the grounds.
Easy beach access: Most campers appreciate proximity to beaches. "Cape Kiwanda beach is just a 4 minute walk," states Audrey M. about Webb County Campground. Most sites are within walking distance to Pacific City's main beach, providing convenient access without driving.
Pelican Brewery proximity: Several campgrounds are situated near this popular brewpub. "Literally across the street from Pelican Brew and rad surf," writes Sara S. about Cape Kiwanda RV Resort. The brewery serves meals throughout the day and offers ocean views from its patio.
Cell service limitations: Many campgrounds have poor reception. "No cell service, so be prepared," warns Dana O. about Thousand Trails Pacific City. Plan offline activities and download maps before arrival.
Seasonal flooding concerns: Devil's Lake can experience standing water during rainy months. "I've been here in the fall when more than half the campsites were flooded or filled with standing water," cautions Blake F. Spring camping may require calling ahead to check conditions.
Tight spacing at commercial campgrounds: Most private campgrounds have limited site spacing. "Sites are pretty close but since you won't spend too much time there it's not an issue," explains Amy B. about Cape Kiwanda RV Resort. State parks typically offer more privacy between sites.
Consider Forest Service dispersed camping: For a more secluded experience, dispersed camping sites near Pioneer-Indian Trail provide quiet alternatives to busy campgrounds. "We saw absolutely no-one! We didn't pass a single car the rest of the way," reports Josie M. These free sites require no reservation but have no facilities.
Check campground amenities for kids: Some campgrounds offer substantial family facilities. "Kids really enjoyed camping here. Kept clean, and stocked with games and things to do in clubhouse," says Nicole R. about Thousand Trails Pacific City. Their indoor pool and recreation area provide rainy day options.
Morning beach activities: Early morning provides optimal beach conditions before crowds arrive. "We walked up and down the beach the majority of our stay," writes Jessica C. Tide charts are essential as some beaches disappear completely during high tide.
Leveling challenges: Many sites require substantial leveling. "Every spot we saw was so un-level that my trailer couldn't compensate enough to have a comfortable stay," warns Josh H. about Thousand Trails Pacific City. Bring extra leveling blocks, especially for larger rigs.
Site selection strategy: Request specific sites when possible. "We've been coming here for over 20 years. We love walking across the road to the Pelican Brewery and watching the dories being launched," explains Dean. Waterfront or end sites typically offer more space and better views.
Off-season discounts: Winter camping provides substantial savings. "We were given a nice private site upon request. The winter price was equal to what the state parks charge," reports Terra J. Most campgrounds offer reduced rates October through May with fewer crowds.
