      Fir Ridge Campgrounds

      Not a place

      I dove thru. Told not welcome. 2+ year wait list to live there. Asked if I could just pay to park somewhere safely in there as a single woman, in her 40's, just to stay in my car and watch TV on my own cell service in my car? I was told no. I told them I didn't want to live there tonight, I was looking into rv living and feeling out what the lifestyle is about. Currently just a "leave no trace overnight sleep".

      Nope.

      Met a couple residents and park attendant/host and this is NOT A PLACE TO STAY.

      Looks like some kind of laundry area and possibly 1 shower stall. CHeesy (some kind of 1/4 height saloon town cutouts) hostile, rude, unfriendly, and discriminating. Best to move straight past it.

      Group site rental mid week stay

      This small campground is very far off the 101 so if you are looking for a coastal vibe this is not it. Deeply wooded, green, and beautiful. One side of the campground sits alongside Nehalem river access, on hot days this is a popular hangout so expect to see a lot of people. Vault toilets after a busy summer season were ammonia rich and hard to handle. Trash receptacles and potable water available. (Old school pump) I’ve heard that it stays wet enough back there that this campsite never really has a fire ban, but always check with the camp host, they also sell fire wood. First come first serve campsites Using reserve America online. Do Not confuse this campsite with Nehalem Bay State park when reserving.

      Tillamook State Forest Dispersed Camping

      Unreal Experience

      Tillamook Forest has so many amazing dispersed camping opportunities! We turned onto Ben Smith road and then took logging trails up the peaks. We found a perfect spot that looked like we were on the edge of a cliff but was actually still very safe for our toddler. No cell service, so we just unplugged for 3 nights and enjoyed the time together. We could see the northern lights the first night we were there, and it was absolutely incredible. We had a lot of privacy. One hunter walked by, I assume he was using the nearby trail. We heard some ATVs over the days, but it wasn't disruptive. Totally recommend it, and we'll definitely be back.

      VERY close to neighbors

      I believed I had my lighting situation under control, not bright and off at an appropriate time, but when I woke up the next morning, my neighbor said I had offended the stars with my toxic and harsh LEDs. Can’t win em all 🤷‍♂️

      Fun spot for impromptu camping trip!

      My husband and I decided we wanted to camp at the coast this weekend and every other camp site and state park was full, so we stumbled upon this place! It was easy to find following the directions on this site. Like other reviews mentioned, there are cars that drive by since it is a forest road, but we didn’t notice too much of a disturbance from them. It was pretty secluded. We stayed at the intersection campsite, and it was great! There was trash from previous campers, but we cleaned it up before we left!

      Cape Lookout State Park Campground

      Very uneven experience depending on loop

      We have visited this campground twice over the years, the most recent as part of roadtrip back from Yosemite.  The quality of the experience really has to do with what loop you camp in.  If you look at the website for the park there is a notice that they are getting ready to do construction and it appears many of the issues will be fixed.

      Right now, I'd strongly recommend camping in the upper part of the "A", "B" or "C" loops.  The lower parts of "A" and "B" are pretty exposed with just dune grass/bushes for protection.  The bathrooms in those loops are also in the best shape.  The "D" loop needs a lot of work.  The bathroom is very mildewed and just bearable.

      Forest Road 51 near Beaver Creek

      Could’ve been so good 🥲

      This area was easy to get to with Apple Maps which was great, however there was only one open site - after settling in it became clear that the other sites were more permanent setups….. there were cars coming and going all night, one in the dark going easily 50mph almost hit us. Would not recommend in its current state for people looking for calm camping.

      Sweet & close to town

      We loved our stay here; it's great for families. The bathroom and showers were clean, and we appreciated the large sink for dishwashing. Wright's is quite close to town, so we were easily able to walk to the beach and main part of town. Site 10 is decently sized, and fit our 20' campervan + bike rack easily.

      Great when all the state parks are full(all summer)

      A great small site to visit when you can’t get in at Cape Lookout. Campground is small which is nice since there isn’t much separation between tent sites. The location is great for paddling around Sand Lake though you’ll have to go a bit to access the ocean. Tillamook county knows what they’ve got and they will charge for each vehicle and each tent on the ground.

      Beautiful Location and Great Campsites HIGHLY RECOMMEND

      I was amazed by how beautiful the site was that I had to stay an extra night. The staff at the reservation office was super kind and accommodating to my request, helped me find a site that was available for the full length of my stay, and gave me some options to look at before deciding on a site. I chose a site in the V section and was left speechless; it was stunning! I'm not much of a camper, but this had to have been one of the most beautiful sites I've stayed at in my life. 50m walk to the beach, lots of trees for privacy, and a big lot for the campsite. Showers were $0.25/min, and were a min of $0.50 to start, they were relatively clean and private.

      I also surfed at Barview Jetty Beach, where there were some great waves for beginners! Although I'm not sure if you're allowed to surf there since I was the only I saw surfing, but I didn't see any signs saying you couldn't.

      Spent a lot of time up there tent camping on the weekends. Randy was the camp post. The grounds were always kept clean and improved every week. Great summer spot for steelhead fishing before the state screwed up that also.

      Great if you can snag a spot

      Looks like there are 2 pull off spots here. One was taken by another camper, and I was grateful to snag the second one. Stayed here for 2 nights. It is off a gravel road, but it's not that busy. Pretty view and relatively secluded. Would stay again. The 2ish mile drive up the gravel road to get here was easy enough.

      I've stayed here multiple times over the years and really enjoy the facility. The proximity to the beach and skatepark couldn't be better. You can hear the ocean plainly from camp. The showers work perfectly! The rabbit population seems to be down from previous years, which isn't a terrible thing. The hosts are gr8! I'll be back soon 😁

      Not great for a quiet nature getaway

      Camped on the night of July 3rd. Campsite 58, one of the furthest away from the dunes but you couldn’t escape the noise - ATV riders/generators did not adhere to quiet hours (10pm-7am), the engines quieted down around 1am but then started back up around 5:30am. Great if you like the dune buggy lifestyle but not if you are looking for a serene/private excursion. The hiker/biker camps offer more visual privacy but you can still hear the off road vehicles on the dunes.

      Dispersed Camping Near Pioneer-Indian Trail in Siuslaw National Forest

      Amazing secluded mountain view

      We didn’t actually stay here because it was already taken. But I wanted to create this view just to add additional context on how to find it.

      There’s a pretty decent sized gravel turnout… It’s the only big gravel turn out like this on this part of the road … you’ll see what looks like a logging road with a steep decline. It looks a little intimidating, but you go down that road and it curves around in a sea shape for about a half a mile and ends in the big open area where you can camp.

      If you’re telling something, I’d recommend walking the road to check to see if anybody is down there before you go down because it’s the only place you’d be able to turn around with your trailer.

      Wish we were able to actually stay in this spot. Really big open flat area for either your travel trailer or a small group with tents. Amazing view very secluded feeling. Maybe next time!
