Camping near Fern Ridge Lake

There is almost nowhere to stay in the Newport/Oregon Coast areas, so this spot was a life saver! After you hit the dirt road, there are a few good but smaller pull off spots and a few bigger ones. Very quiet. So far, no one has bothered me, and I've only seen 1 car go past.

Stayed here two nights at the spot right at the intersection of the two roads. Views of the forest were sweet, and it was a really nice and spacious spot.

I only saw two spots in this is area up here so get here early and you should get a spot.

No service on the drive up but had a couple bars at my campsite. Beaver creek area was really cool, but the main trail was flooded out when I visited. I did see about 5 beavers close to the road though, so that was sweet.

By far one of my favorite campsites I’ve been to, highly recommend.

Only little pull offs that I found. Drove pretty deep into the forest and found a dead end spur. When back tracking the next morning I saw a few other campers camping close to where your gps will take you. This was a week day. Probably busier on the weekend.

I'm camping in an EV and was glad to find this spot with 50 amp hookup, which was more power than I needed to fully charge my car while I slept.

Site was very private. Campground was quiet. Host was friendly and helpful. Bathroom was clean. Nice short hike that went under Highway 101.

We arrived late on a Monday - our site was reserved with our names. We had to take our 5th wheel in for unexpected service. The staff was very accommodating and booked us for another night without an issue. We would stay here again.

We showed up without a reservation in mid March on a Friday and did not have a problem getting a spot. It was very windy and rainy so that probably worked to our advantage. Volunteer Martha was super friendly and helpful in suggesting the best spot available. The grounds were meticulously maintained and the design of the park was exceptional…lots of trees and greenery that provides privacy for each site. It didn’t feel like you were crowded in the least. The park sits up on a bluff overlooking the ocean but most sites are tucked into the tree that provided us with shelter from the wind. A short 10minute walk down the paved street brings you to the water’s edge and there are trails you can walk through with your pooches.

For $40, you get full hookup, great location and a well cared for place to relax.

My visit near Fawn Creek Campground in Oregon was a refreshing experience, surrounded by dense forests and rolling hills. The campground offers a quiet retreat with well-maintained facilities, making it a great spot for nature lovers. With temperatures ranging from 30°F in winter to 80°F in summer, it’s a beautiful destination year-round. Nearby attractions like Siuslaw National Forest and the Oregon Dunes National Recreation Area provide plenty of opportunities for hiking and exploration. For families with kids, keeping them entertained is easy whether it’s exploring the outdoors or enjoying Toca Boca games, a fun and creative way for kids to play and imagine. Overall, this area is a perfect blend of relaxation and adventure, making it a great choice for a weekend getaway!

We stayed 5 nights and had a great time. Campground was clean and so were the restrooms. Lots of campground hosts if you have a problem but otherwise they leave you alone.

I had such a nice time at this campground. We went in the off season (in the winter) so the campground didn’t have many people staying- most being in RVs and us in a yurt. I have a toddler and it ended up being so helpful with the weather being a bit rainy and getting some creature comforts while still enjoying nature.

The yurt comes with a bunk bed (top a twin and bottom maybe a full size), pull out couch, small table with 2 chairs and a heater. Our location was conveniently located near the bathroom which made for night bathroom visits easier. The bathroom is also very clean with multiple stalls and showers (push button but not coin operated).

The campground had a playground for kids, a small free library and ranger station with a couple of souvenirs of the area. The campground offers firewood to buy and extra ice.

The campground is located near the dunes, not far from the city with grocery stores if you forget something, it’s not a far drive from Seal Rock, and the lighthouse.

Overall we loved it. Wish I had an extra booked night to really get the most of the location

The camp sites were decent size and they have life jackets for little ones

We loved staying here! Beautiful beach that is lovely at sunset and sunrise. Helpful and friendly hosts. Sites fairly close but didnt feel bothered by it.

We rolled into this park in a torrential rainstorm just at dark. Thankfully, site 10 was perfectly level, and hookups all worked great. Clean bathrooms and gorgeous setting, even in the the rain

Horse Creek is a great site for horse camping. Only two sites are for non-stock campers. The camp has no water or any hook ups but the corrals are pretty good except they can get muddy if manure is not carefully picked out. 

The horse water trough is a short walk away from camp but does not have potable water. If users are not careful it can drain or not be usable so bring horse water. 

The trails are wonderful!! But hilly so make sure your horse is fit or you are willing to take it easy. Many of the original overlooks are starting to be grown in but the forest is amazing!

I stayed at Armitage for an overnight visit in the area and thought the location was quite nice: wooded with adequate facilities and plenty of space between sites. The RV park staff disappear a little before 5 pm and who knows when they come in the mornings. No wifi reception (at least where I was). Not bad overall.
