Best Campgrounds near Powers, OR

This is one of our favorite campgrounds, but this time we stayed here on the last day of April and so we had to stay in the smaller loop closer to the entrance, rather than the bigger area closer to the beach. The beach side area is closed every winter from October 1- April 30. You can still access the campground and the beach on foot, but it’s blocked from driving through. 

We checked out the hiker/biker sites this time, they are $8/night and have really nice and private individual sites with a picnic table and fire pit, and water in the hiker/biker area. There is a free dump station and water fill here at this campground as well. The Humbug Mountain trail across the highway (there’s an underpass from the campground for pedestrians) is amazing and a great challenge. The cell service on the bigger beach side is spotty but ok-ish, but in the smaller loop the Verizon phone had zero service (but it was ok with the WeBoost), and ATT had weak service.

My husband and I were driving up the coast trying to find a campground that was not either full or super expensive. We had just about given up finding a place when we found this RV Park, we called and were thrilled to hear that not only did they have a space but they were also very very reasonably priced. They had full electric and water that we had been deprived of for a couple of days. I can't speak highly enough of the Campground hostess who was absolutely sweet and very helpful! I would highly recommend that you also pop into this oasis that we found and enjoy a very peaceful night sleep and a camp hostess that is super kind and helpful. Happy journeys to you!

My family and I have been camping periodically the fairgrounds for a couple of years now.

The grounds used to be well maintained, dump station was free to registered guests, WiFi was decent enough for steaming shows, you were allowed 1 tow vehicle before they started charging, shower access from 8am to 8pm every day and if you needed to make a middle of the night trash run for whatever reason you could.

Now, you have to pay for the dump station no matter what, shower access is limited to if you can get the host to come and unlock them long enough for you to shower (which we have yet to be able to do the last couple times weve been to the park), you have to pay for ALL vehicles and if you have a 5th wheel or any other tow RV you have to keep the tow vehicle WITH the RV the entire stay (and yes you are now charged for the tow vehicle even with a towed RV), the wifi has massive amount of restrictions on it now to the point its basically useless even if you manage to connect to it, most designated fire pits are fire hazards with the amount of growth in them, and recently they have been shutting off the water without notice during high heat days to the point the sheriff's had to come out and talk to the host. Oh, and if you want to file a complaint to the managers in the office for the fairgrounds, it will only cause you issues because they ARE the hosts.

This decline only started when the office managers took over being the hosts. I have no idea why they did since the host before them was an amazing host (and is currently at another campground after they fired her) but they seriously need someone to take over hosting that will actually do the job.

Literally 100 feet from the beach, this tiny campground offers full hookups, 50 amp for 4 sites (the rest are 30 amp), a conveniently located, clean and tidy bathrooms with showers, a laundry and well-cared-for sites. Our 40-foot rig fit nicely into a pull-through and though our 20-foot truck would have fit fine diagonally, they have a free overflow parking area mere feet away. I don't know if it's the case year-round but they are set up to allow you to look at all of the available sites and pick the one you like. That was fun! Great to discover there was a 50-amp available AND it was a pull-through! Super convenient, great vibe here. Highly recommended for anyone that loves strolling on the endless beach and combing for rocks and shells. Terrific. Also walkable to Gold Beach. If you want to do any hiking, pop in your car and there are many options near by!

You will need to be aware that this is an old park. Things are rusting and need to be replaced, but it's a super place to stay. They could put about $20k into the place to make it up to snuff but no complaints here, it's so peaceful and tucked away!
