Best Glamping near Rockaway Beach, OR

Nehalem Bay State Park Campground and Cape Lookout State Park Campground house upscale glamping options within minutes of Rockaway Beach, featuring stylish yurts that blend rustic charm with modern comforts. Each yurt provides electricity, comfortable beds, and private outdoor spaces with fire rings and picnic tables, all set against the backdrop of Oregon's stunning coastal landscape. "Really cool atmosphere just steps away from the beach. The sounds of the waves can be heard right from your site. Nice facilities. Yurt is highly recommended and sleeps 5. Really liked that each yurt had its own deck, picnic table, and fire pit," notes one guest. The spacious canvas structures include solid wood floors, lockable doors, and screened windows, with nearby restroom facilities offering hot showers – creating a perfect balance between natural immersion and comfort for those seeking luxury outdoor stays.

The beach and oceanfront settings distinguish these glamping resorts from traditional camping experiences, with private paths leading directly to miles of pristine shoreline perfect for beachcombing, wildlife viewing, and spectacular sunset watching. Jetty Fishery Marina & RV Park enhances the coastal glamping adventure with unique seafood experiences where guests can catch their own crabs or enjoy freshly prepared local seafood right on site. According to a recent visitor, "You can rent items to go crabbing or just eat some of their fresh clams, oysters and crab. We did a bit both! Staff is friendly and hard working." Most glamping sites remain open year-round, though summer and early fall offer the mildest weather conditions. Canvas tent accommodations at Twins Ranch LLC provide a more intimate glamping experience with fire rings, picnic areas, and hot showers while maintaining the natural coastal setting just minutes from local dining options in nearby Manzanita and Tillamook.

    Cape Kiwanda RV Resort and Marketplace

    Cute cabin!

    We 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.

    Kampers West RV Park

    Enjoyed the rustic cabin!

    Wanting to avoid the wildfire smoke in September, we headed to the coast in search of fresher air.  With rain in the forecast, we opted to stay in one of the cute rustic cabins at Kampers West RV Park. The front desk staff were welcoming when we arrived.  The cabin was basic but comfortable the night. It had a full bed and bunk bed, table, chair and heater.  Kampers West is conveniently located near Fort Stevens State Park and Lewis and Clark National Historical Park / Fort Clatsop and the The Fort To Sea Trail hiking in Warrenton.

    Dairy Creek West — L.L. Stub Stewart Memorial State Park

    Bike and Camp...or drive up and walk up

    We LOVE this campground. Quick drive from SE Portland (or bike out all the way on a lovely trail if you are so inclined). We drove up to meet up with friends who biked in so we could camp a few nights. The sites are well situated so that there is enough distance that we could not see our neighbors. The communal fire pit was convenient and wood was provided. The campsite had gravel so we were glad we brought our moving blanket to place under our tent tarp. The trails were extensive and we could hear the brooke!

    Nehalem Bay State Park Campground

    Peaceful Slice of Heaven on the Pacific Coast

    Really cool atmosphere just steps away from the beach. The sounds of the waves can be heard right from your site. Nice facilities. Yurt is highly recommended and sleeps 5. Really liked that each yurt had its own deck, picnic table, and fire pit. The shrubbery around the campgrounds was really cool and offered extra privacy. They also had equestrian sites as well as tent and electric RV. Cannot wait to go back my only regret was that we couldn't stay longer!

    Sandbeach

    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.

    Cape Disappointment State Park Campground

    The best place to unplug.

    We stayed at Disappointment for almost a week. It is a great place to relax and unplug from life. In the main campground loops, There is no WiFi available, No TV signals of any kind, and absolutely no cell service from any Cell service provider. We use all 3 main carriers, AT&T, Verizon, and T Mobile for service and work. The is no cell service, not even with a Cell Booster.

    Overall, it is a nice park campground. There's lots of trees. It's easy for us to get in and out. Nice hiking trails. A secluded beach that rarely sees people outside of Summer.

    The only downside we had was the increased amount of pollution washing up on the shoreline. It was pretty bad.

    In the end, it was a really great place to unplug from the world, relax, and enjoy nature.

    Fort Stevens State Park Campground

    Largest campground this side of the Mississippi!

    We didn’t realize how big this campground was until we got there. Over 560 sites! Camping world! The sites are not terribly private but it still beats most RV parks. Like the previous poster said, quiet hours were not enforced and there was a loud group across from us active until well past 10. It’s an impressive place though with lots of volunteers picking up trash and being helpful. One did enforce some daytime quiet with loud music coming from the rowdy group. We ended up not staying long but I’m glad we saw this place. If you want to drive out the spit, to the very “end” of Oregon, there’s a bunch of road construction. You turn into a break in the fence and will very soon be driving on the beach! Everyone is doing it and mostly fishing. It was an adventurous surprise for sure!

    One more thing, there was some rather loud aircraft flying occasionally overhead, one came over in the middle of the night.

    Thousand Trails Pacific City

    Best camping on the Oregon Coast

    Lots of options here. Tent sites and small cabins that are somewhat private. There are good bathrooms with showers on site, a sand volleyball court, a store, little wild bunnies running around, and great fire pits at each site. What more could you ask for!? The ocean is a 5 minute walk from the site and you can rent sandboards to ride down the dunes of Cape Kiwanda (it's a serious workout!). Not to be missed.

    Thousand Trails Seaside

    Very close to ammenaties

    The campground is split up into two sides. The north side and the south side. The north side has the getaway cabins, and cottages. It also has the pool/hot tub, cafe, group fire pit, kids play ground, and overflow parking. Pickleball/tennis courts. The north side is also the only side that has 50A power. The south side is all 30A. The tent sites are also on the north side. It gives access to all the amenities here. They took out the propane site, cause they didn’t have anyone to take care of it. We come down here to get away from the heat, inland, area. It’s usually 20-30 degrees cooler, than inland. So when the heat hits the valley, everyone runs to the coastline. So it can get crowded. You have to be careful with your kids. People don’t drive the speed limit. It’s 5mph. They drive like they are in the raceway. The Clatsop county beaches, have the best razor clam digging, in Oregon. On every minus tide, in the winter and spring, you have some of the best razor clams, this far south of Alaska. Usually from he first of October, to July 15th, all minus tides will expose the clam beds enough to walk out and get a delicious meal. Plus the Columbia River estuary is just 10 miles away. Which is the place of the world class Buoy #10 Salmon fishery, every August - October. Both Large Chinook Salmon, and the feisty smaller, Coho (silver) salmon. You also have fresh crabbing available in town, and behind the old high school, or drop a few pots while out salmon fishing, for a great fresh seafood meal.


Guide to Rockaway Beach

Rockaway Beach sits at an elevation of 20 feet above sea level on Oregon's northern coast, with average summer temperatures of 70°F and winter temperatures around 45°F. The area receives approximately 90 inches of annual rainfall, creating lush coastal forests surrounding camping areas. Most campgrounds maintain year-round accessibility with occasional winter closures due to weather conditions.

What to do

Beach exploration: Campers at Nehalem Bay State Park Campground can access miles of shoreline within walking distance from their sites. "Great dune area. Always horses riding on the beach too. Super neat experience," notes Jamie B. The park's coastal setting allows for beachcombing and wildlife viewing during lower tides.

Crabbing and fishing: Multiple areas allow for catching your own seafood near camping sites. "Nehalem Bay is beautiful, and it's just down the road from two jetties. My family and I went crabbing just a ways away from the state park, and it was a beautiful day and a lot of fun," shares Aaron R. Many visitors plan camping trips around crabbing seasons, with summer and fall offering optimal conditions.

Hiking trails: Tillamook State Forest Nehalem Falls Campground provides access to forested trails with varying difficulty levels. "The entire hike is a pretty easy and birding opportunities are many. Views of an old railroad/camp and plenty of spots to stop and take it all in as well as picnic," explains Deacon J. Most trails remain accessible year-round but can become muddy during rainy seasons.

What campers like

Privacy between sites: Many campers appreciate the natural buffers at Cape Lookout State Park Campground. "We love how much privacy is usually found between sites. For the most part, trees and bushes are substantial enough to make your site feel like you have your own sanctuary," shares Nathan R. This park maintains natural vegetation between many sites, though summer bookings require reservations months in advance.

Easy beach access: The proximity to shorelines ranks high among visitor preferences. "We were at loop D. Just a few minutes walk to the beach. Great campsite," mentions Karen L. about Nehalem Bay State Park. Most coastal campgrounds provide direct walking paths to beaches, eliminating the need for vehicle transportation during your stay.

Convenient facilities: Clean, accessible bathrooms and showers matter to campers seeking glamping experiences in Rockaway Beach, Oregon. "Free, very private showers! Soap in the bathrooms! Super nice and clean!" reports Kayla S. at Cape Lookout State Park. Many facilities offer hot water and electrical outlets, though some charge nominal fees for shower usage.

What you should know

Seasonal considerations: Weather patterns affect coastal camping experiences throughout the year. "We were fortunate enough to land a spot right by the water and it was amazing! The park is clean and very well maintained," notes Julie F. at Netarts Bay RV Park & Marina, though adding "we would probably come down more frequently and for longer stays if we had wi-fi as we both work remotely." Fall and spring visitors should prepare for unpredictable weather conditions.

Reservation requirements: Most popular campgrounds fill quickly, especially during summer. "We didn't have a reservation for the campground the afternoon we decided to stop in July. To reserve a yurt typically requires a minimum of two nights. We were fortunate to get a yurt (number 7) for one night in July as a walk in. The ranger was shocked as they are usually sold out months in advance," reports MomSolo about Fort Stevens State Park. Bookings often open 6-9 months in advance for prime sites.

Site spacing and privacy: Campsite layouts vary significantly between properties. "Campsites are fairly close together but we didn't mind! The campground was full for July 4 weekend, yet not too loud and facilities weren't crowded," shares Kayla S. about Wright's for Camping. Research site maps before booking to understand proximity to neighbors and bathrooms.

Tips for camping with families

Kid-friendly amenities: Many campgrounds cater specifically to family needs. "Good paved loop for kids to ride bikes. All stores are back in but there's a decent bit of room between stores, especially compared to some PNW coast campgrounds," mentions C M. about Nehalem Bay State Park. Several facilities maintain playgrounds, open fields, and bike-friendly paths for younger campers.

Educational opportunities: Fort Stevens State Park Campground offers historical sites alongside camping. "We brought the kids and expected to listen to their complaints the whole time, but they were intrigued by everything!" reports Cadie H. The park's military history provides learning opportunities beyond traditional outdoor recreation.

Unique accommodations: Alternative shelter options appeal to families seeking glamping near Rockaway Beach. "If you have a kid who loves history, the Oregon Trail, Little House on the Prairie, and dressing in character, this is your spot! Even during Covid! While the bathroom and shower set up are much to be desired, the covered wagons make up for it in every way!" explains Heather about Twins Ranch LLC. These specialized accommodations often cost $45-75 per night and require advance booking.

Tips from RVers

Site selection strategies: Experienced RV campers recommend researching site specifics before booking. "Spots 1-27 are the tightest I have ever seen, so try to avoid them. 52-58 are right on the Bay, and pretty sizable," advises Josh H. about Netarts Bay RV Park & Marina. Many parks publish site dimensions and features online for pre-booking research.

Hookup availability: Water and electrical connections vary between campgrounds and individual sites. "RV spots are separated from the tent sites, which is nice. Most of the tent sites are fairly open, some of them have more privacy, but all of them are very green and incredibly close to the beach while still being somewhat protected from the wind coming off of the ocean," shares Denny B. about Cape Lookout State Park. Full hookups typically cost $10-20 more than standard sites.

Dump station access: Not all campgrounds with RV sites provide dump stations. "No sewer hook up, so you had to use a dump station. Not a huge inconvenience," notes C M. about Nehalem Bay State Park. Many campgrounds publish specific dump station hours and locations on their websites or at check-in.
