Tillamook State Forest Dispersed Camping
Great views & secluded
Great little spot. Watch your GPS and use some dead reckoning with the topographic map. There is a little side road that gets a bit narrow and then opens into a beautiful spot.
Picked up a small bag of someone else’s trash. Don’t leave trash in the woods — pick up after yourself
Road is fine and easy. AWD is nice but isn’t necessary if the road is fairly dry.

Silver Falls State Park Campground
Magical!
What can I say? Silver Falls is a magical place and everyone should experience it. You can just get lost in the beauty of it all. The cabins are small but comfortable with heat, lights, and beds. Covered porch is nice to sit and listen to the rain.

Anderson Park
Looks like long termers, cluttered, run down
I had researched this park quite awhile beforehand and was interested based on the reviews posted here. It looked pretty nice. Unfortunately when we were able to preview it by driving through I was surprised to find out it was not at all what I had seen in reviews. This place is on the edge of a small town and it looks like it is occupied by long term tenants with a lot of paraphernalia and personal belongings strewn about. For us, traveling for vacation and sightseeing it would not be a place we'd wanna stay. We did have dinner and really enjoyed it in the little town of Vernonia where it is located and that was great. The park is also adjacent to a fantastic walking biking trail and it's next to a city park.

Threatening and know it all owner
I was contacted by the company who owns this site. Automatically the individual had threatening words to me as in, you need to go buy a tent now. We have the right to remove you from premises right now. Terrible customer service, and after spending money for the service they provide. They will just take away everything from you and kick you off the princess. The owner also likes to redefine what objects and vehicles are. Also, like to redefine vocabulary words. I would stay away from this place due to helter-kelter atmosphere.

Hebo Lake Campground
Favorite Place to Get Away
This is my favorite place to get away with my two daughters. The sites are well spaced with a lot of plant life between them to provide some privacy. There is a path that goes around the small lake, and if you time it right the fishing is great.

Scenic overlook to park at
I just came across this spot off a fire road going up the mountain from cook creek campgrounds

Mt Hood Village Resort
Great Location!!
I really wanted to give 5 stars, but they have far too many permanent residents, which makes the campground look un-kept. The grounds were ok, bathrooms were clean, price was fair, large spaces , and very good customer service.

Mt Hebo Lake Dispersed Campsite
One free spot across from lake
One spot with its own driveway. A nice flat and private spot. A legit pack in pack out spot. Too bad there is trash everywhere and a big puddle on one side. If you have a rake and shovel then may be a good one day or 14 day spot after a few hours of TLC. Nice trails for walking.

Mt Hebo Horse Trail Dispersed CampSite
Camp across from Horse Trailhead
Coordinates 45.230277,-123.777780. Across street from Horse Trailhead about half way up Mt Hebo. A good flat spot with nice trails around. Too much trash and glass left at the site though.

Tillamook State Forest Dispersed Camping
Not ideal spot and challenging road
Diamond Milld rd is a tight logging rd with a kinda steep danger zone cliff on this edge. If you get to spot (the coordinates on dyrt arent exact but close) you will see basically the only part of the rd with a pull aside areai prob for two vans or cars. Its a nice view but kinda creepy if alone IMO. The dispersed camping for this St Forest applies to tenters mainly being 1 mile away from a paid campground. But for just car and van camp youd have to chance it at day area or drive way in to the forest down a rd.

Siuslaw National Forest Dispersed Camping
Fee Area but close to other Siuslaw areas
This is a fee area. Have to look really hard this far north in Siuslaw to find a Frst Rd. Just go to Mt Hebo or back to Tili St Forest. Other that most of this north shore OR coast is tough. If anyone has coordinates for their spot Im sure its a valuable share but maybe a keepee.

Paradise Point State Park Campground
Nice campground, interstate noise
The campground itself is nice, but there's the near constant hum of interstate I-5 traffic less than a hundred yards away.
Lauren M.Scout
Cougar Mountain Siuslaw National Forest Dispersed Campsite
Nice area to dispersed camping
We set up camp next to an old logging area, gave us the opportunity to have a clear view of the sunset. The area we wanted to go was blocked by a huge log, that kept us on NF property but we still enjoyed the view from where we were.

Great location
Great location as it is across the street from the beach. It is as simple as the other two next to it and half the price! Bathrooms are clean and showers are decent. Nice helpful camp host.

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 🤷♂️

Elk Creek Campground
Great chill spot
The campground itself was kept very clean and each site has basically zero trace left at it. There’s a creek and a few fun trails to explore as well

Molalla Ripple
Space was overbooked
Jim did a great job of communicating and was attentive to all the campers, but they ended up overbooked so we were moved away from the river and into an open field. With no hookups and lacking riverfront, the night seemed over-priced. With van life on site and a full campground, it didn’t have the quiet feel we expected.
- CChristopher N.Guide
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.

Beautiful!
Right on the Molalla river. Great campground. Vault toilets aren’t great, but they are useable. The water pump has bacteria warnings so bring plenty of water.
