Best Campgrounds near Seaside, OR
The small beach town of Seaside, Oregon has several good camping options that put you close to the ocean. Seaside City Park Campground sits near the beach and tends to fill up with families during summer weekends. A few miles out of town, Seaside Area State Park has camping spots under tall trees with decent spacing between sites. If you don't mind going without showers, the National Forest Sites around Seaside give you more basic camping with fewer people around. The Seaside Recreation Area works for both tents and RVs, though the RV section can get crowded in July and August. Many campers like Seaside County Park Campground because the sites are bigger and you can walk to most of the town attractions. The weather stays pretty mild in summer – usually in the 60s and 70s – but bring rain gear if you camp in fall or winter when it gets wet. Some of these places shut down from October through April, so call ahead if you're planning an off-season trip. Both tent and RV campers have good choices here, though summer weekends book up fast. Don't forget a warm layer even in summer – the coast gets cool at night.
