  Evergreen Court & Trailer Park

  Ok

  This is a very nice campground with lots of greenery. There are mostly RV spots with 8 tent sites available. Prices are ok for tent camping $28/ site. It’s a family friendly campground with close proximity to the beach and a descent bathroom and shower.

  Paradise Cove RV Resort & Marina

  Just OK tent camping

  There’s only one bathroom on the side of the campground where there’s tent camping and it’s about a 7 min walk from tent sites (though the bathroom was clean). Not ideal if you need to go in the middle of the night. There were few other tent campers. Our site was the biggest so we picked it but there was some trash in it when we got there. Otherwise, staff was friendly. Campgrounds overall were well maintained.

  Cape Disappointment State Park Campground

  This place has it all

  Cape Disappointment is a great spot for campers of all kinds. There are RV hook ups, tent sites, hiker/ biker spots, cabins, and yurts. Very easy access to the water as well.

  The yurts are your basic state park round dome with sleeping arrangements for up to 5 people. It has a table, chairs, and indoor heat.

  Each site has a picnic table and fire ring. There is a park store that has basic essentials and the ability to buy wood.

  During the spring, the wind can be pretty intense so beware if you are tent camping.

  Dairy Creek East - L L Stub Stewart State Park — L.L. Stub Stewart State Park

  A Pretty Boring Campsite at a Great Park

  The Dairy Creek Campground at Stub Stewart is a two loop campground. The sites are spacious, but there isn't much character.  The East loop is pretty much an open field. The west loop has a few more trees but still not much privacy or space between sites. 

  Dairy Creek is clean and well maintained, and has great access to the trails and disc golf around the park. If you're in an RV this is a good set up. If you're camping with kids, there's a play area here.

  There are a few "walk in" sites where you don't park your car next to your tent, but rather in the parking lot next to the grassy area where the open tent sites are. If you're looking for a better tent camping experience that actually feels like it's in the woods, you're better off going to the hike in campground in the park.

  The loops are big and there is parking near the bathroom. This is great if you don't want to walk a long way, but it's bad if you've got the campsite near the bathroom with all the cars coming and going.

  Astoria-Warrenton-Seaside KOA

  Consistent

  Every time we come here, we know exactly what to expect. Always clean, hasn’t been too crowded when we come and they allow most dogs. (Depending on the breed). Not too far from seaside where there’s plenty of fun to go and have.

  Bruceport County Park

  Nice Spot

  Nice little spot. Free hot showers. $20 for a tent site. Some of the tent sites to choose from were really small or not level but we got lucky with what we thought was the best site (B-10)

  Astoria-Warrenton-Seaside KOA

  Sites well-maintained

  Sites are well maintained. The tent sites are not drive up, however they could have easily made this possibly, it just makes camping more inconvenient if you are not intending to backpack/hike to your site. The spigot could have easily been placed closer to the sites as well, but is at the parking area a small hike up the hill from the tent sites. The tent sites have wooden platforms which is nice as far as flat surface goes, however wood is harder than the ground would be, so camping pads/air mattresses etc are definitely necessary. Amenities are well-maintained and included in the cost of your site which is nice.

  Cape Lookout State Park Campground

  All Around Great

  This was my first visit to Cape Lookout, or camping on the Oregon coast, for that matter. The RV sites 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.

  Bathrooms were relatively clean, though you always have someone emptying all of their camp trash in the bathroom trash can (pizza boxes? Really?) so it's hard to keep up. Staff were knowledgeable and helpful. 

  A truly beautiful place.

  Camp Wilkerson

  Stayed with the Scouts

  We stayed here as part of a camping trip for my son's cubscout troop. It seemed like a moderately used small campground at the time. My visit was a year ago. They have a large shelter used for weddings. Adirondacks that didn't seem used much, a tent camping area and cabins. We tent camped. They also have restrooms that have since been updated since my initial visit. It's a decent basic campground with a small stream running through it.

  Tillamook State Forest Nehalem Falls Campground

  Nice quiet camping next to a river

  This is Nehalem Falls Campground, site T3. It's one of six walk-in tent sites at this campground in the Tillamook National Forest. You park the car about 50 feet away and bring your gear in. The campground also has about ten car camping sites and two group sites (the only ones that can be reserved). The tent sites are very private and right on the Nehalem River which is warm enough to swim in.

  Kampers West RV Park

  Clam digging camping!

  We’ve stayed here many times and if you’re planning to fish, crab, or dig clams at the coast this is the best place! They have a wonderful cleaning station, clean hot showers and RV and tent sites as well as a few small cabins. The tent sites are all on grass and back up to a stream. They even have a little camp store where we bought flour and seasonings to fry our clams at camp!

  Cape Lookout State Park Campground

  Lush Forest, Gorgeous Beach, Beautiful Hiking

  Consider choosing a campsite in the wooded areas.  The sites near the ocean are in the hot sun.  Full hookups Of course are nice, even if you are in a tent.  Restrooms have running water and we’re kept very clean by the park staff.  We camped in a tent in August, but it was still quite cold at night.  A lack of privacy bothered us, but we were gone most of the day.  Lots of folks riding bikes, flying kites, walking on the beautiful trails on Cape Lookout.  We definitely will go back again.

  Cape Lookout State Park Campground

  Oregon state park campground near the Pacific Ocean

  We happened to be on the Oregon Coast on a Friday night during nice spring weather. The website said there were still a few sites left so we drove there to secure one. It is best to reserve a site but we never do so you can still get a site the day of if you don’t have a reserved site and there are unclaimed sites.

  Our site was 65, a tent site, in the full sun near the bathrooms. There are bushes that obscure your next door neighbors but you can see the ones across the road. We could hear the roar of the ocean but it lulled us to sleep. There are trails to the sandy beach.

  We paid $21 for a tent site during the off season.

  Fort Stevens State Park Campground

  OMG, how could you possibly go wrong?

  By far, the most excellent Oregon coast campground. You really couldn't ask for more. Absolutely excellent facilities; flush toilets, hot showers, 7 miles of bicycle trails, geocaching, hiking, razor claiming, beach combing. Have both RVd and tent camped here since 2004. Zero complaints! Yurts, cabins, tent and RV sites. It's absolutely huge. The beach, a large beautiful lake stocked with trout, hiking. You really can't go wrong. Highly recommend Fort stevens.

  Nehalem Bay State Park Campground

  Peaceful

  Tent camping. Made reservation for my visit as it's a popular place. Quiet, paved parking pads so look at site photos to see if enough room for your tent size. Be ready to climb the dunes for a breathtaking view

  Great spot

  Went in late June and the campground was practically empty. Pretty good size tent camping spots. Right next to a cliff looking over the water. Sort of far from any town but beautiful spot

  Sea Ranch Resort

  Great spot to stay in Cannon Beach

  This is a great campground to stay at if you’re visiting Cannon Beach and nicely centrally located along the coast to visit the surrounding areas. You can walk into town (2.5 blocks) and the spaces are very green with picnic tables at each. Good size spots, not super spacious but good size flat spaces. There are RV(12’-40’)/Tent sites as well as various size cabins. They also have a general store and coffee bar. During the summer they have various horse 🐴 rides along the beach including night rides.

  Full Hook-Up $62.00/night Water and Electric $57.00/night Tent Site $45.00/night Small Park Cabins $105.00/night (sleeps 2) Large Park Cabins $120.00/night (sleeps 3)

  Very nice

  Full hook ups (30 amp only) and tent sites. Dog friendly. Beach access. Super friendly hosts. No beach view. Sites need to be re-sized, nobody wants fire pits under their awning.

  L.L. Stub Stewart State Park Campground

  Closest campsite to Portland

  Went tent camping. Was expecting a bit more of a campsite, but it was just a big field with everybody together. No privacy or trees even blocking other campsites. Not suitable for more than 1 tent or groups. Bathrooms okay, and water was close so thats a plus. Would only stay again if desperate.
