Best Campgrounds near South Beach, OR

A nice place to camp sites are good size semi private. Easy access to the nature trails and to the beach. We seen stellar jays and a woodpecker. Bathrooms and showers were clean.

There is almost nowhere to stay in the Newport/Oregon Coast areas, so this spot was a life saver! After you hit the dirt road, there are a few good but smaller pull off spots and a few bigger ones. Very quiet. So far, no one has bothered me, and I've only seen 1 car go past.

This is a beautiful campground between two popular towns on the Oregon Coast - Depoe Bay and Newport.  The geology here is amazing - you can have a load of fun looking for fossilized shells and agates at the beach.  The campsites are set among old trees - and are pretty private.  The prime spots along the creek are hard to get so plan ahead.  I always camp in the F circle so I have not had issues with highway noise - but some sites are a little close to the road.  Only 10 miles north of Yaquina Head natural reserve - and the city of Newport.  Great people - happy to help you with firewood and ice and any info about the area. Oregon State Parks do it right!

Stayed here two nights at the spot right at the intersection of the two roads. Views of the forest were sweet, and it was a really nice and spacious spot.

I only saw two spots in this is area up here so get here early and you should get a spot.

No service on the drive up but had a couple bars at my campsite. Beaver creek area was really cool, but the main trail was flooded out when I visited. I did see about 5 beavers close to the road though, so that was sweet.

By far one of my favorite campsites I’ve been to, highly recommend.

Only little pull offs that I found. Drove pretty deep into the forest and found a dead end spur. When back tracking the next morning I saw a few other campers camping close to where your gps will take you. This was a week day. Probably busier on the weekend.

Had cell service. Was a nice drive in. A lot of trash and shooting debris. Good for a quick night.

I'm camping in an EV and was glad to find this spot with 50 amp hookup, which was more power than I needed to fully charge my car while I slept.

Site was very private. Campground was quiet. Host was friendly and helpful. Bathroom was clean. Nice short hike that went under Highway 101.

We showed up without a reservation in mid March on a Friday and did not have a problem getting a spot. It was very windy and rainy so that probably worked to our advantage. Volunteer Martha was super friendly and helpful in suggesting the best spot available. The grounds were meticulously maintained and the design of the park was exceptional…lots of trees and greenery that provides privacy for each site. It didn’t feel like you were crowded in the least. The park sits up on a bluff overlooking the ocean but most sites are tucked into the tree that provided us with shelter from the wind. A short 10minute walk down the paved street brings you to the water’s edge and there are trails you can walk through with your pooches.

For $40, you get full hookup, great location and a well cared for place to relax.

This place is beautiful. Many if not most of the campsites are nestled between large trees, which gives them some privacy. Short walk to the beach and nature trails. Nice educational programs for kids. Firewood conveniently available.

This spot requires a good climb up Mt Hebo. The road is paved but quite narrow in places. We came up in the dark and had to take it pretty slowly around the turns.

Once we got to the spot we actually thought the large pull off was it until we saw the logging road that curves downward. Follow that road down in a C shape to a large open, flat area.

This is a wicked spot. Secluded and tucked into the trees. Might be hard for some folks towing a trailer but for our truck camper it was an easy fit.

We stayed 5 nights and had a great time. Campground was clean and so were the restrooms. Lots of campground hosts if you have a problem but otherwise they leave you alone.

I had such a nice time at this campground. We went in the off season (in the winter) so the campground didn’t have many people staying- most being in RVs and us in a yurt. I have a toddler and it ended up being so helpful with the weather being a bit rainy and getting some creature comforts while still enjoying nature.

The yurt comes with a bunk bed (top a twin and bottom maybe a full size), pull out couch, small table with 2 chairs and a heater. Our location was conveniently located near the bathroom which made for night bathroom visits easier. The bathroom is also very clean with multiple stalls and showers (push button but not coin operated).

The campground had a playground for kids, a small free library and ranger station with a couple of souvenirs of the area. The campground offers firewood to buy and extra ice.

The campground is located near the dunes, not far from the city with grocery stores if you forget something, it’s not a far drive from Seal Rock, and the lighthouse.

Overall we loved it. Wish I had an extra booked night to really get the most of the location

Had a great time here secluded treasure in the middle of the city only dislike was having to get a code to the shower room other than that highly recommend

We loved staying here! Beautiful beach that is lovely at sunset and sunrise. Helpful and friendly hosts. Sites fairly close but didnt feel bothered by it.

Horse Creek is a great site for horse camping. Only two sites are for non-stock campers. The camp has no water or any hook ups but the corrals are pretty good except they can get muddy if manure is not carefully picked out. 

The horse water trough is a short walk away from camp but does not have potable water. If users are not careful it can drain or not be usable so bring horse water. 

The trails are wonderful!! But hilly so make sure your horse is fit or you are willing to take it easy. Many of the original overlooks are starting to be grown in but the forest is amazing!

This was a gem that I wish we had an extra night to stay at. Spot 62 had a secret access to the beach that looks to be one of two away from the general access. Water and electricity hookups with grey water dumps throughout park. Restrooms and showers were available and the camp host has firewood for sale between 5-7pm. Peaceful morning walk on the beach.
