Legend[ PROS ]
We came during offseason (November) and camped at this State Park for 3 nights. Man, it was so amazing. It was super quiet and empty so we felt like we had the entire park to ourselves.
A family of deer visited us every single morning/night during our stay. We definitely didn't try to interact with them, but they were comfortable to roam right around our site which was a really magical experience
Nehalem Bay is such a beautiful area and the State Park is nestled in lots of beautiful, lush greenery. There are lots of birds, plants, and other wildlife to observe. We loved hearing coyotes yapping in evenings from the campground.
It's very peaceful and serene here. It's right by the beach and an easy walk to the coast. We also got to visit Manzanita for a little day trip and had lunch out there. Such a cute little coastal town worth checking out.
Free hot showers and really nice restrooms. I'm starting to realize that Oregon State Parks are SOOO much superior to California State Parks. The amenities at all the Oregon campgrounds I've visited are wonderful. We definitely got spoiled by camping in Oregon that it will be hard going back home to California
Very close to stores, restaurants, and gas stations if you need to pick up supplies.

LegendHares Canyon Horse Camp is one of three campgrounds in Stub Stewart State Park and unlike other horse camps which often allow the overflow of tenters and rv'ers without horses, this horse camp is equestrian only.
The Campground is set up in one loop and offers both single and double sites, ADA facilities, showers, toilets, and trash. Each site has a picnic table, fire pit, and a corral. There is a double corral on the double sites.
You must clean up after your own horse. Manure bin as well as shovels/brooms are provided onsite.
In mid May, the sites were very wide open.
GuideI don’t have a horse but I still stayed here! We were in the area, struggling to find a place to camp. After 7 pm, the campground let us set up camp in an empty equestrian campsite. Unique experience!
GuideReally 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!
TravelerOne of our favorite Oregon SPs. In the middle of a mountainous forest with lots of hiking, paved path & mtb biking, disc golf, horse trails and more. Well maintained full hookup sites with 50amp, most 63' long. The park has recently renewed trail signage.
LegendWe had the campground to our self midweek. This is a wonderful campground far enough off the beaten path and being listed has a horse camp most likely keeps the crowds down. While this is a horse campground, only 8 of the sites are for horse campers, a small tent/RV camping loop of 3 sites is also available, but the parking pads are small so don't think most RVs will fit in the spots. Each campsite has a picnic table and metal fire ring. Nice flat ground for your tent with plenty of shade from the large trees. Campground has a hand pump for water. Dish wash stations are through out the campground for pouring out you dish water. The horse camp sites all have corrals for the horses. Nice hiking trail starts at the tent camping area, "Big Tree Trail" will take you past some monster sized trees. This will be a campground we return to the next time we visit Oregon

Top reasons I love this campground:
Product Review: As a Ranger for The Dyrt, occasionally I get to test products. At this campground, I tested Liquid I.V. Hydration Multiplier and the Liquid I.V. Sleep night time drink mix. I really liked both products. They are portable, have natural ingredients, taste good and I found them to be effective! Additionally, Liquid I.V. has an incredible social justice cause donating millions of their products to people around the world who are in need of proper hydration. I love that this is a company AND products I feel good about!
Pros:
**Cons: **
Overall, I give the product 4.5 stars
TravelerWe loved staying at Nehalem Bay State Park during spring break. We stayed at site A 21 for 3 nights. The weather was better than expected but very windy, which made the protection of the jetty and dunes very welcome. Very clean and well maintained campground and bath facilities. They did run out of firewood so you may consider bringing your own.
Our explanation took us north to Cannon Beach and south to Tillamook. A word of warning, the Tillamook factory can be a long wait, so long that we found a different place to eat. Highly recommend visiting The Blue Herron French Cheese and Bistro.
The bike trail is a wonderful easy ride. We used our 7 speeds with no trouble.
LegendWe've stayed at Nehalem Bay State Park several times and always enjoy it. In the past we have camped in our tent and we've also stayed in one of their cozy yurts. This time was a first for us because we stayed in one of their primitive horse camp sites in our van, and had the opportunity to ride horses on the beach! The campground has a ton of amenities and is located adjacent to the beach, bay and just minutes to Manzanita or Nehalem. Planning to return again soon!
Horse camping in Oregon offers a unique blend of scenic trails and equestrian-friendly amenities, making it a perfect getaway for riders and their horses.
