Best Dog-Friendly Camping near Tillamook, OR

1,100 Reviews

Cape Lookout State Park Campground welcomes pets in tent sites, RV spots, cabins, and yurts. Eight pet-friendly campgrounds near Tillamook maintain specific pet policies, with most requiring dogs to remain on leash at all times. Barview Jetty County Campground, Nehalem Bay State Park, and Netarts Bay RV Park & Marina all provide designated pet areas where dogs can stretch their legs after traveling. Twins Ranch LLC offers a unique camping experience with covered wagons that sleep four and accommodate pets, making it popular with families. Jones Creek in Tillamook State Forest provides more primitive camping options for those traveling with dogs. The Blue Heron Cheese Factory allows self-contained RVs and vans to park overnight with pets in their spacious field, though tents are not permitted and campers must check in at the front desk for a parking pass.

Tillamook's coastal location provides excellent opportunities for dog-friendly beach access within short driving distance of most campgrounds. The large field at Blue Heron Cheese Factory gives pets plenty of room to stretch their legs while staying contained near their owners' vehicles. Harborview Inn and RV Park offers convenient pet-friendly accommodations close to Garibaldi's fishing opportunities. Most campgrounds provide basic pet amenities including waste disposal stations, though pet owners should bring their own supplies. Tillamook Bay City RV Park maintains a convenient location for accessing both coastal beaches and inland forest trails suitable for dog walking. Highway noise can be considerable at some locations like Misty River RV Park, which may affect pets sensitive to traffic sounds. No breed restrictions were mentioned in reviews, but campers should confirm specific pet policies when making reservations.

    Trask River County Park

    Private and Peaceful

    Trask River Campground is 20 minutes away from Tillamook. There is not a lot of service around the area going to Tillamook so go straight to Tillamook town center and start your GPS for accurate directions (or until you get good service). You will have no service whatsoever up at the campground but that’s what camping is for, to enjoy your time outdoors! You might as well get all of your needs in town before you head up, Safeway in Tillamook has bundles of wood for $5.99, for two nights we used 4 bundles (they come with fire starter kits).

    There is no showers or sinks but there is multiple “vault” toilets around the campground. For clean water there is multiple pumps around the campsite, bring your own soap.

    Nice swing set and grassy areas for kids or pets to run around. If you’re lucky enough you will wake up to elk grazing in the grassy areas.

    There is a main road in between the campgrounds since sites go from A-C. People fly up and down that road at 50+ MPH so watch your kids and pets.

    Multiple trails and cool things to see around the campground! Enjoy!

    Tillamook Bay City RV Park

    Basic, Clean. Good Location.

    I'm not a fan of drive-through/parking-lot-type RV parks, preferring national parks with lots of trees, but this place is nice, basic, friendly, and most of all clean. There's also some nice tent spots on grass/slightly under trees. A great location when you can't find more of a campground. The showers take quarters, which is a bit of a bummer, but overall just fine for a night or two. The location is great. Across the road from the beach, about a mile from Bay City and 5 from Tillamook.

    Elk Creek Campground

    My New Favorite Campground in Oregon. Tent-Only on a Beautiful Creek.

    This is my new absolutely favorite Oregon campground. Located within the Tillamook State Forest, Elk Creek campground has about a dozen or so sites located on a slight incline heading down to where the sweet, beautiful little Elk creek and the larger Wilson River converge. The sites are decent size though not huge, and are surrounded by beautiful trees, ferns and greenery. Some sites have more privacy, and since it is first come-first served, obviously best to get here early or before the weekend to snag a spot (which are only $10/night). We spent most of our time on the Elk Creek side since we have kiddos and the stream was the perfect size for playing and swimming without the stress of a larger river.

    Pros: Beautiful. Fun creek for kids to play in. Great location only 28 miles from Tillamook. Love the sites and price ($10).

    Cons: Walk-in only, which is great if you're in a tent, but out-of-luck if you're in a trailer or RV. Elk Creek is also day-use, so people heading to the creek or river will be walking by your site all day (though not too crowded when we were there).

    Facilities: Two vault bathrooms (decently clean) but no showers. Fire pits. New picnic tables. Hand-pump water.

    Keenig Creek Campground

    Small campground, no reservations

    The Keenig Creek Campground to me was pretty average. They don't take reservations, which can be a good or bad thing. If you are a planner, not being able to make reservations would probably be hard for someone like that. Some downsides to Keenig Creek Campground:

    1. No potable water- luckily my family and I brought enough water!! We planned to do some hiking, so we definitely brought enough water to last us the weekend. Highly recommend buying jugs of water.
    2. No electrical hookups- We were planning to bring our smaller RV, but found out they didn't have electrical hookups. We just brought tents, instead.
    3. Fire pit does not have a grate over it, so I would highly recommend bringing your own grate to cook on.
    4. Hard to get to the river. You definitely have to go up/down a trail to get to it. It rained the night before, so the path was pretty muddy.
    5. Don't choose a campsite close to the highway...you will hear every car/truck that goes by! My advice would be to get as close as you can to the river. You cant hear anything.

    Positives about Keenig Creek Campground:

    1. Cheap- it was only $10 a night! Definitely a cheap adventure weekend.
    2. The campsites are shaded which is great during the summer months.
    3. Clean bathrooms. This was a shock to me, so I was pleasantly surprised!!
    4. Only 20 miles from Tillamook if you want to do some exploring or shopping.

    Overall, I did like this campground but there really wasn't anything special about it. Just your average campground.

    Hebo Lake Campground

    My favorite place

    My absolute favorite place to camp in Oregon!!!! Always clean, quite, peaceful, and just perfect!!!! The fishing is always great and when the onshore flow comes over the trees, it's nothing short of a miracle and magic.

    Nehalem Bay State Park Campground

    Busy

    We liked the location and the access to the beaches, however it was very crowded. We have dogs, but walking them was a bit difficult. There were so many pets and people it was hard to enjoy our walks.

    Dairy Creek West — L.L. Stub Stewart Memorial State Park

    spacious sites and good hiking

    We stayed here for about 5 days while we tested out our new trailer prior to a longer cross country trip. We are from Portland and this is a short drive from home.

    Sites here are spacious and have picnic tables and firepits. We had room for our 28 foot trailer plus 2 pickups (extra charge for extra vehicle though).

    Shower facilities were ok - typical campground facilities in my opinion, but at least it was an actual toilet and hot water in the showers.

    Not a ton of privacy at each site, but got some shade during each day and plenty of space to stretch out and cook/eat outside or just sit and chill.

    There are miles of hiking trails that are family friendly and the dog park has one of the best views I've ever seen from a dog park.

    The camp host we met was super friendly and very helpful. They sell firewood and ice every evening.
