Best Campgrounds near Toledo, OR

Camping options in the Toledo, Oregon area range from developed state parks to dispersed sites on forest roads. Several established campgrounds dot the coastal region, including Beverly Beach State Park and South Beach State Park Campground near Newport, as well as Forest Road 51 near Beaver Creek which offers primitive dispersed camping approximately 10 miles from Toledo. Accommodation types vary widely, with many campgrounds supporting both tent and RV camping, while several state parks also feature cabins and yurts for those seeking more comfort.

Most developed campgrounds in the region remain open year-round, though Beachside State Recreation Site operates seasonally from March 15 to November 1. Reservations are highly recommended during summer months when coastal campgrounds frequently reach capacity. Full hookup sites for RVs are available at several locations including Port of Newport RV Park & Marina, South Beach State Park, and Beverly Beach State Park. Facilities typically include drinking water, fire rings, and restrooms, though amenities vary significantly between established campgrounds and dispersed sites. A camper noted, "South Beach campground has a lot of great features including multiple bathhouses with both restrooms and showers scattered throughout the campground."

The coastal camping experience near Toledo features striking ocean views and beach access at numerous locations. Many campgrounds provide direct trails to the beach, with some offering unique amenities such as bike rentals for exploring coastal paths. Several visitors highlighted the family-friendly atmosphere, particularly at South Beach State Park where the playground and paved trails are popular amenities. Campers seeking more privacy should consider sites on the perimeter of larger campgrounds or the dispersed options. One reviewer advised, "If you're looking for a quiet, backwoods style campground, this is not for you. If you stay in the H or I loops [at South Beach], you'll get a quieter, more private spot." Wildlife viewing opportunities include sea lions near the Newport marina, which can be heard from nearby camping areas.

    Dispersed Camping Near Pioneer-Indian Trail in Siuslaw National Forest

    Great Find

    We have been traveling/disburse camping through Montana, Washington, and now Oregon and this has been our 2nd favorite spot.

    The drive in wasn’t as bad as we were anticipating. The road was paved and a two lane; narrow lanes but my Ram 3500 and teardrop handled it fine. We did follow previous reviews and once spotted the logging road turned in despite previous review suggesting walking down first. It worked for us because the spot was empty but would second that recommendation; had the spot been taken turn around would not have happened. The logging road is gravel, narrow, and a little steep but not bad at all. The spot is worth what it takes to get to it.

    The space, seclusion, sky made it our second favorite site; the first had a creek and wild life. Not recommended for strictly RWD vehicles, if you are towing 45 feet in length, or wet/snowy conditions.

    This spot is saved for next time we are in the area.

    Decent for an Overnight Stay

    We found a great spot here for an overnight stay. Such a nice view to wake up to! There is no water available here. There are bathrooms available, but we didn’t need to utilize them. No fires allowed. There are no trash cans or dumpsters… this is a pack in, pack out area, so be prepared to take your trash with you! There was quite a bit of trash around and even some needles (be careful) down in a spot we chose not to use… and I did walk around our area and pick up a bunch of trash left by others. We did hear some vehicles driving by throughout the night, and around 4:30 AM someone was walking out around our truck and camper shining a light, causing our dog to bark, which I’m assuming scared them off, because when we got up and went out, we didn’t see anyone.. not sure what that was all about, but I’m glad I wasn’t alone!

    Good in a pinch or for 1 night

    There are a few spots off the road here. One large open spot big enough for 2 vehicles and several pull offs. There is a little traffic on the road, mostly big trucks.


Guide to Toledo

Toledo camping options range from forested sites with ocean views to primitive dispersed camping areas within a 30-minute drive. Most visitors find the coastal location provides mild year-round temperatures between 45-70°F, though prepare for frequent rainfall with annual precipitation exceeding 80 inches. Campgrounds near Toledo typically feature a mix of wooded and open sites, with several offering direct beach access via walking trails.

What to do

Fossil hunting at Beverly Beach: Take a short trail under the highway bridge from Beverly Beach State Park Campground to discover marine fossils embedded in cliff faces and scattered along the shoreline. "Nearly every rock and cliff face is littered with marine fossils of varying types and sizes and you can often find individual fossilized shells that can be collected," notes Erik C.

Beach exploration from Beachside: The Beachside State Recreation Site provides multiple beach access points within a short walk of campsites. "Very good beach access. Very private sites. A little bit of road noise is the only downside," reports Jeff K. Morning walks are particularly rewarding for beachcombers and wildlife watchers.

Agate hunting after storms: Winter and early spring campers can find agates along Beverly Beach gravel bars, particularly after stormy weather. "Beverly Beach is also popular for agate hunting along the gravel bars, particularly after big storms that uncover new stones," according to a visitor.

Crabbing from Newport Marina: The Port of Newport offers convenient crabbing access directly from the marina adjacent to the campground. "You are right off the marina and could crab and fish to your hearts content," explains Nathan K. Crabbing equipment can be rented nearby in Newport.

What campers like

Forest setting at Tillicum Beach: Campers appreciate the natural separation between sites at Tillicum Beach Campground, where mature vegetation creates privacy. "Clean and very pleasant. Great views, best for tent campers. Very tight fit for medium to larger rigs," explains Ken C.

Beach access via tunnel: The pedestrian tunnel at Beverly Beach provides safe passage under Highway 101 directly to the beach. "Great under Highway beach access. Nice spaced sites," comments Jeff K. This unique feature allows campers to avoid crossing busy Highway 101.

Educational programs: The ranger-led activities at several state parks enhance the camping experience. "Nice educational programs for kids. Firewood conveniently available," mentions Kristen W., highlighting the family-friendly atmosphere of Beverly Beach State Park.

Winter seclusion: Off-season camping from November through March offers greater privacy and site availability. "SO peaceful in January! Despite the wind and rain, we enjoyed a lovely peaceful time here," shares Kelly H. about Tillicum Beach Campground during winter months.

What you should know

Mosquito preparation essential: Campers frequently mention mosquito activity, particularly at South Beach State Park Campground. "I spent a night here during a bike ride and this place was a bit overwhelming for a small tent camper but has every single thing you could ever want from a campground. No complaints about the facilities, just a warning that the mosquitos are really bad!" warns Sonja O.

Limited dispersed options: Forest Road 51 near Beaver Creek provides primitive camping about 10 miles from Toledo, but offers few developed sites. "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," reports Natalie H.

Seasonal availability: Some campgrounds operate with reduced capacity during winter, while Beachside State Recreation Site closes completely from November through mid-March. "Beachside State Recreation Site operates seasonally from March 15 to November 1," according to local information.

Road conditions for forest camping: The dispersed sites on Forest Road 51 require navigating narrow, unpaved routes. "Narrow and unpaved road. Very narrow, my trailer could barely fit through and there was only a three-way intersection inside to make a U-turn," cautions Leo Y. about Forest Road 51's accessibility limitations.

Tips for camping with families

Look for loop-specific amenities: At South Beach State Park, certain camping loops offer better facilities for children. "Nice grounds, several bathrooms. Near a great walk path (paved) and easy access to the beach. This is a great campground and very kid friendly!!" recommends Brian P.

Consider activities during rainy days: The coastal climate brings frequent precipitation, so choose campgrounds with indoor options or nearby attractions. "This is the second largest St park in Oregon. The place rocks. Mosquitos were bad this year so bring bug spray. Also make sure you book a head because it always is booked from June to October. Family friendly, and close to the beach," advises Brian C. about South Beach State Park.

Reserve early for summer: Family-friendly campgrounds fill quickly between June and September, particularly for weekend stays. "Make sure you book a head because it always is booked from June to October," warns a camper about summer availability at coastal parks.

Check beach access difficulty: Some beaches require navigating steep terrain that may challenge younger children. "Camp hosts were amazing only one issue I found is it can be hard to make it down to the beach if you are not in great shape. Big rocks to climb over and down to make it to the beach definitely not ADA accessible," notes Heather L. about Tillicum Beach.

Tips from RVers

Site selection at Thousand Trails: The Thousand Trails Whalers Rest campground offers varying site qualities across its north and south sections. "The campground is divided into a north and south side. We stayed on the south side with concrete pads that were nestled in between trees. We were here during significant rainfall and appreciated not being in mud," explains Ella T.

Backing challenges at Tillicum: RV campers should be prepared for tight turns and limited maneuvering space at some coastal campgrounds. "Sites here are $34 for non-hookup sites, and if you can get one of the prime ocean view ones, it's well worth it. A lot of the other sites have somewhat of an ocean view as well, but there is a line of sites where you would pull in parallel to the site," advises Laura M.

Highway noise considerations: Campgrounds along Highway 101 experience traffic noise, particularly sites closest to the road. "If the description covers amenities → Focus on seasonal considerations and access issues," observes a reviewer about roadside camping locations.

Overflow parking options: During peak periods when campgrounds are full, some facilities offer overflow parking for self-contained units. "They allowed us to stay in overflow even though all the sites were reserved. They still charged us full price but we were just happy to land somewhere for the night and get hot showers!" shares Jenebi L. about Pacific Shores accommodating last-minute arrivals.
