Best Glamping near Veneta, OR

The honeyman national park camp ground was very nice but if you want to glamp then it's definitely the place to go. But otherwise I would keep looking. All in all it was a great stay, near the ocean and lots of people.

For a small campground the deluxe yurts were huge. Much larger than the rustic yurts available in other Oregon State parks, the deluxe yurt had acres of space. The kitchen had an almost full sized fridge, a microwave, and a sink. The shower in the bathroom was not as nice as in the deluxe cabins elsewhere, but there was plenty of towel bars to dry all of your gear on. The small heater had a hard time heating all of the space. The large skylight had lovely star viewing when the clouds cleared. Since it was the middle of the week in February there was no noise from the surrounding ATV area, indeed, no ATVs around at all. The trail around tiny Lake Marie was well drained and not soggy, with several connections to the campground. Our yurt had views of the other yurts, try 19 for a view of the lake yet still dog friendly. The front porch did not offer any shelter from the rain.

My sister and I were road-tripping down the 101 of WA, OR, and CA and making it up as we went. After looking through a list of Oregon campgrounds/State Parks, we settled on Honeyman since it had yurts available and it was forecasted to be a rainy night. The yurt was great and well taken care of. The campground was fairly empty and our site was private, though that was likely because we visited in late November. I would love to go back and explore the dunes and surrounding area more. Great place for an overnight stay and a good alternative to soaking all of our gear before heading further south.

Beachside is great. The yurts are the perfect thing for winter or fall camping. We like to go in the winter and watch whales, and staying in a yurt is the perfect thing for the rainy season. Because the weatehr changes by the minute, you can walk on the beach, head back to the yurt during a downpour, and back out when it stops. If you get really cold, you can take a hot shower! Not a crowded feel, even when full. Lovely views.

You can walk to the dunes or hike around Lake Marie. Gorgeous plants, wildlife, and amazing mushrooms in November. I met a wild turkey by the lighthouse. The campground is a mix of tent and RV sites plus cabins and yurts. There is also a separate area with deluxe yurts. AT&T signal is strong so I was able to work from home during my whole stay, even with constant zoom meetings.

Jessie M. Honeyman is an Oregon State Park just a few miles south of Florence, Or.

We traveled in on a Wednesday at the beginning of June with friends, kids, and a canoe. We stayed through Saturday night and moved on up the coast to another site just outside of Newport. The park has a lot going for it -- especially if you have kids -- but it also has some deal-breaker drawbacks. As with a lot of other busy state parks, your experience will depend a lot on when you go, what site you book, and who happens to show up as your neighbors.

Pros: • Very close proximity to Lake Cleawox and the boat house / facilities there. You don't leave the park to go from the camp sites to the lake. At the boat house, you can rent paddle boats ($7 / 30 mins, $10 / hr), canoes, or kayaks. You can also rent sandboards and zoom down the dunes on the far side of the rental facility. The setup is awesome and looks like an idyllic version of everyone's summer camp - real or imagined. • Woahnik Lake, a much larger lake than Cleawox, is right across the street and offers a lot of options for more swimming, boating, and paddling. We saw two large groups of scuba divers while canoeing around the lake. • Sand dune access. You can literally ride an ATV or quad from your camping site to the dunes, because the camp is adjacent to the Oregon sand dunes. • Hot showers. • Super friendly rangers and staff. • Large play structure in the sand for kids. Same thing you'd find in a city, but it's a nice option. • Yurts. We stayed in #316. Staying in the yurts is a great all-weather option.

Cons: • Campsites - tents, yurts, RVs - are crammed in. Some areas don't have good tree coverage (the closer you get to the dunes), and are wide open. You can see and hear your neighbors, so good luck. • ATVs and quads. Because the site backs up to the dunes, it's ground zero for ATVs and quads. You hear them running at peak times on the weekend. The site attracts a lot of giant diesel trucks that idle through the camp site hauling their trailers, so it feels like you've set up camp right next to a trucker super highway.

Given how popular the spot is, the wildlife are very used to people, and you'll be marauded by cunning squirrels and chipmunks. Don't leave food out for a hot minute.

Don't stay in any site off the main branch to all the camping loops. Accessible yurt #404 is probably the best site in the entire campground.

We have stayed in a yurt and a cabin here with our kids and dog. It was perfect.

We visited this campground for the second time this past weekend and even in late October it is a fantastic location to go on the coast!

It has tent sites, RV pads cabins and is one of the few locations where delux yurts can be rented.

W stayed in a cabin last time, but that loop is closed for construction until 2019.

This time it was the delux yurt, which sleeps up to 9 people, has it's own bathroom with toilet, sink and shower, microwave, fridge, kitchen sink,TV, DVD player and heater that will cook you out if you want it to. Outside comes with a porch, picnic bench and 4 burner gas grill. Fantastic for group rental! We had 5 adults and it was a ton of space!

The yurts are just up the hill from the lake where you can go fishing and hike the approximately 1 mile long trail.

There is also a day use area with benches and a small sandy beach.

Lover this place!

rough it or not up to you. Yurts and full hookup sites as well as beautiful secluded tent sites. first come first serve showers potable water and real toilets.

Gorgeous. Well maintained campground. Close to beach. Popular site for families. Yurts get snatched up months in advance! They all have a magnificent view of the lake.

General: 54-site campground (plus a hiker/biker camp) that is a mix of water/electric sites, no hookup sites, cabins, yurts, and deluxe yurts. 

Site Quality: Camper pads are paved but most are not very long (I don’t remember when reserving if there was a length restriction, but I did not see any large Class As and doubt they would fit in any of the sites). Site desirability varies. We were lucky with Site 43 – foliage provided some privacy, and we had a view of Lake Marie from the back of our site. Most of the sites on the inside of the loop have no separation/privacy between them. 

Activities: There is a one-mile hilly trail around Lake Marie, and there is access to the dunes. We were last at this campground 30 years ago with our two young children and remember they had a great time playing in the dunes, however, if people with OHVs were out on the dunes (which is popular), it would not have been good for young children. After fire restrictions on all non-coastal campgrounds we have recently stayed at, fires were allowed, and wood sales were available from 2 p.m.– 8 p.m. 

This was an overnight stay for us as we made our way down the Oregon Coast, and we enjoyed our stay.

Camped here in May and managed to get one of the 2 Yurts available.

This is RIGHT ON 101  its a mere sliver of forest between 101 and the beach.

The yurt was amazing and at least kept the road noise to a miniumum.

The reason to come here is the magnificent almost empty beach..its breath taking great.

We strolled around the campground and it seemed to me they got it all wrong, they had the RV sites nearest the beach and furthest from 101..while the poor tenters were right up against the highway.

As a tenter there is no way i would stay here it would be unbearable without ear plugs, they should have the big RVs next to the road as tbhey dont hear a thing inside and the tents next to the beach.

But still a well maintained fanily campground with a beautiful empty beach

We stayed at site 76. The campground was big and a little to loud. There are yurts to stay in but you have to reserve them. There are no bugs but lots of crows which were loud. It wasn't the best but a nice quick spot to stay.

The hike and bike area is secluded and quiet, but it is also difficult to reach.  You must take a dirt trail that can be muddy and slick on rainy days. Nice clean restrooms and showers.  Campground can be loud at times from people coming for the nearby dunes. Campground has yurts.

Not reservable, full hookups, easy access. Walk from the campground to the generally deserted beach, hike the trail to Heceta Head, or kick back. Several camp hosts are always on site. Open all year. Large restrooms with showers. Yurts, hiker/biker area. Located between Cape Perpetua and Florence. The day-use area and dump station are across hwy 101 from the campground.

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

Washburne is located on the east side of Highway 101 with a buffer of native plants and trees between you and the highway. The campsites are spacious and are available on a first come first served basis except for the two yurts which are reservable. There are several trails of varying difficulty leading from the campsites to the beach, wildlife viewing areas, and second-growth forests.

A walking trail leads you under the highway to a five-mile sandy beach and a day-use area, where you'll find space to watch whales, hunt agates, beachcomb, and picnic. Another trail connects you to the Heceta Head trail, which you can use to reach the historic Heceta Head lighthouse.

In the campground at night, you can hear the pounding surf. There is a creek running through the campground, and elk have been known to wander through. Wild rhododendrons bloom in spring.

Universal Access

Site 30 is accessible to campers with disabilities.

It is about 2 miles from Florence right on Hwy 101. The yurts are nice. Dunes access is easy. The playground looks like it would be fun for kids. There was a car show in Florence that weekend. Your in a sandy area with lots of trees. As it got dark the wind picked up but it wasn't to bad. If your ADA you need to get a ADA space otherwise the bathrooms can be quite a walk. The trash cans are at the entrance. Very big camp park.

Great campground right on the beach. Fire pit, picnic table and easy access to water. Also close to the road - at least many tent sites are. But clean, close to Waldport and Yachats, and best of all Easy stroll to the beach. We had a whole little tent cul de sac to ourselves (site 31 I think). Could hear the waves of the ocean - and an occasional car- while going to sleep. There are two yurts that looked cool too, though one of them is kinda close to a neighboring private home.

This campground is so nice and well kept, each site is pretty private and the whole area is just beautiful.  Some sites have a bit of sun but most are in the shade.  Some of the sites were tight and we had to back in to the site very creatively and carefully in our 26ft class c.  I'd imagine some of the huge 5th wheels would have trouble managing in some of the sites.

Oregon State Parks now charge a 25% surcharge for RV spots (not tent sites) for non-Oregonions.  Sites are reservable on oregonstateparks.reserveamerica.com.  Those without reservations can take empty sites for one night at a time.

Some sites are electric and water only, and some are FHU for $3 more.  There are also hiker/biker sites at $8, and yurts (one is pet friendly for $10 more).

Free dump station and potable water across the hwy at the day use area.

They have recycling here, and they take glass, aluminum, tin, and paper, and empty propane bottles, but not plastic.

They have free showers and firewood for sale.

Zero cell service here with our Verizon and ATT phones.

I love Florence! Just 5 minutes away from old town for great coffee shop under the bridge and great margaritas at the travelers cove and gateway to the coast trails. This campground is great for bird, mushrooms, walks, even paddle bots at nearby cleowox lake. Rangers were helpful finding a spot for my needs: quiet tent site away from the crowd. It does get filled up on weekends with families and some sites more private than others so just ask to drive thru and pick your spot first. Yurts and hook ups available too. State park

Honeyman is a great campground.  It is quite large with at least half a dozen loops of campsites.  The sites include everything from basic campsite up to yurts.

There is a great playground near the center of camp and the nearby day use area has dune access for climbing and playing as well as a small lake.

Pre-pandemic it was possible to rent kayaks and paddleboats to use on the lake.  I don't know if that has opened back up yet or not.

We have been many times and look forward to another trip there later this year.

This place can get crowded in the 30-50 sites- but great rv sites out back, great bathrooms. Everything still lush and trees and great short hike to the beach. No phone service for me which was a nice break- great access to China loop and hobbit hike all the way to heceta lighthouse for rhododendron and coastal rainforest, huckleberry laden views. One of my favorite spots. Really private “wheel your stuff in” sites 70-75 with own parking lot for great solitude with all the amenities of a state park. Yurts also available but usually booked way in advance

The campground itself (sandwiched between the ocean and Highway 101) is nothing special. The sites are a bit tight and close together and although there is a fair amount of foliage, there is not a lot of privacy between the sites. Camper pads are paved, and some sites have electric and water hookups while others do not have hookups. Many of the camper pads have roots underneath the pavement. There are also a couple of yurts.

You will hear road noise during the day but at night when the traffic dies down, the roar of the ocean takes over! 

The bathrooms and showers were clean and had both soap and paper towels. 

BUT where this campground earns it five stars is the beach! It is long, wide, and flat - perfect for walking, and running, and although I did not see any bikers, I did see tire tracks. There is direct and easy access to this beach from the campground. I got in an invigorating run and then dragged my yoga mat to the beach – a great way to start the day. The footwash station was a great amenity. The sunsets were stunning!

Although we only spent one night here, I could easily have spent a week as I love the Oregon coast and this campground provided a great way to enjoy it.

People in other reviews say the sites aren’t so close they’re on top of each other- idk where they have stayed in other places but these sites are so close together that in my tent site I could make eye contact and hear everything other people were talking about. Even in the yurt- I could hear everyone around me, even hear other sites that were farther away- like full conversations. This campground has way too many sites- and with fees it still ends up being expensive at $27 a night for a tiny tent site. Loud, crowded, don’t stay here if you want peace and quiet. Good for families or groups I guess- as a solo traveler I definitely will not ever come back to this site.

Honeyman is a BIG campground. Sites are very close together and there are RVs and ATVs and road whales and dogs and kids everywhere. It's more like a change of scene than a place to get away from it all. It's not on the beach, but the beach is a short drive away. There are lots of sand dunes and a couple lakes. It's not quiet. If you don't mind the sound of dune buggies and barking dogs and generators and kids while you camp, you'll be fine. The nature activities offered for kids by the park rangers are the best part, in my opinion. You and your kids can learn a lot about the flora and fauna and the local area. It's kind of like scout camp, but with a bunch of people you don't know. The yurts are nice, and they fill up fast. I like that there are ADA accessible facilities and clean bathrooms.
