There’s only one bathroom on the side of the campground where there’s tent camping and it’s about a 7 min walk from tent sites (though the bathroom was clean). Not ideal if you need to go in the middle of the night. There were few other tent campers. Our site was the biggest so we picked it but there was some trash in it when we got there. Otherwise, staff was friendly. Campgrounds overall were well maintained.

This is a cute little resort that is great for RV's and Fishing. I would not recommend this campground for tent camping. The Tent sites are open, sloped grass with no seperation between sights and no privacy(think grass parking lot). They are also located RIGHT next to the highway. The lake is beautiful and the staff are very friendly so I'm sure with the proper site and inside and RV to shield you from the road noise you could have a pleasant stay here.

We tent camped at a drive-in site (8) in October 2020 and loved our experience. The whole campground felt small and peaceful, the tent sites were well spaced and surrounded by trees. It seemed to be popular with families and there were quite a few kids riding their bikes around the loop. The walk around the lake was beautiful and quiet - we did not pass many people at all.
I think next time we’ll try the walk-in sites for the privacy and the above view of the lake.
Would recommend, absolutely.

The Dairy Creek Campground at Stub Stewart is a two loop campground. The sites are spacious, but there isn't much character. The East loop is pretty much an open field. The west loop has a few more trees but still not much privacy or space between sites.
Dairy Creek is clean and well maintained, and has great access to the trails and disc golf around the park. If you're in an RV this is a good set up. If you're camping with kids, there's a play area here.
There are a few "walk in" sites where you don't park your car next to your tent, but rather in the parking lot next to the grassy area where the open tent sites are. If you're looking for a better tent camping experience that actually feels like it's in the woods, you're better off going to the hike in campground in the park.
The loops are big and there is parking near the bathroom. This is great if you don't want to walk a long way, but it's bad if you've got the campsite near the bathroom with all the cars coming and going.

We stayed here as part of a camping trip for my son's cubscout troop. It seemed like a moderately used small campground at the time. My visit was a year ago. They have a large shelter used for weddings. Adirondacks that didn't seem used much, a tent camping area and cabins. We tent camped. They also have restrooms that have since been updated since my initial visit. It's a decent basic campground with a small stream running through it.

Always tent sites.

Sites are well maintained. The tent sites are not drive up, however they could have easily made this possibly, it just makes camping more inconvenient if you are not intending to backpack/hike to your site. The spigot could have easily been placed closer to the sites as well, but is at the parking area a small hike up the hill from the tent sites. The tent sites have wooden platforms which is nice as far as flat surface goes, however wood is harder than the ground would be, so camping pads/air mattresses etc are definitely necessary. Amenities are well-maintained and included in the cost of your site which is nice.

Nice little campground. Sites are a little uneven for tent camping. Clean beach but very cold water.

This is Nehalem Falls Campground, site T3. It's one of six walk-in tent sites at this campground in the Tillamook National Forest. You park the car about 50 feet away and bring your gear in. The campground also has about ten car camping sites and two group sites (the only ones that can be reserved). The tent sites are very private and right on the Nehalem River which is warm enough to swim in.
ScoutFriendly enough owner. Showers and bathroom needs updated. Have to pay for showers. Nice field for tent camping and creek in the back.

We’ve stayed here many times and if you’re planning to fish, crab, or dig clams at the coast this is the best place! They have a wonderful cleaning station, clean hot showers and RV and tent sites as well as a few small cabins. The tent sites are all on grass and back up to a stream. They even have a little camp store where we bought flour and seasonings to fry our clams at camp!
GuideBeautiful area, very quiet, walk in tent sites were easy access, host was lovely.

Camped in tent site near beach then had to move to rv site
Traveler
By far, the most excellent Oregon coast campground. You really couldn't ask for more. Absolutely excellent facilities; flush toilets, hot showers, 7 miles of bicycle trails, geocaching, hiking, razor claiming, beach combing. Have both RVd and tent camped here since 2004. Zero complaints! Yurts, cabins, tent and RV sites. It's absolutely huge. The beach, a large beautiful lake stocked with trout, hiking. You really can't go wrong. Highly recommend Fort stevens.
Traveler
Tent camping. Made reservation for my visit as it's a popular place. Quiet, paved parking pads so look at site photos to see if enough room for your tent size. Be ready to climb the dunes for a breathtaking view
LegendThe campsites are spread out and private. There are tent sites, RV sites, and cabins. Quiet lake with two trails around it.
Guide
This location was convenient for what I needed in a pinch! First come sites available late at night. Tent site was small but workable.
Scout
Beautiful access to the beach. Large tent sites. Area is very clean. Reservations are easy and the host asks what form of payment we would prefer. Very professional.
LegendThis is a great campground to stay at if you’re visiting Cannon Beach and nicely centrally located along the coast to visit the surrounding areas. You can walk into town (2.5 blocks) and the spaces are very green with picnic tables at each. Good size spots, not super spacious but good size flat spaces. There are RV(12’-40’)/Tent sites as well as various size cabins. They also have a general store and coffee bar. During the summer they have various horse 🐴 rides along the beach including night rides.

GuideWent tent camping. Was expecting a bit more of a campsite, but it was just a big field with everybody together. No privacy or trees even blocking other campsites. Not suitable for more than 1 tent or groups. Bathrooms okay, and water was close so thats a plus. Would only stay again if desperate.
Scout
Incredible, free, private. Tent sites only, short hike in from parking lot, bring your own everything. Pit toilets, lake access, close to Mt. St. Helens activities. Four miles from Cougar.
ScoutTent sites are on top of each other and no privacy my site did not have any shade. They are all right next to the road. The docks were nice to fish off of.
Scout
Unique, convenient and affordable. If you’re looking to tent camp, it’s a wide open field with approx 20 sites. They also offer covered wagons which sleep 4 for $45 and is the reason I bumped this rating from a 3 to a 4-star; it’s unique!
GuideI was unimpressed. Okay local if you need to camp in Portland. Not so nice bathrooms. Tent camping was in a big field with weird gravel bits that got louder in the morning. No barriers between campsites. I would pass and find a nicer place to pitch your te t
GuideGreat camping if you go in groups. The tent camping area actually leaves a lot to be desired. The group camping areas have lean to that can accommodate many people in the bunks. We brought a pop up camper and was able to get it set up nicely. Water and toilets are available.
GuideGreat campground. Nice, level, full service RV sites. Only con is how close your neighbors are. Easy beach access. We stay 6 nights in our bumper pull. Can get windy here so watch that awning! Lots of tent sites in wooded areas. Would definitely stay here again.
TravelerAbsolutely incredible experience at Fort Stevens State Park. Huge state park with over 300 different pitches for tents, RVs etc. We were there on a friday night and it was super busy, but we still felt like we had some privacy with our tent site. The showers and bathrooms were very nice and clean, and was nice to have a hot shower after a long day. We enjoyed watching the sunset from the beach which was about a mile walk from where our tent was pitched. Would highly recommend. After camping for 7 nights throughout Washington, Oregon and California, this was by far our favourite.
