    The coastal town of Waldport, Oregon has several good camping options within a short drive. Sutton Campground gives you plenty of space between sites and lots of trees for privacy in the coastal forest. You'll find a quieter experience here compared to some of the busier state parks. Just up the coast, Beverly Beach State Park Campground sits close enough to the ocean that you can hear the waves, with walking paths that take you right to the beach. The campsites have trees between them and the bathrooms include hot showers. Both places fill up quickly in summer, so book ahead if you can. Many campers prefer visiting in spring or fall when there are fewer people and the weather is still decent. Watch for fire bans during dry periods, which happen fairly often. Most campgrounds in the area have a two-week maximum stay, and some activities might need permits. Pack out what you pack in and follow basic Leave No Trace practices to keep these coastal camping areas in good shape.

      Beverly Beach State Park Campground

      Absolutely the best place!

      This is by far a fantastic place to camp or use day ise for access to the semi private beach area along hwy 101 set between Depoe Bay and Newport. It offers sites with close beach access and has all commodities and state park offers. Showers, wood purchase availability, Volunteer run gift shop and park knowledgeable volunteers to provide a fun, relaxing, and gain knowledge from the local staff also. Enjoy! the Yurts in B loop are close to beach 🌟🌟

      Dispersed camping Siuslaw NF

      Secluded and beautiful

      Plenty of good pull offs all along the service road, and the road itself is really well maintained. Some spots have better phone service than others, obviously, and I found one with perfect service. Stayed two nights and saw maybe five total vehicles pass me by.

      South Beach State Park Campground

      Cramped camping

      Very large campground next to Pacific Ocean. Not far from the town of New Port. The campground has a small store that sells ice, firewood, souvenirs. Offers frisbee golf, dirt and paved trails, walking distance to the beach. Restrooms with hot showers. Cons: Very crowded. If you have a large rig, you will want to find a spot on the outer edges. The outer edge campsites have longer driveways that are sla at an angle for backing in easier. The inner sites are shorter and not slanted which is a challenge backing in with tight cramped sites.

      Creekside Retreat at Triangle Lake

      Rejuvenation Is Here

      This place was perfect for our little getaway we had. The glamping tents have everything you need, super comfortable bed, wood burning stove, utensils, plates, bedding, charger, lights, fans, hammock, party cooler, and a deck that walks out onto the water. It’s honestly amazing. 

      The hosts were fantastic and very welcoming. They made sure we were well taken care of. There’s also a communal pavilion with a grill, microwave, coffee, games, and a giant fire place. 

      If you have time, I would recommend a nice kayak around the lake and of course the Rock Slides which are natures water park.

      I was confused on the other review here that said no dogs in the tent, as I didn’t have that experience. They just prefer they don’t sleep on the furniture if they are dirty, which sounded reasonable to us. The facility and water ways was also immaculate. 

      This place was a dream come true, and we will definitely be back here for years to come. Great job!

      South Jetty Sand Camping

      Sand Dune Hazard

      Warning ⚠️‼️ 4x4 is an absolute must here — and even then it can still get risky. We first took the wrong trail and ended up heading straight up a dune toward the beach after passing the staging area. We were in a Tacoma SR5 (not a TRD) with a rear diff lock and all-terrain tires, and we still almost got stuck digging into the dune climbing up. I was honestly worried that if we crested the top and dropped onto the beach, we may not have made it back out.

      Thankfully I was able to reverse back down the dune and return to the staging area. We talked with some guys there and finally figured out the correct trail to the camping area.

      Technically you do need a permit online. We paid for ours, although several people there claimed nobody ever checks and they never pay. Your call, your risk.

      We arrived late and were a little stressed trying to secure a spot before dark because I absolutely did not want to get stranded out there overnight needing recovery. I ended up walking about a quarter mile through the sand to Site #1 first to see if the route looked manageable. After checking it out, I felt confident enough from previous beach and snow driving experience to carefully work our way in.

      Even then, while we were there:

      • One group came asking for help after snapping the axle on their dune runner.
      • Another group was broken down in the staging area after their 4Runner’s 4WD system failed.

      So seriously — be careful and don’t get stranded out at these sites.

      In an emergency, you could probably sleep in the main parking/staging area that says “No Overnight Parking,” although there is a nearby host, so I wouldn’t count on it. To clarify, you are not actually on the beach, with ocean views here.

      Despite all that, I’d still stay again

      Thousand Trails Whalers Rest

      Great locaion!

      Hidden in the trees but leas than a 1 mile walk to the beach. Lost creek beach is quiet and tranquil. I asked for a pull through site so I wasn't under the trees. Very cramped. I would do a back in next time or tequest North Site.

      Harbor Vista Campground

      Perfect but infrastructure needs upgrade

      Of all the lane county Parker’s we’ve camped in, this one’s the best. LOCATION It’s just a few mins from Florence where you can get groceries and such. Stay away from the produce at the Safeway. And just about 20 mins from really amazing views, trails, and a lighthouse north of the campground. PARK INFRASTRUCTURE The bathrooms are great. Clean, newly renovated, hot water, and smells like cedar! I did look in the accessible bathroom and it hasn’t been updated so there’s no hand wand- it’s just a mist head. The layout is fantastic. Every site is private surrounded by vegetation. Half the sites have updated infrastructure and sewer hookups and half don’t. This was the biggest problem while staying here. On the weekend when the park is full, the electric infrastructure in the older part of the park (sites 14-31) can’t handle the load and it kept tripping our rig. We were able to move sites which helped but just warning. The caretaker did say that they plan on replacing and updating everything sometime next year. COMMON AREAS AND CABINS They have some really cute cabins for rent. I didn’t look inside but they sit right on the edge of the campground looking towards the river/ocean. The common areas are great. Swing set, picnic tables, viewing platforms to watch the sunset, fire rings, and there may have been a grill, I can’t remember. STAFF Loved the staff! We had a couple of things come up during our two week stay and the caretaker was so helpful and takes really good care of the place. Literally every tiny spot of bare grass had grass seed in it. That’s great attention to detail! RECOMMENDATIONS If you can get the spot on the far end of the park that looks at the ocean (sites 13), grab it! We wished we could have stayed there. Food- we tried a few places but highly recommend Chens Family Dish. If you have a paddle board, the high tide along the mouth of the river is the perfect spot to puddle about!

      Harbor Vista Campground

      Ocean views at Harbor Vista

      The campsites were all mostly very private. Our site at 31 was a little small but most of the others looked nice. New remodeled showers and bathroom. Great views of the sunset.

      Jessie M. Honeyman Memorial State Park Campground

      Jessie honeyman campground

      I recommend everyone to go and camp at honeyman camp ground. This is an amazing place to go camping at. They multiple things to do there. And your entire family will not get bored lol. They keep everything extremely clean and they have showers and bathrooms. The campground is also rite next to the dunes for those of you that love riding Atv’s and side by sides. You can also go fishing and swimming and kayaking, boating, canoeing. It’s a non stop of fun

    Guide to Waldport

    Camping sites near Waldport, Oregon are positioned where the Siuslaw National Forest meets the Pacific Ocean, with campgrounds often positioned in both coastal and forested environments. Winter temperatures typically average 45°F while summer averages 65°F with significant coastal fog and mist even during summer months. Wind patterns along this stretch of coast can create challenging conditions for tent campers particularly during winter storms when gusts frequently exceed 50 mph.

    What to do

    Tide pooling at low tide: Cross Highway 101 from Seal Rocks RV Cove to access excellent tide pools. "Can't book online so you're required to reserve the old fashion way via telephone... And did I mention the beach is across the street?" notes S&P V. The area features abundant marine life including starfish, sea anemones, and small crabs.

    Hike to Heceta Lighthouse: A 6-mile trail from Carl G. Washburne Memorial State Park takes you to this historic lighthouse. "Fabulous 6 mile hike to Heceta Lighthouse. A day spent at the Sea Lion Caves just up the coast," writes Laura H. The trail includes both forest and coastal sections with elevation gains of approximately 700 feet.

    Visit Thor's Well: Located near Cape Perpetua, this natural feature appears to drain ocean water into the earth. "There is a quarter mile trail through the woods that goes to the beach. The beach is gorgeous!! There are several other trails that you can take right from the campground," shares Kayko S. Best viewed 1-2 hours before high tide for most dramatic effects.

    What campers like

    Private sites with natural screening: Beachside State Recreation Site offers good separation between sites. "We tent camped and LOVED having bushes separate each tent site. Really enjoyed having privacy!" explains D Robert B. The native shore pines and salal provide natural wind barriers during coastal storms.

    Ocean views from campsites: Several campers praise the proximity to water at oceanfront campgrounds. At Tillicum Beach Campground, "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," notes Laura M. These sites typically require reservations 6-9 months in advance.

    Clean facilities: Campers consistently mention well-maintained bathrooms and showers. One visitor to Beverly Beach State Park Campground reports: "Bathrooms and showers were clean. Our site was not large enough to accommodate our trailer and auto." The Oregon State Park system maintains consistent standards for bathroom cleanliness with regular maintenance schedules.

    What you should know

    Road noise affects some sites: Highway 101 runs close to many coastal campgrounds. At Forest Road 51 near Beaver Creek, a camper notes: "Very quiet, lovely views of the sky at sunset. The Beaver Creek park at the bottom of the forest road has a pit toilet and picnic tables for day use." This free dispersed camping option requires high-clearance vehicles on some sections.

    Seasonal availability varies: Many campgrounds have limited operating seasons. Cape Perpetua operates from May 15 to September 7, while others remain open year-round with reduced services in winter months.

    Weather conditions can change rapidly: Coastal fog, rain, and wind often occur even during summer. Pack appropriate layers and rain gear regardless of season. Morning fog typically burns off by mid-afternoon on clear days.

    Tips for camping with families

    Junior Ranger programs: Many state parks offer educational activities for children. At Carl G. Washburne Memorial, "They offer the Junior Ranger Program to occupy kiddos which is great!" according to Kelli B. These programs typically run weekends during summer and include nature walks and wildlife identification.

    Playground access: Some campgrounds feature dedicated play areas. South Beach State Park Campground has "a great walk path (paved) and easy access to the beach. This is a great campground and very kid friendly!!" mentions Brian P.

    Protected beach access: Look for campgrounds with direct, safe beach trails. "We loved staying here! Beautiful beach that is lovely at sunset and sunrise. Helpful and friendly hosts," shares Lauren Hannah G. about Beachside State Recreation Site. The beach access trails here are relatively flat and suitable for children.

    Tips from RVers

    Site size limitations: Many coastal campgrounds have limited space for larger rigs. At Tillicum Beach Campground, a camper warns, "Clean and very pleasant. Great views, best for tent campers. Very tight fit for medium to larger rigs." Most sites accommodate RVs up to 30 feet, with limited options for larger vehicles.

    Electrical hookups: Most developed campgrounds offer electric service, but amperage varies. "We had no problem fitting our 39' 5th wheel into the site easily enough... Site 18 is one of the better ocean view sites in the park and has a lot of privacy," notes MickandKarla W. about Seal Rocks RV Cove.

    Dump station access: Not all campgrounds provide on-site dump facilities. Check availability before arrival or plan to use facilities in nearby towns. Most charge $5-10 for non-campers.
