This rustic park is perfect for year round camping. New to trailer camping and love the river views, the trees, the easy access and closeness to town.

Paved Level Private Sites
Good rest rooms and showers. Dump station is working and included in fee for campers. Close to old town Florence for shopping / eating experience. Non-Oregon residents pay higher rates. Otherwise, concur with other more detailed prior reviews. Would stay again.

South Beach State Park Campground
Level Paved Sites... Good Restrooms
Large level campground with well maintained landscaping. Asphalt paved roads and sites. Restrooms have flush toilets, hot/cold water sinks and individual showers. No tokens req'd. Nice asphalt paved walking path gets you close to beach for nice beach walks with views of iconic bridge from near jetty. Close to Oregon Aquarium which is good side trip. Sites lack privacy... and are a little close together but not bad... Quiet at night except for distant surf Would stay again.

Nice beach campground
This is a very nice clean campground. They have showers and a gift shop. The spaces are nice and not to close together. They also have a cute little book exchange in the main road. The beach is a .25 mile walk away in a paved path. Wery easy to get to. They allow pets on leashes but once you get to the beach, dogs can be off leash. The only negative I feel is they charge more for out of state residents which in my opinion is unfair and overpriced. And that does not include the 10.00 booking fee. 😐

Nice state park with beach access
Very misty in early October but still nice.

Very Nice Quiet Campsite Near an Old Logging Pond
This dispersed campground allows a 14-day stay. Paved roads and a good variety of sized campsites. I found a cemented level slab to park my trailer on, however, this was the only site with a cemented structure. Lots of blackberries to pick, and very nice place to hike with your pets.
Forrest W.GuideHarbor Vista Campground
Clean, quiet, and private
This campground is operated by Lane County (Oregon). For $30 / night, it offers electrical (30-amp) and water hookups (threaded spigots). There are free showers in the recently remodeled bathroom facilities. The campground is located on a cliff overlooking the outlet of the Siuslaw River as it empties into the Pacific Ocean. The setting is absolutely beautiful, and the campground is meticulously maintained. The campsites are situated between dense bushes and ground cover that provide excellent privacy between campers. Harbor Vista is close to downtown Florence (but not too close), so shopping and dining options are easy to come by.

TravelerSiuslaw National Forest Blackberry Campground
Near Waldport
We stayed at this campground for 4 days as a family gathering.
It's close to the coastal town of Waldport if you need supplies.
Vault toilets were clean, the campground host hovered a bit as we had many extra vehicles and she wanted to be sure we paid the fees.
Other than that, its a nice place to stay on the Alsea river.
Guide to Waldport
Waldport's coastal region sits where the Alsea River meets the Pacific Ocean, creating a unique ecosystem of tidal flats, coastal forests, and dunes. Winter temperatures rarely drop below freezing, though coastal winds can make evenings feel considerably colder year-round. The campgrounds around Waldport provide access to both forested settings and beach environments, with several facilities remaining open throughout winter months.
What to do

Dune adventures: Jessie M. Honeyman Memorial State Park Campground provides direct access to Oregon's famous sand dunes. "Special and unique landscape right in the center of Oregon Dunes. We love it here. Located close to the quant town of Florence. Lots of nearby hikes, beach access, and of course the dunes," explains Blaine B.
Kayaking and paddling: Hult Pond offers calm waters for non-motorized watercraft. "The pond was great for kayaking and there is plenty to explore if you aren't worried about a little elevation in your hike," shares Nicki G., highlighting the recreational diversity beyond beach activities.

Clean facilities: Harbor Vista Campground maintains exceptional standards. "Most immaculate level clean friendly sites and staff," states Frank L., reflecting the consistent upkeep that campers appreciate in glamping accommodations near Waldport, Oregon.
Proximity to activities: South Jetty RV and Camping Resort provides convenient access to multiple attractions. "This is a very quiet campground, activities were minimal due to Covid-19 restrictions.

What you should know
Reservation requirements: Most campgrounds fill quickly during summer months. "Get there early as reservations cannot be made and its all first come, first serve! It is extremely busy during peak season," cautions Kelli B. about Carl G. Washburne Memorial State Park Campground.
Weather considerations: Coastal weather can change rapidly, even in summer. "It would be cool during a hot summer. Since I visited in November and it rained, the drops from the trees were loud on my trailer roof," notes a D37 review of Carl G. Washburne.
Mosquito preparedness: South Beach State Park requires bug spray during certain seasons. "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," advises Brian C.

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," describes Erik C.
Tips from RVers
Site selection priorities: Waldport KOA offers sites with various advantages. "They have a few full hookup RV sites that have an unbeatable view of Alsea Bay and the Pacific Ocean, but they reserve fast," advises Steve H., emphasizing the need for early booking.
RV maneuvering considerations: Many coastal campgrounds have limited turning space. "We got stuck in a ditch. RV almost tipped over trying to u turn... if you go down the main lower path you will find a area big enough to u turn! Dont do it until then!" warns Dillon & Soren A. about Hult Pond.
