Many campgrounds remain open seasonally, typically from spring through early fall, with Whittaker Creek operating from May 22 to September 8 and Richardson Park open April 15 to October 15.

    Albany-Corvallis KOA

    Nice campground - beware of rd noise

    Great campground with nicely spaced and well maintained sites. Clean restrooms, laundry and pool on site. There is a small playground too. Close to Corvalis but you do get a lot of road noise. Would come back if passing through the area.

    Harbor Vista Campground

    Great beach access, clean bathrooms/showers, nice camp hosts!

    ***The fog horn runs on the jetty constantly during fog season, sounding a tone every 35 seconds.*** I got used to it but I can see it making the right person go bananas and maybe not be able to stay here.

    I thought the camp hosts were super accommodating, wanting to drive my wood bundle over to my site for me. The single shower was awesome, very clean and spacious. Felt a bit like glamping here, but I did notice the sink waste receptacles were not mapped out in a very accessible way. my neighbor had one but I didn't, and I didn't want to walk into their camp to dump water. 

    I enjoyed the little walk down to a beachy area. Lots of huckleberries all over the campground.

    Umpqua Lighthouse State Park Campground

    Great amenities, gorgeous area - not much privacy

    I was at site 32 - nearby the bathrooms, which were very clean and had a great sink outside which was useful for cleaning camp dishes as I was car camping. I loved the 1 mile loop around the lake, totally covered in huckleberries in August. Lots to pick and plenty unripe for September pickings. Camp host was very friendly. 

    I found my campsite itself to lack privacy, I was very much up my neighbor's butt getting their campfire smoke blowing directly into my site. Not enough shrubbery/trees in my opinion. Across from me was way too much of a view of my other neighbor. And just beside them was a very, very loud family with little kids frequently running past my site. 

    All of this to be expected at a nice campground close to the 101 during the last week of summer before school starts. I would stay here again despite my issues with privacy, maybe another spot would be better.

    Armitage Park & Campground - a Lane County Park

    Beautiful campground crappy host

    Almost every camping space has an electric outlet, water hookup and its own septic hookup if you an rv camper. Tent campers can use the hookups as well if you want to. Sites are clean and well managed and within walking distance to the river. Tho tent camping is aloud the host seems to dislike tent campers and talked to me like I was trash very disrespectful.

    Eel Creek Campground

    Quiet beautiful night

    Showed up on a weekday and had a pick of spots, which I then reserved online with spotty but manageable service. I liked how many spots had a fire ring/picnic table then a more secluded spot for a tent. The nearby trail was a somewhat challenging but very wonderful trip to the ocean from the campgrounds.

Guide to Walton

Camping near Walton, Oregon, offers a mix of beautiful landscapes and family-friendly activities. Whether you're looking for a quiet retreat or a fun-filled adventure, there are several campgrounds to choose from.

What to do:

  • Explore the Oregon Dunes National Recreation Area: This area is perfect for off-road vehicle enthusiasts. One camper mentioned, “As this park is inside the Oregon Dunes National Recreation area, it was a point of entry for people to take their ORVs out and run around on the dunes” at the Jessie M. Honeyman Memorial State Park Campground.
  • Visit the Beach: The Tillicum Beach Campground is just a stone's throw from the ocean. A reviewer said, “About half the sites have ocean views or partial ocean views,” making it a great spot for beach lovers.
  • Hiking Trails: Many campgrounds, like Cape Perpetua, offer access to scenic hiking trails. One visitor noted, “This campground is incredibly popular and I don’t recommend rolling the dice like we did - I would reserve a spot.”

What campers like:

  • Clean Facilities: Campers appreciate well-maintained restrooms and showers. A review for Carl G. Washburne Memorial State Park Campground highlighted, “The restrooms are very clean, plenty of hosts, and spots.”
  • Privacy Between Sites: Many campgrounds, such as Alder Dune Campground, offer a sense of seclusion. A camper mentioned, “The camping spaces are spread out and isolated by vegetation, providing some privacy.”
  • Friendly Camp Hosts: Campers often rave about the helpful staff. At South Jetty RV and Camping Resort, one visitor said, “The staff were very nice upon arrival.”

What you should know:

  • Noise Levels: Some campgrounds can be noisy during the day. A review for Jessie M. Honeyman Memorial State Park Campground mentioned, “It was a bit noisy during the day from the amount of families and people.”
  • Limited Amenities: Not all campgrounds have full hookups or showers. For example, Sutton Campground lacks water filling capabilities, which can be a hassle for some campers.
  • Reservation Recommendations: Many campgrounds fill up quickly, especially during peak season. A camper at Cape Perpetua advised, “I would reserve a spot.”

Tips for camping with families:

  • Kid-Friendly Play Areas: Look for campgrounds with playgrounds. One parent at Jessie M. Honeyman Memorial State Park Campground noted, “We took our toddler to the playground, which she loved.”
  • Supervision at Playgrounds: Be aware that some playgrounds can get crowded. A reviewer mentioned, “There were a lot of bigger kids there who were not being supervised,” so keep an eye on your little ones.
  • Family-Oriented Activities: Campgrounds like Tillicum Beach Campground offer activities for all ages. One camper said, “There is a lot to do in the area.”

Tips from RVers:

  • Check Site Sizes: Some sites can be tight for larger RVs. A review for Tillicum Beach Campground warned, “Be careful if you’re in an RV or trailer as some of the spots are tighter than you would expect.”
  • Electric Hookups: Not all campgrounds provide electric hookups. A camper at Sutton Campground noted, “There are no water hookups or dump sites unfortunately.”
  • Plan for Limited Connectivity: Many campgrounds have poor cell service. A visitor at Cape Perpetua mentioned, “There’s practically no signal in the campground.”
