  Waldport KOA

  Very nice privacy

  We tent camped and LOVED having bushes separate each tent site. Really enjoyed having privacy! Nice little walk down to the bay.

  Carl G. Washburne Memorial State Park Campground

  Very Popular

  The second Friday of September this was the only campground along the Oregon coast that had an open spot. The only space available was the handicap site, which is only open to non-handicapped campers after 7pm. As a tent camper this was not an ideal spot. The majority of the sites are designed for RVs and have hook ups. There were plenty of tent campers using these sites, especially the smaller ones further back. There are also hiker-biker sites located sort of in the middle of an RV loop. There are also tent sites that are removed from the tent parking area. When I drove through the tent site parking I couldn't see any of the tent sites.

  The campground has flushing toilets and hot showers. If you are camping showers are free and unlimited. The showers are also made available to non-campers for $2. The campground is connected to hiking trails in the area of varying difficulty including a 1/2 mile trail to the beach. The state park is on both sides of the road but the campground is on side away from the beach. The Oregon coast in this area is incredible and the geography changes drastically as you drive between Newport and Florence. Both towns are worth a visit.

  River access

  Excellent place for gentle river kayaking or a nice hike. Love the quiet, peaceful surroundings. Have stayed here several times tent camping. Highly recommend this campground.

  KOA (Kampgrounds of America)

  Adequate

  Kind of expensive considering the facilities are only adequate. Hookups are good. View only from perimeter sites. Tent sites are more private.

  South Beach State Park Campground

  Great pit stop to explore Newport.

  I pulled in before the ranger station closed, and was able to get a tent site for $24. Amenities are super clean, unlimited use showers and perfect spacing in between sites.

  Umpqua Lighthouse State Park Campground

  Loud, Crowded

  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.

  Jessie M. Honeyman Memorial State Park Campground

  Great large size park with lots of camping spots

  This is a very large (160 spot) campground with RV hookup and tent sites. There’s a great day use area as well. Bathrooms are clean and showers are available. Great place to stay. Just read all the other reviews.

  Jessie M. Honeyman Memorial State Park Campground

  Some sites are small, but beautiful park

  There's a lot of construction in some loops right now (08/2020), but the park is beautiful. Access to Woahink and Cleawox lakes and a beautiful, mossy forest makes this a great park on its own. Access to the nearby Oregon dunes is restricted in the spring and summer, but direct the rest of the year. Note to pet owners: we spotted a rough-skinned newt working its way through our site - they are poisonous if licked or eaten! Be careful what site you book if tent camping - not all sites are large enough.

  Oregon Dunes KOA

  Something for everyone.

  Overall great place to have fun! However you like to camp -- from dry tent camping, to full hook ups, and even luxury private lodges. Lots of extra stuff for entertainment of all ages. And connected to Steve's ATV rental and the Dunes. Best ATV spot for sure.

  Definitely my favorite camp to date.

  Family Favorite Camp Spot

  This campground is full of folks! It’s not remote if that is what you are looking for, but the location can’t be beat. They also have yurts and RV spots as well as tent camping. Great bike/walk path and paths to the ocean. Close to the aquarium and lighthouses. Lots to see and great town.

  Horse Creek Campground — Siuslaw National Forest

  The Oregon Coast's Hidden Treasure

  After accidentally reserving the wrong campground, we were pointed in the direction of Horse Creek. Access to it is up an unmarked dirt road, about 10 minutes from 101. It's truly out in the middle of the woods, with campsites meant for campers with horses but it worked perfectly for our tent camping. Pay on site, no campground host. Vault toilets.

  Cascara Campground — Fall Creek State Recreation Area

  Great place

  Beautiful. About 30 min away from groceries and stores. Came in late to this campround. No reservation needed. Lucky they had a couple of tent sites open. We ended up staying an extra day. About $21 for a night with a car. Extra vehicle extra $7.

  South Beach State Park Campground

  Well maintained

  I camped here during Memorial day weekend. It was crowded, lots of families with RVs. Bathrooms/showers are very clean and nice. Very dog friendly. Nice trails, beach access. Newport is only few minutes drive away and such a cute small coastal town. If you are tent camping and prefer more privacy and to be away from RV area I suggest "I" loop.

  Tillicum Beach Campground

  Loved this campground !

  I camped here 2 nights at the end of my bicycle trip down the Oregon coast (wanted to continue but had to get back to work) I had reserved the site >1 month in advance through the app (Recreation.gov) and hoped it would be a good tent site. It was pretty good but we had to get creative to find room for our 2 small tents. The campground seems more geared to mostly campers and RVs, but there are a lot of sites with good space for tents too. I highly recommend this campground and wish it was closer to my home because I want to go back again!!

  Tillicum Beach Campground

  Its alright

  I enjoyed it. It’s clean, quiet (people noise) and it has an ocean view. Try to stay as close to the ocean side of the campgrounds as possible because the 101 is loud. I like tent camping I don’t care if it’s cold or rainy. It’s just my thing. I love the fact that I can pick my spot and pitch my tent. Some spots are pretty hidden some more open. Doesn’t matter overall very enjoyable I will be back.

  Hi-Way Haven RV Park

  Excellent !!! 100% recommended for a safe and nice weekend

  Staff was extremely friendly, professional and attentive. They have everything super clean on bathrooms, kitchen and around the park. Tent sites has electricity and picnic tables. They also a full kitchen to cook with free coffee and perishable food. They had free movie night on big screen with free popcorn and a nice forepit.

  Windy Cove Campground (Section B)

  Best on the OR coast!

  I’ve been coming to the Winchester Bay RV Resort for over 30 years. It is , by far, my favorite place to camp on the OR coast! They do not have tent sites, but if you have an RV, you will love it! It’s nestled between the marina and the Umpqua river heading out to the ocean.

  Dexter Shores RV Park

  Clean, safe, comfortable

  I had an easy stopover here on the way to Eastern Oregon. I didn’t want to use my tanks, so I used their restrooms. They were warm, clean, and well-lit. Walking back and forth from my trailer, I felt safe. There are plenty of big trees in the park which is lovely. Lots of full-timers live here, plus there is a portion that is mobile homes. There’s also a nice looking tent camping area, but it was cold and no one was there. They also have an area for walking the dogs. Good Sam discount. Contrary to the listing, they do have 30 amp service.

  Hult Pond

  Secluded Pond Great for a Quick stay

  Great spot for a quick stay. There are only a few flat spots for RVs but quite a few decent spots for tent camping next to the pond. The west side of the pond has at least 2 spots that are a good distance away from the others. At the moment, no fires or barbecues allowed but propane stoves and lanterns are fine. Look for Bandits blue squeaky disk! We lost it and never found it.

  Carl G. Washburne Memorial State Park Campground

  Great place to camp a couple nights.

  Right across the highway from the beach is the Washburne State Park campground. It’s a short walk to the beach from the day use area of the park. There are two loops for RV’s and those who want electric sites. The seven tent sites are all walk in, set back in the trees and very private from each other as well as set apart from the RV sites. The campground provides a cart for you to haul any gear to your campsite. I had tent site 77, which was mostly level, with a picnic table and fire pit and I had hookup site 11 the next night.  Firewood was available for sale by the campground host near the entrance. I loved how quiet the campground was at all times and that I could hear the ocean at night from both of my sites. The bathhouse was new, clean, and had great water pressure! The only downside was that the nearest bathhouse was a long walk into the RV loop and the small toilet and sink only bathroom in the tent area was locked while I was there. A creek ran through the campground, but was downhill from the tents, so you really don’t know that it is there.

  Umpqua Lighthouse State Park Campground

  To small for me

  We were a bit suprised when we got there to find the tent site was very small, I mean small. There was no place for you to let the dog do their business and the only real place to walk was a STEEP walk to the lake. Very noisy, and the park people were kind of rude. Showers were gross.

  Cape Perpetua

  Privacy little, trails yes!

  We liked the site we got(37) and there was a couple more that had some privacy, but most of them were right on the road. If you are "Camping" with a motor home this isn't a big deal, but tent camping makes it a downer(I'll show in pictures). The group site here is huge and has a lot of amenities (sink, electric, tables, and a covered area) 125.00/night.(pictures). The day-use area has one of the best view I've seen on the Oregon Coast.(picture) There is a nice Creek, and nice trails surrounding the place (picture of map) close to ocean and cool stuff like Thor's Well.(picture)

  Albany-Corvallis KOA

  Tent camping

  Well we did not know that when tent camping you can only stay two weeks we were originally told we could stay as long as we wanted as long as we moved and did not stay in a spot more than 7 days. Not a bad campground just don't like the two week stay rule. Plus my cat loves it. There is a natural that can be walked, a dog park, swimming pool, also a place to throw disc golf disc's.

  Tillicum Beach Campground

  Great Beach Side Campground

  You can walk right onto the beach from the campground. There are Pull-thru and tent sites. Pet are also allowed here. There are some recreation trails close by. The restrooms are always clean. They have both 30 and 50 amp hookups for the RV camper . I would recommend that you reserve a site during the high season. It is a popular campground without all the extra 'fluff'.

  Armitage Park & Campground - a Lane County Park

  Close to Eugene and by the river!

  The on-site host is available by phone at 1pm to 2pm and I believe 4pm to 5pm. Otherwise you have to call the main line and book a space. It’s $20 or $30 for a tent site and $30 for a rv site. I have stayed there multiple times. It has showers and bathrooms and it is clean and safe. It’s a great place to stay close to town and avoid the hotel scene.
