    Nehalem Bay State Park Campground

    SPECTACULAR wildlife all around

    [ PROS ]

    • We came during offseason (November) and camped at this State Park for 3 nights. Man, it was so amazing. It was super quiet and empty so we felt like we had the entire park to ourselves.

    • A family of deer visited us every single morning/night during our stay. We definitely didn't try to interact with them, but they were comfortable to roam right around our site which was a really magical experience

    • Nehalem Bay is such a beautiful area and the State Park is nestled in lots of beautiful, lush greenery. There are lots of birds, plants, and other wildlife to observe. We loved hearing coyotes yapping in evenings from the campground.

    • It's very peaceful and serene here. It's right by the beach and an easy walk to the coast. We also got to visit Manzanita for a little day trip and had lunch out there. Such a cute little coastal town worth checking out.

    • Free hot showers and really nice restrooms. I'm starting to realize that Oregon State Parks are SOOO much superior to California State Parks. The amenities at all the Oregon campgrounds I've visited are wonderful. We definitely got spoiled by camping in Oregon that it will be hard going back home to California

    • Very close to stores, restaurants, and gas stations if you need to pick up supplies.

    [ CONS ]

    • While it was a beautiful campground, the sites are rather small and close together. We obviously didn't experience this campground when it's crowded, but I can imagine how packed it would feel.

    Fort Stevens State Park Campground

    A Little Of Everything

    We car camped here in mid-February. The park is extensive - ranging from large stretches of beach - to a fascinating fort. Lots of trails and bike paths. Warrenton is close by, which was convenient when we got hungry. A quiet, peaceful atmosphere.

    Hares Canyon Horse Camp — L.L. Stub Stewart Memorial State Park

    Equestrians Only

    Hares Canyon Horse Camp is one of three campgrounds in Stub Stewart State Park and unlike other horse camps which often allow the overflow of tenters and rv'ers without horses, this horse camp is equestrian only.

    The Campground is set up in one loop and offers both single and double sites, ADA facilities, showers, toilets, and trash. Each site has a picnic table, fire pit, and a corral. There is a double corral on the double sites.

    You must clean up after your own horse. Manure bin as well as shovels/brooms are provided onsite.

    In mid May, the sites were very wide open.

    Nehalem Bay State Park Campground

    Peaceful Slice of Heaven on the Pacific Coast

    Really cool atmosphere just steps away from the beach. The sounds of the waves can be heard right from your site. Nice facilities. Yurt is highly recommended and sleeps 5. Really liked that each yurt had its own deck, picnic table, and fire pit. The shrubbery around the campgrounds was really cool and offered extra privacy. They also had equestrian sites as well as tent and electric RV. Cannot wait to go back my only regret was that we couldn't stay longer!

    Clatsop State Forest Northrup Creek Horse Campground

    Quiet secluded forest camping

    We had the campground to our self midweek.  This is a wonderful campground far enough off the beaten path and being listed has a horse camp most likely keeps the crowds down.  While this is a horse campground, only 8 of the sites are for horse campers, a small tent/RV camping loop of 3 sites is also available, but the parking pads are small so don't think most RVs will fit in the spots.  Each campsite has a picnic table and metal fire ring.  Nice flat ground for your tent with plenty of shade from the large trees.  Campground has a hand pump for water.  Dish wash stations are through out the campground for pouring out you dish water.  The horse camp sites all have corrals for the horses.  Nice hiking trail starts at the tent camping area, "Big Tree Trail" will take you past some monster sized trees.  This will be a campground we return to the next time we visit Oregon

    Dairy Creek East — L.L. Stub Stewart Memorial State Park

    Beautiful State Park Campground

    One of our favorite Oregon SPs. In the middle of a mountainous forest with lots of hiking, paved path & mtb biking, disc golf, horse trails and more. Well maintained full hookup sites with 50amp, most 63' long. The park has recently renewed trail signage.

    Fort Stevens State Park Campground

    Oregon State Park at its finest

    Fort Stevens State Park in Warrenton, OR is a clean and well maintained park for all levels of camping from tents to large RV’s. They even have Yurts, many which are pet friendly. There are many miles of hiking/biking trails through forest and beaches. The old fort is fun to visit . For those wanting to explore further, there is Astoria to the north and Seadide and Cannon Beach to the south. I highly recommend a visit.

    Dairy Creek West — L.L. Stub Stewart Memorial State Park

    Ranger Review: Liquid I.V. at L.L. “Stubb” Stewart

    Campground Review: Something for everyone! 

    Top reasons I love this campground:

    • So easy to get to from anywhere in northwestern Oregon; especially the Portland area 
    • Open year-round 
    • 18-hole disc golf course 
    • Great hiking and biking trails 
    • Full hook-ups, cabins, equestrian sites, and walk-in tent sites

    Product Review: As a Ranger for The Dyrt, occasionally I get to test products. At this campground, I tested Liquid I.V. Hydration Multiplier and the Liquid I.V. Sleep night time drink mix. I really liked both products. They are portable, have natural ingredients, taste good and I found them to be effective! Additionally, Liquid I.V. has an incredible social justice cause donating millions of their products to people around the world who are in need of proper hydration. I love that this is a company AND products I feel good about! 

    Pros: 

    • Portable 
    • Natural ingredients (vitamins, electrolytes, potassium, sodium, glucose) 
    • Rapid absorption 
    • IT WORKS!! 
    • Amazing cause 

    **Cons: **

    • It’s pricey 
    • I wish the Sleep night time drink mix came in another flavor without lavender
    • Contains more sugar than I would like 

    Overall, I give the product 4.5 stars
