Land sailing on the wide Oregon coast beach draws some visitors to Camp Rilea, while others come simply for the direct foot access to the shore that the base provides. Situated on the northern Oregon coast near Warrenton, this military-managed campground requires a valid military ID, veteran status, or qualifying government employee credentials for entry. The gate is staffed 24 hours a day. Roughly 20 paved sites with full hookups, including electric, water, and sewer, sit in one section, while a separate gravel lot holds additional sites with electric only. Back-in configuration applies throughout.
Reviewers consistently highlight the cleanliness of the shower and bathroom facilities, which multiple campers describe as well maintained. The campground borders active training ranges, which can affect foot access to certain areas depending on scheduled activity. A dump station and potable water are available on site, and the base also includes a small exchange, a weight room, and coin laundry. The restaurant noted in past reviews was closed as of late 2024 and listed as seeking new ownership, so campers should plan meals accordingly.
Sunset Lake Resort & RV and Sunset Lake Campground and RV Park are nearby civilian alternatives for those without qualifying credentials. Astoria and the Lewis and Clark National Historical Park are roughly a ten-minute drive away. As Neil B. put it, "enjoy what your service earned." Eligible campers who want coastal access with full hookups and a low-key atmosphere among fellow veterans will find Camp Rilea worth the trip.
