Best way to stay in Lincoln City!

If you love the beach and are too cheap for a motel, this is your place! 

You're not roughing it and won't feel too much privacy, a busy year round family friendly campground. The loop usually has walkers in the early AM and kids on bikes the rest of the day.  We've stayed here probably 6 times in the last two years and never had a complaint, even pregnant.

Devils Lake is right there next to you, the dock is lovely at sunrise and there is easy kayak access if you packed your banana boat. There are fish in that lake! 

If you don't have a kayak or boaty device there is a rental place across the lake... the name escapes me but it's the only one there so easy to spot.

Sites are large enough for two medium tents or one large, driveways even on tent sites will accommodate an RV if your in-laws arrive last minute in their Winnebago.

If you forget your coffee press, Dutch Bros is a 5 minute walk away and open early/late. 

Plenty of firewood for sale on site. 

Bathrooms are large and kept clean, the pathways are still navigable at night when you thought your cell phone would provide enough light.

The campground is close enough that you can hear the ocean some nights though not always on account of the raccoon traffic coursing through the grounds. 

This should go without saying - but my younger brother had to learn the hard way, racoons can and will unzip your tent if you've got snacks inside. 

If you've got a curry in your tent, they will unzip your tent, pop that sucker open and express their disappointment by smearing little racoon curry paws all over the inside making your tent smell like and look like a diaper - this was a very educational trip for that brother.
