Fort Stevens State Park Campground

A great place to camp, so much to do. The historical site was very interesting they have a 23 hole Frisbee golf course, a couple trails the beach was a good distance we drove there to see the shipwreck. Bathrooms were always clean. We had a really good time camping here!

Oregon is well known for it's magnificent state parks, and this is no exception. The campground is huge, probably some 400+ spaces; well cared for & clean, with an abundance of hiking trails & historical sites to explore. Unfortunately in May, the mosquitos were out in full force in the campground. This campground serves as an excellent base camp to explore the northern Oregon coast and southern 

Washington coast

A bit crowded and the sites are a bit close together but its a nice campground.

I hadn't been here for years. I forgot how massive this place is...and how nice it is! We got a last minute reservation and ended up with a great site. It's a HUGE set of campgrounds, but it never felt crowded. And you can drive out on the beach and get away too. We sat for a few hours and had maybe 1 car per hour drive by. We were on loop H, which was good and bad. The bathrooms were horrible and needed torn down, but the next loop over was close and had great bathrooms and showers. Also, H didn't have a playground, so it was a little quieter with the kids. Or maybe it was just because we were camping after Labor Day and there were fewer kids in general.

This campground has it all, nice size spaces, beaches, lots of hiking, biking trails, dirt, and paved. Very quiet, extremely well kept and managed.

Location is incredible, great nature. Place for your dreams! I do like this place so much and playing there in papa games!

Ferocious number of mosquitos that were persistent despite repellant. It’s bizarre they chose to put the campsites near the “lake” and swampy areas versus closer to beach access away from those areas.

Camp sites were also a little too packed tight versus other nearby state parks like Nehalem Bay.

this just an EXCELLENT destination!!!!! thank you for taking the time and exerting the energy to do this! I love it and super mario 64!

I usually dispersed camp, so it was a lot more noisy and active than i'm used to. Most people seem pretty polite, though.And the bathrooms had warm showers, complimentary, and flushing toilets!

Sites are mostly in shaded wood areas but since hookups are available solar needs shouldn't be a concern.  Most sites offer good privacy.  Hiking opportunities as well as to local historical military battery (big gun installation). They guns are gone at this site, but there is one on display a short drive away.

There's not much to add to all of the other reviews except that we were pleasantly surprised at how much we enjoyed being here for a few days.  We happened to get one of just a couple remaining sites mid-week in late June.  The park was full.  And yet there are so many places to explore and relax that we never felt too crowded.   This was our second trip out with our 8 year old grandson.  We didn't lack for activity, for sure!

We checked it all out!  The batteries, the Peter Iredale, the lake and the Jetty.  The only thing we might have enjoyed having were our bikes.  However with a dog, walking is better.

Lots of things to do in this area. park is super well maintained. Trash services, awesome showers, reasonable price. You can walk to the historic boat wreck. Lots of walking and biking trails. Spots were level but close together, but it was quiet.

Quick drive to Astoria if your a Goonies fan. There were elk walking around the neighborhoods. Just love the vibe!

Pretty quiet. The campsites are a little too close together. Not a lot of privacy. The beach is beautiful, though.

I pulled in here as the ranger station was closing. $43 a night for a partial hookup site. Spacious, clean sites with bathrooms and showers.

A fantastic camping experience at this park. Spaces are spacious and private. Miles of bike/hiking trails. Beautiful overview at the mouth of the Columbia river. Mosquitoes were not present.

5-stars - Very nice campground and well located.

Love staying here! Big campground with lots of great bike paths to all the attractions. Rent a bike if needed. The shipwreck and military history are wonderful. Highly recommend!

We had a great time here! The perimeter trails, proximity to Fort Stevens, and all the wonderful nature. One little hiccup with the online booking, but that was all taken care of once we figured out what we were doing wrong. I would recommend this campground to anyone. 

This is a great campground. There are plenty of elk and deer walking around. Lots of sites. Shirt walk to beach and Fort Stevens. Electric and water hookup. Dump station

Great access to lake even had pizza delivery.

This place is a great escape but still so close to the near town of astoria. The park is huge with regular and rv sites, yurts, beach’s, fields and even a ship wreck. You can forage for mushrooms here in the fall if you know what you’re doing. Bathrooms are nice nice as are the yurts. You’ll love it.

Good, clean campground. The mosquitoes were terrible. We were attacked relentlessly. Maybe it gets better. Only stayed one night.

I love this campground been going there since I was a kid. And if you are a gold hunter the black sands Beach is right there. I'm sure you need a o pop remit but you be able to find some gold while you're there.

Awful can't even enjoy our time.

Also tmobile service is non existence

I stayed in loop M. The campsite would have been fantastic except for the invasion of mosquitos due to a nearby stagnant (and toxic looking) creek. Impossible to enjoy the great outdoors when the infestation was so bad.

Otherwise the campground was well maintained. I didn’t explore the other loops so can’t speak to whether this was just isolated to our area, or perhaps it’s a seasonal issue, but something should be done about the contaminated creek so campers can actually sit outside and not get eaten alive.

This place was an easy stop for us. We didn’t have a reservation and we able to claim one of the unreserved spots. The bathrooms were clean and the shower was hot! Which we loved! The beach is cool with a. Old shipwreck on it. Great place to watch the sunset. It’s crowded like your typical state park, but it’s nice too. Is stay here again

We stayed here for 2 nights at one of their “primitive” sites for $11/night which was absolutely stunning! The facilities are lovely and the beach is quiet (despite the shipwreck tourist attraction)! Absolutely recommend if you need a space to stay.
