We wound up camping at Kelly's when all of Portland decided to escape the summer heat and every single campsite that took reservations on the coast was full--and it turned out to be a great option.

Kelly's does not have a campground in the woods feel--it has a camping at a marina feel because that'e exactly what you're doing. There are RV hookups and a dozen or so campsites. Most of the campsites are on the north end of the marina on a grassy area with trees where you can drive up to the site. There are also a few unmarked sites along the water on the south side of the marina by the boat ramp.

Every site has a fire pit and picnic table. There are separate bathrooms and showers for campers with a key code in addition to the marina bathrooms. Campers also have access to the main marina which has a giant fire pit and wifi. We opted to sit around the community fire at night in lieu of building our own.

Tent sites were $30 and we even managed to find a place to hang up the hammock on the sea wall posts.
