Beautiful state park on OR coast

This is a beautiful state park campground located with easy access to the beach and the nearby beach town of Manzanita. We were only here for a couple of nights in May, but would absolutely return to spend an entire week.

The sites are relatively close together with minimal screening between them, so camping here in a RV or trailer may be preferable over tent camping, which is effectively what we did (modified toy hauler with outside living quarters). Suggest a site along the beach side for better access and breeze. The other sites along the other rows seemed buffered by trees, which could be a plus.

The bathrooms were some of the cleanest I’ve seen at a state park…a definite plus!

The beach is gorgeous here and with limited people. The town is ~5 min drive away and offers all the quaint beach-town options you’d ever want. Great Mexican restaurant along the main strip.
