South Beach State Park Campground

We stayed in a yurt over Christmas and the heater in the Yurt did not heat sufficiently. We tried to get it fixed by staff but there wasn’t anyone who could help.

We were near the lift station and the alarm was sounding off throughout our stay. Also no one remedied this.

Clean, well maintained. Love the fog horn in the distance. Nice easy trails, many paved. I prefer a little more space between me and my neighbors.

We enjoyed our selfs.we were close to beach neighbors were plesent as were the host.

A great site for “light” camping, good location, felt very safe and perfect for kids with the playground. Very busy of course given its popularity.

Camping trip to South Beach Park and enjoyed it great place the first night it drizzling rain but the weather changed and it was sunny for the rest of the week camped until the 7 and enjoyed

This campground is very clean, wonderful hot showers , and over all great

It's been a couple of years since my first review and I wanted to share new perspective.  This time around we took our 9 year old grandson.  He loved the play structure and we had the convenience of backing in to a site that was near the kids area.  All went well till he fell out of a tree and broke his arm.  😂

Actually we enjoyed hikes to the beach, some whale watching and playing games when it rained.  We were there over New Years Eve. 

What surprised be is that the campground was FULL that week!  And, it wasn't at all offensive.  Still pretty quiet and great. 

One negative:  When rain came through some sites really flooded.  This site did at the front of the truck.  Not too badly, as we were still able to get into the truck.

We'll enjoy this campground again in the future.

Large campground with a ton of spots. Pretty open in some spots, so may feel more like an RV park. Great for groups and easy setup with minimal leveling needed. Easy walk to the beach with lots of trails.

I pulled in before the ranger station closed, and was able to get a tent site for $24. Amenities are super clean, unlimited use showers and perfect spacing in between sites.

Campground is clean and quiet, camp sites are a good size our site had plenty of room to fit a 10 person tent plus tables and canopy. Rangers there are very nice and patrol regularly, one ranger (forgot his name) went above and beyond to help me, I needed an outlet to blow up an air mattress and he walked me around till he found a utility closet that had an outlet so thankful. Free hot showers and close to beach.

A large park with expansive grounds. Large area for kids, some good RV spots. We had water and electric and used the dump station. Lot of things to see and do here, or do nothing. This location lends to all. From here, we rode bikes into town, down to the beach on paths that connect to the park. We got a crab boat near by and hauled them in. We got our limit for the two of us, 24 Dungeness crabs in all. 4 never made it out of the parking lot after they were cleaned and cooked. Tailgated them! :-) I'd go again.

Got lucky with great weather in April during our one night stay. Bathrooms were clean and easy walking distance from our site. Short hike from the beach, and close to the Oregon Coast Aquarium. The kids loved the playground next to the campsite (giving the adults a brief reprieve while still in eyesight of the kids).

We camped in our Model Y as we drive the Oregon coast. This was a great spot to sleep with clean bathrooms, great host and quiet.

Really nice here, quiet, very pretty. Showers were hot with good pressure, but they need a shower curtain. I definitely would come back here.

This is a large campground but very quiet. Beach is about 1/2 mile walk/bike ride away. Close to town and many great sites.

This is a great campground -biking, hiking and beach access

Big and busy campground - lots to do, family friendly. Can be loud , but depends on who’s camping around you. Nice paths to walk and access to beach. Nice level site and had good antennae coverage, low Verizon service.

This is a huge campground with clean facilities, nice amenities, easy access to the beach, and it's close to the Oregon Coast Aquarium.

We spent a late-Spring night here and enjoyed all aspects of the park and campground. South Beach State Park is on our list of campgrounds to visit every year.

It is a nice campground, but a little tight backing into the sites. The tent bathroom and shower around loop H are nicer than the one near loop D. There is a steady background noise of a horn coming from the coast.

I visited in February so i had no trouble getting a spot.

Great cell phone service

level, paved road and sites

large sites with a good amount of space between each

electric hookups

dump station available

fresh water available

huge grounds and lots of hiking trails around-close to the beach

only downside i experienced was the showers there have low pressure and don’t get warm

We were out trying out our new-to-us travel trailer and decided to check out South Beach State Park.  Being here in January was great.  Pretty quiet and worth the somewhat inclement weather.  We did get the opportunity to get out and walk and hike on the many trails in and around the park.  The walk through the woods to the dunes was beautiful!  You safely can walk to the Aquarium from here, as well.  

We had a site with electricity and water.  Felt private and a nice greenway behind us.  Plenty of camp hosts around taking good care of the park.

I'm sure it's very busy in the summer season.  Not sure it'd be my cup of tea , then.  However I see why it's popular!

Oh, p.s.  Many of the campsites were flooded, but there were plenty to choose from so it wasn't a big deal at all.

Huge facility with a lot of options from basic tent camping to fancy rv.

Just spent the night, don't know a lot about what's here. Near town and the aquarium. Huge place.

It was a peaceful night. From our spot we could hear the sea lions off in the distance. There were plenty of open spaces so you didn’t have to be right up on anyone else.

Spent 3 nights here, great sites, very clean campsites. Peaceful and quiet long before 10pm. Close to town, sightseeing and the beach. Will stay here again. One of my favorite campgrounds.

If you're in an RV or similar and aren't looking for much privacy nor much of an outdoorsy feeling with much privacy, then you might love this campground. But if you're more into solitude and space and privacy, i would suggest you keep looking. While the tent sites offer a bit more space from one another and feel a lot less like a parking lot than the fully accessible sites, you can hear the regular sound of the jetty horn every 12 seconds.
