Tillicum Beach Campground

Passing through, stayed one rainy Oregon night. Beautiful beach steps away. Few spots with water and power. No dump station and no contact with camp host. Camp host had their Rottweiler dog tied up in front of their camper with sign saying they are off duty :( No asking questions today… Reserved spots well spaced but same day reserved basically a designated space on the side of the road.

Clean, quiet campground. FF sights 29, 30, and 31 have fantastic private ocean front areas with picnic table and fire pit. We camped in space 32 and did not like the set up for our 30ft 5th wheel. The table, fire pit, and outdoor space is on opposite side of door and awning, and there is not enough space on door/awning side for any chairs or hanging out. Ocean beach access was great and the beach/ocean is amazing here! Bathrooms are clean, but no showers for tent campers. Overall, great time!

People reserve and don’t show up. Or they reserve a spot, show up and like the first come first serve spot better so nab that without canceling their reservation since cell reception is bad. So if the sign says campground is full, still ask around. We got a spot on a Friday in summer this way.

Camp hosts were amazing only one issue I found is it can be hard to make it down to the beach if you are not in great shape.   Big rocks to climb over and down to make it to the beach defenitaly not ADA accessible.

Sites here are $34 for non-hookup sites, and if you can get one of the prime ocean view ones, it’s well worth it. A lot of the other sites have somewhat of an ocean view as well, but there is a line of sites where you would pull in parallel to the site, and that come with a great ocean view. These are mostly reserved though. This campground is operated by American Land and Leisure, there are trash dumpsters here, bathrooms, and some water/power sites for $44.

Clean and very pleasant. Great views, best for tent campers. Very tight fit for medium to larger rigs.

Easy to get too from Eugene. Inbetween yachats and walport. Can walk to either. Pacfic Sourdough in Walport is worth a visit. Days open were thursday-saturday. They get a line up. Yummmm. Market in yachats is Sunday. Check if open as it may be seasonal

They have multiple first come sites. Works for us as we cant plan that far ahead. Bathrooms are clean and get cleaned twice a day. Only thing missing would be a shower. Camp hosts are helpful and always around for questions

We had horrible weather and our campsite flooded us out. Not much fun in a vintage trailer. But Jack, the campsite manager, took great care of us. He moved us to a higher location, just in time for the sun to come out. If you can get a site overlooking the beach, that's definitely the way to go. It is a smaller campground but it's clean and well kept. The showers are fine. And, as I said, Jack is great. We'll be back.

About half the sites have ocean views or partial ocean views.  Be careful if your in an RV or trailer as some of the spots are tighter than you would expect. Odd shaped or next to other spots (parallel parking) where another camper might be right up to the edge of your spot making a tight fit.  There are some first come first serve spots and we ended up switching spots to one with more room. 

A few spots with electric and water hookups but most spots are dry camping.  The spots on the back side are deeply wooded and would provide protection from sun on super-hot days, though it doesn't tend to get that hot on the Oregon coast. 
About 1/3 of the sites have good solar and starlink access. 

Close to several coastal towns with lots to do in addition to the close beach access.

It's a small, very pretty campground.  Clean bathrooms. Very dog-friendly campground.  Sites are well-spaced but not intended for very large RVs. Friendly camp hosts, seen around the campground a lot during the day. Campfires are allowed when others are prohibited but check ahead.  The campground was full all the time we were there (8 days). Get your reservation six months in advance, and push that button at the right second, or you will not get the site you want. Verizon cell service is not "fair"; it is very poor, even with a booster.

Great campground! Some of the sites don't have the best tent pad (not level) and some don't have great privacy but it's still worth staying here. The sites that sit along the beach are fantastic. Even the sites that are not beach side on the inside loop are well wooded and have privacy with a little bit of an ocean view. The campground is far enough from the 101 that there's not any highway traffic, only the sound of the ocean. The USFS still lists this as pit toilets but they have plumbing and flush toilets now. Unfortunately, they did not install showers though. The bathrooms were clean. They did sell firewood (we did not buy any so I can not comment on quality). The sites are close enough to get ocean spray, so items do stay damp that are left out.

This campground was exceptionally well-maintained, and easily gets a 5 star review because of its combo of reservable and first come, first serve sites, making it more accessible for last minute plans, or for those of us who don't book 6 months in advance. 

Verizon coverage is definitely spotty here, as it was for much of the areas near to this campground. 

There are some first come, first serve sites with ocean views! Lots of trees that make it feel more remote than it is. Ocean noise somewhat blocks road noise. Blackberries all around!

Although small, Tillicum offered a great spot by the ocean. Not all sites are level so choose wisely.

I enjoyed it. It’s clean, quiet (people noise) and it has an ocean view. Try to stay as close to the ocean side of the campgrounds as possible because the 101 is loud. I like tent camping I don’t care if it’s cold or rainy. It’s just my thing. I love the fact that I can pick my spot and pitch my tent. Some spots are pretty hidden some more open. Doesn’t matter overall very enjoyable I will be back.

Great little campground, some ocean front spots - check muddy camper website to see the best ones, we stayed at #17 which was good for vans, others are better for tents. Clean facilities

After looking for campgrounds from which to see whales and reading the reviews here, we decided to visit Tillicum Beach Campground for our first adventure in our new-to-us travel trailer!  Despite the wind and rain, we enjoyed a lovely peaceful time here.

We had reserved space 46 based on a good review and then realized that we are too long for that site.  30' means 30' (total, truck AND trailer)  SO, we drove around the loop and backed into site 14.  Actually really enjoyed the electricity at that site, so all worked out well.  A bit of an ocean view out the side because no one was parked along the bluff row.  Just across the road from the north path to the beach.

We didn't actually go down to the beach as the tide was in each time we went out, and the walk across the rocks in the wind and rain didn't seem too prudent.  

Park was nicely kept and bathroom was clean.  I'd recommend this small quiet spot , even in the winter!

Clean bathrooms and a beautiful view, but the campsite are very close to each other.

We were lucky enough to snag a first-come-first-serve spot across the street from the ocean.  Tillicum is a small, one-loop campground with 2 very clean flush toilet bathrooms.  We were only a few steps away from the path down to the beach and a short drive down to Yachats and the beautiful Cape Perpetua area or north to Waldport and Newport.

The spots up closer to the road are more shaded and have some road noise.  The view from the spot across from the sites on the ocean was great though direct views were obstructed by parked RVs.  

We had one night of fog and chill, the other 2 nights were temperate and pleasant.  Warmer than our camping trips on the North Oregon coast.

This campground as many first come first serve sites. This is super handy for spontaneous camping adventures. It is beautiful with sites that are close to the beach. It was so nice to sleep and be able to hear the beach.

We loved this campground! We had a reservation the first night back in the trees, but then got a bluff spot for the two following nights. Amazing views, sounds of the ocean, mist. It was truly amazing. Close to Yachats which was a super cute town, and Thor’s Well wasn’t too far either. Loved it!

This site is just off the 101 and right next to a beautiful stretch of beach. Though you can't see the ocean from most of the campsites, the ocean makes its presence known by filling your ears with its lovely crashing waves. The site has very clean bathrooms with flushing toilets. Lots of vegetation surround most of the sites as well. Some aren't as private as others, but that's to be expected. Very popular site, mostly or completely full even on weekdays.

Amazing beachfront spot - we pulled up late at night without a reservation and there were available spots for $26 a night and hook ups for $33 (from memory might be a few dollars off).

Chilly but worth it!

I stayed at this campground for 2 nonconsecutive nights on a road trip up and down the Oregon coast. 

I booked online, which is always convenient, but in late March that was unnecessary. There were plenty of vacancies and I saw multiple groups sign up as they arrived. I was car camping, but there were plenty of spots for RVs and campers as well. 

The campsites were spacious with a picnic table and fire ring. There is also very easy access to the beach, especially if you are on the side of the loop closer to the ocean (otherwise it's only a few minute walk away). I was in site 9 one night (great!) and site 12 another (honestly wouldn't recommend as much, it was muddy and a little sloped).

The bathrooms are very nice, and it was easy to find the water spigots. 

Overall a great experience!

Very nice, small camp. Bathrooms with running water/flush toilets. Everything tidy and clean! Super beach access with wide open space.

This campground has multiple beach front campsites with amazing views of a sandy, surf heavy part of the OR coast. Short driving distances to Yachats (check out Yachats Brewing for incredible food, kombucha, and fermentables of all sorts!), Cape Perpetua, multiple state parks all make this a great spot to stay. All sites have picnic tables and fire pits. Many sites that are off the beach also have full rv hookups. My favorite place to stay. Site 17 is nearly perfect! Every site is a less than 5 minute walk to the beach.

I chose this campground because it met my needs for an overnight stay on a drive home and was so surprised of how nice it was. The sites felt private with bushes and hedges separating them and the beach front sites looked wonderful! The campground has easy access to a beautiful beach that felt very empty for the beginning of a holiday weekend!
