Tillicum Beach Campground
Reviewed May. 3, 2023

Great beach!

General: 59-site campground nestled between Route 101 and the ocean. Some have water and electric, some are reservable, and some are first come, first available. 

Site Quality: Quality varies. Sites closest to the highway will obviously hear road noise so try and get a site on the ocean side! Some are not quite level. IMO, the best sites are 17, 18, 23, 25, 26, 30, 31, 41, and 46. All of these except #46 (which is a back-in site) are parallel to the road (they could be considered pull-through but there is no separation between them so it could be tricky if there are two adjacent large RVs. The ocean view was “blocked” by trees in our site (23) but what it lacked in view had the bonus of a private area surrounded by trees with a new large picnic table and a fire ring. There would also be room to set up a tent in this area. You definitely will HEAR the ocean from any of these sites! 

Bathhouse: Basic but mostly clean with soap and an air dryer. No hot water or showers. 

Activities: There is a beautiful beach perfect for walking or running. Not even sure how far it stretches; we walked for almost a half-mile in one direction before turning around and I could not see the end of it. This campground is a short distance from the town of Yachats with shops and restaurants. 

We were fortunate to be able to make a reservation for an ocean-front site one week in advance and with our Golden Age Pass, it was very reasonably priced! For us, it was a five-star stay but I gave it four stars due to the variability of sites.
