This county-managed RV park operates from a marina setting with three distinct camping areas and rates starting around $32 for dry camping in a paved parking lot. The main RV park section runs approximately $73 per night with full hookups, while an annex area offers a mid-tier option at about $53 nightly. Reservations are available, and Good Sam plus veteran discounts apply.
The facility functions essentially as a large parking area with no privacy between sites, though campers gain direct marina access and views of the Yaquina Bay Bridge. Mary K. notes "you can hear the sea lions barking up a storm," adding to the working waterfront atmosphere. The property sits adjacent to Rogue Brewery's headquarters, providing walkable dining and entertainment options.
Fishing and crabbing opportunities draw many visitors, with a public pier available for angling directly from the campground. The Oregon Coast Aquarium lies within walking distance, and downtown Newport's shops and restaurants are easily accessible. A bus stop on-site connects campers to transportation around town. Cell service can be spotty with some carriers, and WiFi quality receives mixed reviews from guests.
Facilities include restrooms, laundry, and shower buildings that campers consistently describe as well-maintained. Hot showers cost $1.50 for five minutes, while cold showers are free. The site includes dump stations and dumpsters, though recycling is not provided. Blaine B. suggests visitors "try your luck at crabbing or fishing off the pier" during their stay.
Summer months see the facility reach capacity, while spring and fall offer more availability. Those seeking additional options can explore places to camp around Newport or consider South Beach State Park Campground just over a mile south for a more traditional camping experience.
