Tillamook Forest Dispersed Camping on the Nehalem River
Reviewed Oct. 10, 2021

Absolutely beautiful, pristine dispersed camping on the Nehalem River

Level spots were a little hard to come by, even on a Thursday, but we eventually found one. Stunning surroundings on the river. Lots of property is private so you need to pay careful attention to signage to ensure you’re camping on forest service land. Peaceful, quiet, and beautiful. We saw a bald eagle down at the river that flew only about 15 feet above the water, and made a return trip before settling in a tall pine tree across the river from us. Our bird dogs were intrigued to say the least.
