Older Park

We were within the length limit of the pad, however, the approach to the site was really tight. Growth encroached on the approach to the pad, and we found we could not make the turn. I’ve been backing trailers for 20+ years could not fit.

A compliment to the staff, the agent looked for any cancellation but everything was full. This got them the 3 star instead to 1 star rating.

It’s an older park built for smaller trailers, ignore the length of the pad. Think can I make a tight turn?

Fun little campground

I had a full service site, water, 30amp, sewer. I also had a walking path directly next to my site and there were so many people using it. Also, there's an animal called a Nutria. Sounds like a supplement but looks like a cross between a beaver and a rat. The ADA shower room left alot to be desired in the form of a bench to sit on...more of a perch. But the water was hot with great pressure.

Excellent

We stayed for 2 nights in Loop C. Campground was tidy, quiet, and fairly private from our neighbors. Camp host left a small bundle of wood for us when we arrived which was nice. Restrooms were clean and well stocked. Not many people on the lake probably due to time of year (mid October), but weather was great.

Fun spot in town.

We've stayed here before and really enjoyed it. This time was another great trip. The campground is in Lincoln City but feels like you're in the woods. There is a huge lake on site and enough trees that you don't feel like Safeway is 10 minutes away. There were a lot of barking dogs in the campgrounds this time, but we were able to ignore them for the most part. Very kid friendly location and the spots are very clean and well managed. The bathroom/shower situation was clean and convenient. We love to get Tie-Dye Pizza and Jays Fish and Chips every time we're in town.

Perfect Jump Off Point

We loved our stay here. Excellent location with the ability to access the lake, walk to the ocean, or just hang out on site. The sites can be a little tight but the use of hedges and trees creates a nice barrier between you and your neighbors. Would visit again.

Everything you need

For being kind of in the middle of town, this campground has all the nature you need. It's in a weird corner, squished between Hwy 101, Devil's Lake, and the ocean. But when you drive out you are right back in the middle of town. It was raining most of the weekend we were there, and our tent was squished in between two yurts (C31) that had big groups camping in them. But they were quiet. Many of the tent sites were closed because they were flooded from all of the recent rain. Our spot was a littles squishy in the table and fire pit area, but we stayed off that.

The bathroom was close, and had both a hot and a cold water knob! So many of these state park places just have the one push button and you get whatever temp comes out. So the showers and bathrooms are clean and roomy. 

I think you could technically have pizza delivered to your campsite here since it is so close to town. But I didn't try it.

Small park in a great location

This is a small park and the sites are pretty close together.  The campground is very clean and well maintained and full of wildlife.  We saw deer, ducks, geese, etc. all from our fire pit.  Location is super convenient to explore Lincoln city, the beach and the lake. Regatta park is about a mile away and has an awesome playground for kids.

My new favorite campground.

I fell in love with this campground this year.

Lincoln City is a great community, and in the middle of the best of everything on the oregon coast.

This campground is decently spaced out, so you feel like there is privacy. Within a minute, you are intown and at shops and other amenities.

Overall great experience.

Nice, but could be better

Campground was cozy and clean. Sites are packed in pretty close together but there is still a sense of privacy. Our spot was right in front of the bathrooms. We had toddlers with us, so this was actually nice. Bathrooms were spotless!! My only complaint is that there is no way to swim in the lake. We came with this intention of swimming in the lake, but quickly found out the only lake access from the campground is from the boat docks. Still, the ocean and D river are close enough to make it worth while.

Beach, Lake, Lincoln City

Devils Lake campground is an easy drive from Oregon wine country (Newberg/McMinnville). It tends to fill up quickly, so best to book weeks/months in advance. The campground has mooring slips at a small dock on the lake, and also a kayak launch. The lake is lovely for early morning kayaking, paddling, or skiing. The lake itself is only 12-14 feet at the deepest, so water stays relatively warm. It’s an easy walk across the highway and over to the ocean at the D River. The campsites have full hookups, clean restrooms, and hot showers. There were lots of families with kids and dogs! Yet, everyone quiets down quickly at night.

Close to Lincoln City

The campground is actually right in town, just a short drive off 101. The traffic can be loud, but it's a pretty nice campground. I had full hook ups with sewer, water and electric. 

The campground hosts were super nice and helpful. The lake can only be accessed from a dock. There is no shoreline in the campground. There's a day use area, but it's clear across on the other side of the lake. Hard to put canoes or kayaks in as there is no parking near the dock. You'd have to drive across to the other side of the lake.

I didn't use the restrooms. Some of the sites were closed due to flooding. Some of the tent sites looked super close to one another. My site was decent.

Hiker/Biker site is pretty good

Stayed here on a bike tour. Typical group site for a hiker/biker group. The flaws were that the site was up a hill from the rest of the campground, and the showers/bathrooms were a fair distance from the campsite (down the hill).

Otherwise, they had hot showers, and the price was right ($5)!

Close to the lake and the beach and town

No lake views here, but there is access down a long point/dock for non motorized(kayaks) boats. The staff was very friendly and helpful and the campground was super clean. Best part was the No Generators rule!!! It is kinda loud as you are really close to the highway and on the edge of a busy town, but if you can get a tent site in the tent only area (towards the back with lots of trees) or a hookup site along the back, it’s not too bad. And you can hear the ocean.

We love Devil's Lake

We have been to Devil's Lake many times.  We have tent camped in the summer and stayed in the yurts during winter break.  It's a great campground.

The entrance is right in Lincoln City, so you're close to lots of things to do as well as stores to shop at if you forgot any supplies.

There's both the ocean and the lake nearby so there is plenty of recreation opportunity.

The campground was closed at the height of the pandemic, but it is open for use again and filling up for summer.

Definitely recommend.

Family campground

Not sure what these reviews are about, since I live a 15-minute walk from The Devil's Lake Campground. It is a very popular Campground for families oh, it is a safe Campground, and although we have a lot of Travelers and coming through every summer, some of which are people hiking the Oregon Coast Trail so unless you look at their gear you might assume that they're homeless when they're really not. The campground was closed during covid do to funding shortages but is now open. It is very clean and well-maintained, not my style of camping however the spaces are fairly decently sized and it's a typical State Park. Put your head on her lap there isn't any sketchy businesses that I'm aware of, there is a cultural center in an art gallery plus the tourist strip of small shops. The weather here in the winter is brutal so the paint takes a beating. People love this campground with close proximity to the beach, river and a lovely playground, swim area at Devil's Lake just a few minutes drive away.

Best way to stay in Lincoln City!

If you love the beach and are too cheap for a motel, this is your place! 

You're not roughing it and won't feel too much privacy, a busy year round family friendly campground. The loop usually has walkers in the early AM and kids on bikes the rest of the day.  We've stayed here probably 6 times in the last two years and never had a complaint, even pregnant.

Devils Lake is right there next to you, the dock is lovely at sunrise and there is easy kayak access if you packed your banana boat. There are fish in that lake! 

If you don't have a kayak or boaty device there is a rental place across the lake... the name escapes me but it's the only one there so easy to spot.

Sites are large enough for two medium tents or one large, driveways even on tent sites will accommodate an RV if your in-laws arrive last minute in their Winnebago.

If you forget your coffee press, Dutch Bros is a 5 minute walk away and open early/late. 

Plenty of firewood for sale on site. 

Bathrooms are large and kept clean, the pathways are still navigable at night when you thought your cell phone would provide enough light.

The campground is close enough that you can hear the ocean some nights though not always on account of the raccoon traffic coursing through the grounds. 

This should go without saying - but my younger brother had to learn the hard way, racoons can and will unzip your tent if you've got snacks inside. 

If you've got a curry in your tent, they will unzip your tent, pop that sucker open and express their disappointment by smearing little racoon curry paws all over the inside making your tent smell like and look like a diaper - this was a very educational trip for that brother.

City camping in Lincoln City

We stay here because we can do some Rockhounding on the Lincoln City beaches. Despite being located in a busy Oregon Coast tourist town, it isn’t that noisy. It can flood in the fall and spring months, their rainy seasons. There is usually a camp host or two where you can get help or firewood. The sites aren’t that private although native Rhododendrons and others often divide the sites. What I like the best are the free hot showers and an outside sink to wash your dishes. There are standard (no hookups) and hookup sites with water, wastes water and power. There off season rates available for less cost. We paid $21 for a standard no hookup site the last time we were there in April, 2018.

Welcome to Partytown.

Devil's Lake State Park Rec Area Campground (it's a mouthful) is right on the edge of town. That is convenient if you're trying to access things in town. It really sucks if you're trying to actual "camp". This is a party spot for local ruffians, and an RV parking lot for people who want to get away without losing any sort of amenities whatsoever.

The Hiker/Biker area is just a little patch of grass on a hill just inside the entrance to the left. The hill makes it hard to find any flat ground for a tent, and you are adjacent to a road to the north and a single family home to the east. The coast highway is a block to your west. Basically, it is a lawn. 

There is lake access but the lake is more of a pond. Ocean access is across the highway about 15 minute walk. You can also just walk into town for a beer if you want. Being so close to town makes it an easy place for people to go and get rowdy too. 

The camp hosts here have given up on enforcing any sort of rules in the park. There were people openly doing drugs. The site across from the host had a keg and set up speakers blasting some terrible classic rock. On a trip the the bathroom I saw the camp host looking out the window at the loudest site in camp, and then just pull his shade in the RV down. And not even joking, at one point a group (college age?) woke me up with shouting as they cheered on their friend who was getting laid in the tent. Another group was doing night skateboarding through the park in loops.

However, if you're just passing through you'll have everything you need to get through the night here including a hot shower, bike tools, and charging station. 

I gave this place two stars because the amenities are there. If based on my experience alone it would be zero, but I am sure there are days when it is fine.

Amenities: 

  • free hot showers
  • storage boxes with USB charging stations for phones and lights
  • Picnic Tables
  • bike racks
  • bike repair station
  • flush toilets
  • Wetlands nature trail
  • lending library

Oregon Hiker/Biker Camps are $7-8 (this one is $8)

Pro-Tip: If you're heading south stop at Big Mountain Coffee Roastery. It is decent, a little kitschy, and has AC/Wifi. Plus it is a very small, local business to support.
