It was great to go in the Fall as the summer rush is over, but there was still good weather. Place was clean and the staff was polite and helpful with our last minute reservation.

Our friends have stayed here a few times for razor clam digging and seemed fine with it, so we tried it. We stayed 2 nights during a mid-November clam dig. There is a string of long-term campers and a string of short-term spots. It was really empty, so there were no close neighbors. I could see how it would be overly snug during a busy session with how close the sites are together. You literally have enough room for a slide out and 5 feet or so to the next site's picnic table. The covered fish cleaning station was very nice to clean clams. It's an older looking campground but we were happy with it.

Oregon is well known for it's magnificent state parks, and this is no exception. The campground is huge, probably some 400+ spaces; well cared for & clean, with an abundance of hiking trails & historical sites to explore. Unfortunately in May, the mosquitos were out in full force in the campground. This campground serves as an excellent base camp to explore the northern Oregon coast and southern
Washington coast
GuideA bit crowded and the sites are a bit close together but its a nice campground.

I had researched this park quite awhile beforehand and was interested based on the reviews posted here. It looked pretty nice. Unfortunately when we were able to preview it by driving through I was surprised to find out it was not at all what I had seen in reviews. This place is on the edge of a small town and it looks like it is occupied by long term tenants with a lot of paraphernalia and personal belongings strewn about. For us, traveling for vacation and sightseeing it would not be a place we'd wanna stay. We did have dinner and really enjoyed it in the little town of Vernonia where it is located and that was great. The park is also adjacent to a fantastic walking biking trail and it's next to a city park.
Scout
The owner, the place, and all of its contents are absolutely dreadful; Before i left i learned that she (Sue Hart) has several lawsuits out against her from previous tenants for various shady unlawful behavior, among them being conning people with bs electric bills and refusing to keep her shit boxes up to standard for human beings to be in, one man died from a fire that occured there which went under investigation and I remain unsure of the outcome of that but the trailer that i was temporarily in caught fire from the outside and the maintenence man just happened to pass by noticing it and alerted us thank god and when it got back to Sue she had the nerve to try to blame myself and my elderly mother for it saying we had too much plugged in and running at once when we did not! .. Place absolutely reeks of cat piss and wood rot, please don't waste your money on this overpriced meth market with a total creepo as her right hand man for a "security guard" of the park whose "office" is located right and i mean RIGHT by the ladies showers… uhh, how that is even a thing is beyond me but watch yourselves and your young kids- the pedo vibes are real so enter at your own risk.. but honestly, just please don't.. much love 🙏
Scout
This is a good place and being right by the water was fun.

Unless you manage to get one of the nice spots, you’re essentially paying a premium to park on grass with no privacy. It’s a beautiful area: but pick your site wisely.
ScoutCouldn’t get any cellular signal

Nice little spot. Free hot showers. $20 for a tent site. Some of the tent sites to choose from were really small or not level but we got lucky with what we thought was the best site (B-10)
ScoutThe campground is easy to get to and thanks to the staff has a lot of unique amenities like you can fish in Silver Lake from your motel room or rent a variety of boats for the day.
GuideThere is so much to do here and every time I've been to Ft. Stevens, we just scratch the surface. We were down here in August as the last stop on our family vacation and we discovered a whole section of the park we didn't know was there! This time, it was just me and my kiddo. We came down for a rally put on by a PNW based group of the brand trailer I own. The majority of the group was in loops O and N, though there were some of us (myself included) in other parts of the campground. I ended up in loop M, which has full hook-ups so that was nice. This was my first rally and it was my first big solo trip with just me and my kiddo. The sites in loop M do seem sort of close together depending on where you are in the loop. There are also a lot of trees, which could contribute to that feeling. My back-in site, M04, was partially secluded with a row of shrubs between M04 and M05 and some shrubs and trees behind me. I could see the road and the yurt village from my back window. There is also a paved trail that goes along side the road. If you go down into loop O, there is little trail that takes you over to the south parking area of Coffenbury Lake where you can pick up the 2 mile dirt trail around the lake. FYI...no matter how fancy your fancy all terrain running stroller might be, it won't work on this trail. Never fear though, there are plenty of paved bike trails that will get you throughout the park! The only reason I am giving 4 starts instead of 5 is because I have a toddler that likes playgrounds. The only playground is in the north campground. It wasn't a long walk, but there were no paved trails which put us in the bike lane of the main road going into and out of the campground. When it is busy, there are a lot of big vehicles going in and out. It would have been nice to have a playground in the south campground or have a continuation of the paved path next to the road. Verizon phone service is meh. I had no issues calling or texting my husband, anything else was spotty as I had one or two bars. While I don't go camping to scroll about on the internet, I do have a toddler that has a much earlier bedtime than me so it's nice to be able to catch up on social media or put in some earbuds and watch a movie on my phone or watch youtube. Couldn't do any of that.

Definitely missing Angie but we have so many fond memories she still brings joy to our lives. we were without a dog for several years and we were afforded the opportunity to adopt a standard poodle last year and he has been the joy of our lives, so keep in mind you can bring another wonderful friend into your life, @block blast

I just came across this spot off a fire road going up the mountain from cook creek campgrounds
Scout
It was the only one campground open in town, so no choice. The campground is beautiful, but amenities are bad. Showers are all broken, and dirty. There is only one faucet working at the dish sink. But people are nice, and helpful.
ScoutEasy to get to. Just 1 mile from the Mount St Helens visitor center. Right on Silver Lake with a perfect view of Mount St Helens. The place was clean and quiet. Employees were helpful and courteous. Lots of ways to stay. Motel rooms, cabins, RV and tent spaces.

Really nice, mellow, low key RV & tent campground..“nice” as in comfortable and welcoming to all, not as in the amenities. The place itself is somewhat run down, but still functional and fine. We got spot #30, which was an unlevel back-in site. We were told all sites are FHU, but I couldn’t figure out how to get the sewer cap off, if that’s what it was. I didn’t bother to ask about it, as we didn’t need to dump yet.
With taxes and all we paid about $50 for a night for that site. We didn’t have reservations and there was plenty of availability. Free showers, which we didn’t use, laundry is $1.50 for wash and $2.00 for dry. There are also cabins on site, a huge rec room with an arcade game, a TV, kitchen, and a book exchange. Cell service was a little weak but their free wifi was nice.
They also bake bread on site! Not sure what that was about or if it’s for sale, but they were baking when we walked in to the office and it smelled great. The walk to the beach was a pleasant roughly 0.25 mile one. Cars drive straight on the beach so watch your dogs.
There is recycling here and they do take glass but cans must be uncrushed and bar code must be readable, and no soup cans accepted :(
LegendWe stayed in loop D, site 189, which I chose because I thought it would be nice to have a spot right on the lake. I wish I’d chosen one of the sites in the little off shoot roads though, because the lake was not visible and not very accessible, and the entire row of sites are just sites side by side with zero privacy. It was fine though.
Cell service was very iffy for both Verizon and ATT, but the weBoost helped a lot. Lots of nice hikes here in this park, and the beach is a short walk away. The bathhouse for this loop has flush toilets and one shower for the whole loop. The shower was free and the water was nice and hot. The shower was so dirty and gross but what are you gonna do.
Water spigots throughout campgrounds and there’s a free dump and water fill station in the park.

We were treated in a discriminatory manner by the upper management. We felt extremely let down by how they behaved, since the main office worker, Jackie, had been very nice & professional.
Miranda, on the other hand,.. I do not recommend doing business with her. She looked down her nose at our RV, even though it is in great shape, only requiring a couple of easy updates that we had already explained how we were planning on dates to accomplish said updates.
Especially since, as you peruse the park, you see Multiple campers in violation of posted park rules, and much older & crummier looking RVs than we own, in much worse disrepair. Also, when Miranda called to deny us the spot, she began our phone call in a deceitful way, in fact lining me up to level the blow of rejection. Miranda is not kind at all, and treated my husband & I unfairly. We do Not recommend staying here.
Scout
The "cabins" are essentially shed conversions on a flatbed and wheels that rock and sway. Not ada accessible. They have electricity but no insulation and the water reeks of sulfur. The loft style beds seem like they are for children.
The host Joann is money hungry and inflexible. Be sure to get travel insurance and read all rules and reviews on other platforms prior to stay to be well informed of issues and not be blindsided by uncharges here. She will enter your space as she sees fit. There are no boundaries for her but tons for guests with rule signage plastered everywhere on the grounds.
Campground is covered in rabbit feces, so parents with small children beware. I would never stay here again. For the headache of dealing with the host alone it made the entire experience one of an utterly uncomfortable inconvenience.
This place looks nice from an outside view but staying here is an entirely different story.
Also the fact that a Joanna left a 5 star reviews here when all other platforms have complaints is a bit questionable.

We went there to have close access to Ocean Beach to go landsailing with some other friends. Parked our travel trailer and went all over the place in our Ranger. Pity the Restaurant that was active was closed looking for a new owner, but Warrenton and other places aren't far if you want to eat out. Nice sites, borders the training ranges, and nice showers and such when needed. Great places to see, beach is nearby, you have private access by foot to a few areas, (if not precluded by training,) and we will stay here again. The Landsailing, we have a little Blokart, turned out to be awesome and plan to meet up with folks there again. I'm totally comfortable to know I will be camping with other vets and families, that allow you space but are also a hoot to meet, if you're in the mood. The gravel power site was plenty for us. Enjoy what your service earned.
GuideI hadn't been here for years. I forgot how massive this place is...and how nice it is! We got a last minute reservation and ended up with a great site. It's a HUGE set of campgrounds, but it never felt crowded. And you can drive out on the beach and get away too. We sat for a few hours and had maybe 1 car per hour drive by. We were on loop H, which was good and bad. The bathrooms were horrible and needed torn down, but the next loop over was close and had great bathrooms and showers. Also, H didn't have a playground, so it was a little quieter with the kids. Or maybe it was just because we were camping after Labor Day and there were fewer kids in general.
GuideThis campground has it all, nice size spaces, beaches, lots of hiking, biking trails, dirt, and paved. Very quiet, extremely well kept and managed.

I pulled up and it looked abandoned and unsafe—something from a horror movie. The bathroom literally had trash dumped out in front and the some of the campsites were unkept. It's trek to get back there for such disappointment. Left as soon as I could, ended up sleeping at a rest area.
TravelerThis small campground is very far off the 101 so if you are looking for a coastal vibe this is not it. Deeply wooded, green, and beautiful. One side of the campground sits alongside Nehalem river access, on hot days this is a popular hangout so expect to see a lot of people. Vault toilets after a busy summer season were ammonia rich and hard to handle. Trash receptacles and potable water available. (Old school pump) I’ve heard that it stays wet enough back there that this campsite never really has a fire ban, but always check with the camp host, they also sell fire wood. First come first serve campsites Using reserve America online. Do Not confuse this campsite with Nehalem Bay State park when reserving.

The layout of this campground packs sites too close together. It feels more like tailgating in a parking lot than camping. Other than that, this park is pretty great. It's a very short walk to the beach and a stone's throw from Westport. It's even got some decent trails for hiking around a bit. The bathrooms are pretty standard fare for state Park bathrooms, however, the free showers were a great plus.
