If you have kids, and/or just like to immerse yourself in the history of the area you're camping in, Fort Stevens State Park is the right place. 

For the casual state park camper: Tons of campsites with a variety of size and accommodation options, rentable cabins and yurts, excellent bathroom and shower facilities, close to the ocean, and bike paths galore. 

For the history buff: The wreckage of the Peter Iredale; year-round military displays at the military museum and information center; the only Civil War-era earthen fort on the west coast; multiple turn-of-the-century, concrete artillery gun batteries; underground tours of a gun battery that served as a World War II command center. Fort Clatsop, the last encampment of Lewis and Clark's Corps of Discovery before embarking on their return trip east to St. Louis.

This area offers incredible dispersed camping opportunities alongside West Eagle Creek south of the West Eagle Meadows trailhead on NF-77 (aka Eagle Creek Rd). Just drive down the road and explore the many turnoffs to find one that suits your needs. Don’t forget to leave time for a day hike up to Echo Lake!

Found this campsite on a lark while exploring the Hells Canyon area for a place to stay for a few days. There are a few dedicated sites that appear to be tent-only, as well as some areas for dispersed camping. Great views down the Snake River and of the canyon walls, two vault toilets, and a nice breeze made this an excellent two-day stay!

This was a really fun, small, out of the way campground. Pretty basic amenities (vault toilets, beaten up boat ramp) and generously sized and well-spaced campsites. The lake is gorgeous and the views of Bachelor, Broken Top and South Sister are excellent.
