so much fun!

We stayed at Detroit Lake in the summer of 2020 when we were desperate for things to do that were even open.

Our campsite was right on the lake and near one of the boat docks.  The campground is in a beautiful forest and the breeze off the lake made the hot summer temperatures bearable.

We rode our bikes through the various camp loops and played a little at the playground as well.

I believe this campground may have been affected by the wildfires that swept through the state at the end of last summer.  I do not know how much damage may have occurred.

beautiful campground with bonus waterfall hikes

Silver Falls is awesome to visit and the campground is great if you have the opporunity to stay for a day or two.

Beautifully forested and close to the waterfalls, the campground has all the features you could need.  Tent sites, rv sites, and cabins.  It's very popular and can sometimes be hard to find a reservation.

Big campground near the dunes

Honeyman is a great campground.  It is quite large with at least half a dozen loops of campsites.  The sites include everything from basic campsite up to yurts.

There is a great playground near the center of camp and the nearby day use area has dune access for climbing and playing as well as a small lake.

Pre-pandemic it was possible to rent kayaks and paddleboats to use on the lake.  I don't know if that has opened back up yet or not.

We have been many times and look forward to another trip there later this year.

another great Oregon beach campground

We love Beveryly Beach.  It's a beautiful campground.  Easy to get to.  Great access to the beach.  There's a trail that goes around the outside of the entire campground that was pretty fun to take our kids on.

We have only stayed in a tent site, but the yurt loop looks great too and I hope to visit again to try them someday.

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.

Love this beach campground!

This is a beautiful park.  We've stayed here several times over the years.  My favorite is when I am able to snag a cabin reservation, but tent camping is also very pleasant here.  We're headed back later this summer and I can't wait.

The cabins are located near the day use area, but are back in the trees and feel very private.  There used to be only 3, but I believe there are 7 now.  They are all spaced apart from each other to not feel like you are right next to anyone.  Each cabin has a separate living room space, bedroom, and bathroom with shower, sink, and toilet.  The living room space also has a sink, a microwave, and a small fridge.  The cabins each have a gas grill on the porch as well.

It's about 50-60 yards through to trees to the beach, so the views from the front rooms and porches is amazing!  It's like the best compromise between camping and a motel.  The price is right and the location can't be beat.

We have also enjoyed tent camping many times as well.  The campsites are well maintained and it's easy to get to the beach from camp.

Definitely recommend this campground.

Beautiful beach camping

Love this campground!  We go every couple of years for a family campout at the coast.  The beach here is beautiful and we've always had a good experience in the campground.  Some sites are better than others and we've had trouble with wind in certain loops, but overall it's been a fantastic experience every time.

There's a great playground area with fun trees nearby for climbing in and exploring.  The campground makes a nice bike riding loop to keep the kids entertained as well.

Last time we went, we utilized the 3rd party service for horseback rides on the beach.  They operate out of the day use area and it was a really fun experience.  I don't know if they are still operating as the last time we were there was prior to the pandemic.

Beautiful campground

Fort Stevens is a fantastic state park facility.  The campground is large and extensive with options for every kind of camper from tent spaces to yurts.  

There are lots of trails to ride bikes on and nearby beaches to relax and enjoy.  As well as a few places with military history displays.

We've seen elk right in the campground happily munching on grass as campers walk and ride bikes nearby.

Hidden gem

We decided to try our luck looking for a last minute campsite on a holiday weekend.   After several stops, we stumbled across this campground and happily discovered that they had spaces available.   

We agreed to reserve the available tent site for the weekend sight unseen and we have been so happily surprised by the entire experience. 

Our campsite is spacious and relatively private with lots of trees and shrubbery around the perimeter.   We're just a short walk from the beach access and it's a great section of beach.

In walking and riding around we have found that there are a great number of good campsites here, both is size and privacy. 

Some of the roads and paths are not paved and that could be a downside for some, but didn't bother us.

Near the center of the campground is a large RV/camper area that is much like a huge parking lot with picnic tables and fire pits next to each space.  I would not enjoy that type of camping,  but our tent site is far away from that area, so it didn't bother us. 

The bathrooms are clean, but the showers were closed due to COVID restrictions. 

There is also a large playground near the center of camp.

The nearby day use are connects to a long jetty sticking out into the ocean at the end of the beach section.   Many people come here to fish.
