Spots in Oregon Coast

map viewlist view

  • Cape Perpetua Campground
  • Siuslaw National Forest, Florence OR
  • lovely spot in the valley beneath the cape. Lots of little hikes, and the rocky coast.

  • Whittaker Creek
  • Bureau of Land Management (BLM), Florence OR
  • pleasant, quiet campground. off the road across a little bridge, on the creek.

  • Humbug Mountain State Park
  • Oregon State Parks, Port Orford OR
  • Driven past many times, finally stopping! Good news: It's in a lush, peaceful crevice in the mountains along a little burbling stream which opens onto a driftwood-strewn beach 1/2 mile away. Bad news: US 101, also runs through the same narrow crevice so you rarely hear the burbling stream. You hear semis rocketing past 40 yards away all night. In the summer, you can camp in the Lower Loop, 600 yds from the beach. In the winter you have to walk (or bike!) an extra mile from the Upper Loop.

  • Rock Creek Campground
  • Siuslaw National Forest, Yachats OR
  • east of the highway, by farther than I thought! No hint of the ocean nearby, just the peaceful babbling creek and the mid-growth coastal redwoods. Site 12 is super-sweet as long as no one takes site 11. Those people will cut into my buzz :)

  • Sunset Bay Campground
  • Oregon State Parks, Coos Bay OR
  • really nice park, secluded, very quiet

  • Four Winds Motel
  • private business Depoe Bay OR
  • pretty cheap, had a coupon in the coupon book, on the hill north oflovely downtown Depoe Bay. I enjoyed my stay!

  • Barview Jetty County Park
  • Barview Park, Barview OR
  • really nice little park/campground on the beach

  • Waxmyrtle Campground
  • Oregon Dunes, Suislaw National Forest, Florence OR
  • very restful and quiet, in the piney woods near the dunes. Actually, now I can hear the off-road vehicles in the distance, still restful though. The walk along the river bluff is very nice.

  • Edson Creek Campground
  • Bureau of Land Management (BLM), Port Orford OR
  • 5 miles east of US 101, great find when the beach campgrounds are full on Saturday night.

  • Tillicum Beach Campground
  • Suislaw National Forest, Yachats OR
  • perfect spot to camp for the beach. On a small bluff, so you're camping off the sand in the pines, but the beach is only about 30 steps down the hill. I will come back here.

  • Drift Creek Landing Campground
  • private business Waldport OR
  • A shabby but very comfortable little RV park a few miles up the Alsea River from Waldport. A little landing and a snackbar that was open on Sunday.

  • Cape Blanco Campground
  • Oregon State Parks, Port Orford
  • Bike one way to a lovely lagoon, walk the other way to to beach, nice sites high on the bluffs. A really nice campground.

  • Sunset Cove Campground
  • Deschutes National Forest, Crescent OR
  • Small campground on a little strip of hillside between beautiful Odell Lake and busy Route 58, the through-fare between Eugene and the interior. There's a nice boat launch, fish-cleaning station, some pull-through sites - all the amenities for your grizzled old fisher-dude. Site 15 is a not quite level site facing right on the lake (down a 40' embankment). No sounds but the lapping of the waves and the wind in the trees ... and the semis on Route 58. It faces west. Sunset reflected off the lake and through the trees is spectacular. This would be a perfect place to launch a kayak.

  • Patrick Creek Campground
  • Smith River Recreation Area, Cave Junction OR
  • Small campground on the busy road from Crescent City to Grants Pass. Quaint lodge a few hundred yards away with breakfast and even a bar!

  • Harris Beach State Park
  • Oregon State Parks, Brookings OR
  • deluxe state park. Almost close enough to walk to town, beach and tidepools and trees and grass, pretty much everything

  • Old Town Inn
  • private business Florence OR
  • quiet and pleasant, easy walk to the very cool old bridge and old Florence

  • Chinook Winds Casino
  • private business Lincoln City OR
  • a little blessing for us budget RVers, a casino right on the ocean with a parking lot dedicated to (free) RV parking. The lot is not close to level, which is annoying, but everything else is very user friendly. Can walk to the beach, or any kind of amenity you might want.

  • Miller Bar
  • Suislaw National Forest, Brookings OR
  • 13 miles up the Chetco River from Brookings, then 1/2 miles straight down a steep bluff to the long, wide stony gravel bed which is Miller Bar. The Chetco in front of my site is about 10 inches deep at it's deepest, but about 40' wide. The rocks are covered in bright green algae, but it's not too cold so I had a pleasant horizontal soak. Just drive along the gravel, park wherever you want, and you're home free,

  • Beachside
  • Oregon State Parks, Waldport OR
  • For me, this functions as a high end Tillicum overflow lot. Tillicum was full at 2:30 on a Tuesday, so for a $9 upgrade I get showers and that state park experience. Site 13 is at a busy corner. The trash and recycling are 30' away. It's nicely shielded, but still... My overall experience here was great!

  • Sutton Campground
  • Suislaw National Forest, Florence OR
  • Nice clean bathroom, no shower, near 101 but quiet, 20 yards out of the campground you're in the sand dunes

  • Windy Cove Campground
  • Douglas County Parks, Winchester Bay OR
  • There are two separate campgrounds, Windy Cove A and B. A is the closer to civilization. B has two loops, one of those loops is no-hookups, my loop! Very nice showers, well-mowed, easy walk to the marina, and such stores and restaurants as there are in Winchester Bay. I covered the town from one end to the other then ended up at the local bar for two beers. Checkout time is 11AM, which just isn't right! I have dawdled till nearly noon and no one has hassled me.
