Perfect campsite all around, great host, adequate amenities for a campsite in the bush, and the best tasting drinking water in the state!
CAUTION: the lizard pictured is the rough skinned newt it is very common and easy to catch at the river at this campsite, however it is poisonous and should be admired from a distance! If your kids end up catching one just make sure they wash their hands thoroughly, the poison needs to be ingested to take effect!
The campground is pretty much perfect. They're county campgrounds, so first come first served. Teri is an excellent host, and has reasonably priced firewood for sale. A well pump ( old fashioned kind), bathrooms are available. Beautiful spot on Nehalem River. County campgrounds are better spaced sites, and are not as hectic as state campgrounds. Between my crutches, and wheelchair I got around fine. Great place!!
I love this campground. Ive been coming here sense I was little, the people that camp here are always friendly and respectable, they sell fire wood in the mornings and use a wheel barrow to take it to your camp, and are very generous, have never had any problems here ever, the creek is very nice and shallow in most areas, great places to catch crawdads. Its not too far from the beach if you decide you wanna spend a day in seaside, theres a coffee shop down the road if thats just the kinda person you are, theres a road that goes up to a nice little lake with a trail that goes all the way around. A great place to get away for a few days and rates are affordable
Hadn't camped here in literally 26 years....went with a friend for the weekend, it's as lovely as it was all those years ago. Well worth the drive from anywhere, clean and oh so beautiful....was a perfect weekend. Right on the Nehalem river, so peaceful. Already planning my next visit ❤️
Great spot for some camping.
Couple trails to walk around. Right on the river.
Sites are well maintained with a great staff.
Crawfish all over the river.
I didn't find a really good spot to fish on the river. 4 miles or from the camp site you can go to lost lake.
