Nehalem Bay State Park

Horse camping May 2026 site H10 Nice! Pipe stalls. Potable water at each site. Manure pit nearby. Wheelbarrows too. Clean full flush toilet bathrooms. Showers one camp group over. Dogs on leash allowed in camp. Easy access to the beach.

It seems like all Oregon state parks are very well maintained, situated in really nice places, have good facilities, and are reasonably priced. There is speech access though it is a fairly good hike across the dunes to get there. There are no sewer hookups at the RV camping area sites. The park has a dump station as you first come in so you can empty as needed.

The campground was very nice overall. Easy to find amenities, access to the beach was convenient, clean, organized campsites. Partially covered picnic table on our deck made making meals better. Our only issue (and the one reason we left a day early) was the mattress pads on the bed and fold down couch. They were too hard, my hips would start to ache (I’m a side sleeper). Not everyone will have the same issue, but when it comes to sleep and camping that’s a deal breaker for us.

Beautiful campground. The walk to the beach is very close and easy. Clean bathrooms. The playground was interesting. It is for older kids or adults not really a playground more like an exercise area. We loved the campground overall and we will go back if we can. Wished we had more time to explore the area

I'm camping with a popup trailer at the comfortable, and beautiful Nahalem State Park Campground. Spacious campsites with loads of green level space for tents or for hanging out. Dogs allowed on leash and off-leash at the beach. Thoughtfully set up with places to deposit dog bags and get additional ones as you're walking through. There's a brand new and especially nice bathroom building near my site (D43). Some sites are shaded (which also protects you from the wind on windy days). Both bathroom and shower buildings were clean and well kept. It feels really nice here, and while you have to climb over what amounts to a large sand dune to get to the beach - what a lovely beach it is. This park is far enough from 101 to be very quiet. Prices are much more reasonable than private RV parks. I enjoyed the new looking water and electric hookups (50A, 20A, 110V). There are warm lights that come on by the hookups at dark and add a bit of charm.
