Description

Camping at Nehalem Bay State Park means getting to have your cake and eat it too. You want to start your evening walking distance from an ocean sunset? Check. You want to stroll from your tent to a dock by the bay and dangle your feet in the water while you watch dawn shade the mountains? Check. You want paved bike trails and roaming deer and singing birds and toilets and showers and firepits and nice flat campsites? Check. A lively, picturesque beach town, a short bike ride away? Hidden river spots and mountain summit trails? Check and check. Anything else? Hopefully Nehalem Bay Campground’s 306 site options (including 18 yurts and horse 17 horse sites) will do the trick.

Great dunes to hide behind from the wind!! Great for beach walks and a retreat into the forest for night time campfires!

If you're looking for a stunning sunset then this is your spot. Since it is such a big campground the beach never seems crowded. They have boat launch, group camping, and a horse camp. You can even pay to ride horses on the beach! Manzanita is a sleepy coastal town nearby, last summer we rode bikes there from the campground.

Large Campground, lots of paved bike trails, plenty of hiking trails. Located on the northern Oregon coast so bring warm jackets and the beach tends to be very windy here.
