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.

Hurlys Hideaway

18mi from Nehalem Bay Campground · 9 sites · Tents, RVs · Tillamook, OR

Please be careful when using Google maps, for whatever reason it has taken several people to other places other than mine. I posted a picture of the entrance of my property, hopefully this will help. Hurlys Hideaway is a very nice location located approximately 2 miles from the town of Tillamook. Very close to the beach Sand Lake various Rivers for fishing kayaking swimming Etc. Approximately 4 MI from Netarts Oceanside area, Netarts Bay, Cape Mears. A very nice location to be able to access all of these activities in Tillamook County. My land is Timber, some clearings, we'll see how this goes I'm just getting started. Also, I just learned that the transient tax for Tillamook Oregon is an additional 10% and I hate to do this but I'm going to have to raise my prices $5. If you are coming from Town, I'm 2 mi. from the hospital west on hwy. 131. Look for the purple Minnesota Vikings bus shack. I also put up a hipcamp sign just up my driveway a bit. If you are coming from the south on Fraiser road, turn right when you come to hwy. 131. I'm less than a quarter mile on your left. Also a heads up lately I've had a few people that are having a hard time booking and I learned from another camper if you're staying one night you actually have to select two days it includes the day you check out I just experienced that with another camper so just a bit information I don't know if hip camp changed something or what, but if you're staying one night select two days and it'll work.

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.
