The best camping near Astoria with horseback riding

·

Pacific Northwest gem Astoria sits on Oregon's famed North Coast. The Columbia River, just to the north, marks the natural boundary between Oregon and Washington state.

If you're a military history buff, check out the nearby Fort Stevens State Park. It sits on the Oregon Coast just west of Warrenton. The fort was in service as a defense installation from the Civil War to World War II eras. Today you can check out abandoned command centers and see century-old gun batteries. Don't miss the area's dramatic wreckage of the Peter Iredale, which ran aground in 1906.

The 4,300-acre park includes over 500 campsites. The trout fishing is excellent in freshwater Coffenbury Lake. The mighty Columbia River draws in a diverse cross-section of wildlife, too. Expect to see majestic bald eagles swoop in now and then.

Traveling by RV? There are several solid choices among area RV parks. Try Lewis and Clark RV Park or Kampers West. Both provide full hookups and cabin/cottage rentals.

The weather here is rarely uncomfortably hot or cold. Average highs are in the upper 60s in the summer and mid-50s for the winter. Like much of the Pacific Northwest, Astoria sees a lot of rainfall. Pack accordingly when planning a multi-day hiking excursion!

We have a 1/2 acre property on the Cowlitz River in the middle of Cooks Ferry Park in Castle Rock WA. We bought the property to relax in a beautiful setting close to home. We only live 15 minutes away. The property is made up of dredge spoils from when Mt. Saint Helens blew and is inside of a park where people can go to fish and enjoy the river. There are only 8 lots privately owned and we are the first lot that you come to. There is plenty of room for an RV. Guests can also tent camp or stay in our shack that has a sleeper sofa. There are snacks, a sign in book, an axe, briquets, a fire extinguisher, and other items the shack. ​There is a picnic table, fire pit, BBQ, and wood stove. There is a porta potty on the property. We value your privacy. We do have cameras on the property that are on when no one is there. Once a Hipcamper arrives at the property, they are turned off. We also keep our travel trailer there to enjoy when we can. We will never be there camping when you are there. In the summer, we sometimes kayak. We put in upriver and get out at the property. If it is booked at that time, we will always check first to see if it is okay for us to get out there. If you continue going past our property, there are some nice rock beaches with pretty views. People fish there and wade in the water in the summer. Castle Rock is a cute little town with some nice shops, restaurants and bars. I recommend checking it out! We are not picky about check in/check out time. It would only matter if someone else was checking in the day you are checking out. Please ask if you expect to arrive earlier or want to check out later. If your plans change, please cancel through Hipcamp to get a refund.
