The best luxury RV campgrounds near Cannon Beach, Oregon

Popular with day-tripping Portlanders, the coastal community of Cannon Beach offers a delightful mix of boutiques, art galleries, and seafood restaurants, along with easy access to a wide, sandy expanse of Pacific Ocean shoreline. It’s also the site of one of Oregon’s most iconic natural features, Haystack Rock, a basalt sea stack that provides a refuge for seabirds and tufted puffins. While many overnight visitors stay in the town’s many cozy inns, state parks dot the area offering tent and RV camping, either in the forest or right by the beach.

Cannon Beach attracts visitors year-round, though summers are by far the busiest time to visit. If temperatures are high in the Portland area, you’re pretty much guaranteed to encounter crowds, even on weekdays. September weekdays after local schools are back in session offer an ideal mix of relatively pleasant temperatures without big crowds. If you don't mind cooler temperatures, come in the first weekend of November for the annual Stormy Weather Arts Festival’s live music and art demonstrations.

39mi from Cannon Beach · 15 sites · RVs · Ocean Park, WA

This campground was developed in the 1950s by a husband and wife team and later passed to their children. My partner and I were lucky enough to purchase it in Oct 2020 and our goal is to bring it to its original beauty and charm with the most up to date amenities. Long Beach Peninsula has been a family vacation destination for a long time and there's so much fun to be had on every inch of land! Located centrally between Leadbetter Point and Cape Disappointment, we have 16 full hookup RV sites (30 amp power/water/septic/Wifi) close enough to enjoy the fun of Long Beach and Ocean Park, but far enough to retreat to your camp for quiet and relaxation. Hang out in the rec room or at a fire pit, play horseshoes or bocce ball with family, or take a short walk down our dune path to watch the sun set on the ocean.

Stories from the community

This campsite is rather large and is perfect for an RV. There is gravel under the grass. Lots of sun but no shade. This site can also get quite windy in the afternoon. This site is on the river and has 110 electricity and water. You have to back in or out.

We had a lovely stay on Karin's property! The RV spot sat right on the river with plenty of privacy, but still close to the bathroom/shower and kitchen area. Everyone was very friendly and happy to suggest things to do and see and the property had everything we needed! We loved swimming off of the dock, paddleboarding and watching the wildlife around the property. Very relaxing spot and would definitely come back to stay again.

Definitely a must camp here! End of September so everyone just had been there for fishing season. Pretty much had the place to ourself. Everyone here is so welcoming and kind, we had full hook ups a few steps away from river and lots of land to have peaceful hikes. There a little house with just a full kitchen, washer and dryer and bathrooms even with a shower. A quick 35min drive from Astoria which we spent one of our days at. The lady assisting the owner was so kind to give my kids a golf cart tour of the dry camping area and were the walking trails are at. They loved it!!! Everything very well managed and cared for here. I do like to be able to drop trash instead of haul it back but not a deal breaker we will definitely be back.

Weekend Trip to Cedar to Surf Campground

Cedar and Surf has been marvelous to our family twice this summer and I highly recommend them to anyone with littles or just a desire to enjoy camping or rv-ing with access to the cleanest campsite bathroom I’ve ever experienced and consistent warm water. A small laundry room made the beach (which was within walking distance) so much less stressful with my chaotic little one who went through half their clothes in one day. The rec room with fridge and freezer and sink for dish washing is a lovely touch as well that made keeping our gear tidy much less of a chore. Thank you Sylvana and Al for making our Labor Day a wonderful and comfortable family adventure!

Very friendly owner and managers. Direct access to a beach trail. Good amenities. The place itself is honestly a big gravel lot for the most part and spaces are close to each other. Typical of RV parks.

We camped in our 30 ft coleman. We had a blast with the quick dune walk to the beach with out kids. The only thing I'd say is our spot was tight and didn't allow for our truck to fit there well. All the amenities were amazing clean and very apparently looked after well! My kiddos wishes they had their bikes if we stayed longer! definitely will next time!

We had a great time camping in our travel trailer and fishing. The hostess was wonderful and she made us feel very welcome, gave us a personal tour of the best spots to fish. The flushing toilets and hot showers were a definite bonus. Everyone in the family had a good time.

We absolutely loved our stay at this beautiful campsite! The scenery is stunning, peaceful, and perfect for relaxing or exploring the outdoors. The camp hosts were so kind and welcoming they really made us feel at home. One of the best parts is that dogs are welcome and can even be off leash if well behaved, which was a huge plus for us! Even though we stayed in our RV, we really appreciated the extra amenities like the cooking area with a stove, showers, and even a washer and dryer which came in super handy. Everything was clean and well maintained. We’re already talking about coming back and are even considering hosting a family reunion here. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a scenic, pet friendly, and well equipped camping spot!

Marlisa’s land is a perfect getaway with lots of river access, miles or well kept trails with plenty of space to play with your dogs. The host was super nice and helpful. The community bathrooms and kitchen were very well kept. Marlisa’s property is a multigenerational campgrounds started by her dad, ran buy her now and we even met her son out on the trails doing maintenance. One of the best camping experiences I’ve had.

The campsite for RV’s was small but secluded and I really loved that, private road for the most part and it was so clean and a lot of amenities that we really enjoyed especially the cleanliness of the showers and restrooms. They provided soap and extras free of charge which you don’t see often. Their is a trail you can walk which is super pretty and nice to use just to site see or walk the dogs to the big open field. Overall loved our stay and we will be back!
