The best pets off leash 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.

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.

We have recently built the road to the campsite at the back of the land so there is still evidence of recent construction along the road.

Incredible views and enjoyed walking around the land. Definitely will stay again when I’m in the area. Don’t be put off by the steep driveway, a UPS truck makes it up and down!

Great, private one night stay. Host Mark was super friendly. We really enjoyed talking to him. We walked the trails around our site with our dogs and hiss dog, Augie. Augie is also very friendly. Mark left us fire wood and offered us water in our tank which was so thoughtful. Would definitely stay again.

Good place. I just needed to worry about the 55mph main road and the steep rocky path up to the campsite, but that's not the host's fault. The host was very flexible with the camp schedule, and that helped me a lot.

This piece of land is absolutely stunning! Came in on a rainy night and Mark suggested I move up a few sites for more comfort. I woke up to a lovely apple orchard the next morning and watched so many deer pass through! First time I’ve ever seen an apple tree, too! As a solo traveler, I felt safe and secure. 10/10 experience - thank you again, Mark!

Weekend Trip to Hurlys Hideaway

Mark came over on the first night to chat and give us firewood and local recommendations like a byway close by that we checked out the next day. We were the only ones there on a rainy October weekend but the super friendly dog kept us company and chased away coyotes at night. The grounds are great, lots of great viewpoints, very conveniently located, clean toilets… the kids asked when we could come back!

Weekend Trip to The Rock On The Columbia

The view is unbeatable. The hwy noise make a little less peaceful, but a great location to hit the spots of Cape Disappointment and Astoria. I found it amusing that is in the presumed location of Lewis and Clark's "Dismal Niche" where there were trapped for several days before completing their journey to the mouth of the Columbia. It was far from dismal for me.

4 nights at Hurlys Hideaway

Mark was a great host and the camp site had some extra firewood and kindling. He knows the area well so ask him where to eat or what to check out.

we loved hurlys hideaway! Although we didn’t talk to the host, mark provided cuz a comforting and safe environment to camp! he even has the sweetest dog that roams around && says hiii to everyone! my pup even played with him for a bit! we got to the site after dark and at first when you pull into the slot it looks like you’re lost loll, but go up a small trail, up & right a bit,, && there’s such a cozy secluded oasis waiting for you! it even has a hammock up & a somewhat separate section for your tent! it was lovely & i 10/10 recommend! the porta potties were also close by & clean! thanks mark for a lovely stay! we will be back!

Weekend Trip to Williams Park campground

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 Powder Creek Campground

My friend and I camped at this ranch for two nights and had a great experience. Bev is great, the ranch is really pretty and relatively close to the coast, the fishing is fun- we would 100% come back.

Where to go

Oregon's North Coast

Cannon Beach is set in the heart of Oregon's North Coast, making it a great base for exploring nearby communities such as Astoria, Seaside, and Manzanita. The region is also home to tons of great hiking spots, and Ecola State Park is just a few minutes’ drive from Cannon Beach's town center.

The Columbia River

Marking the border between western Oregon and Washington, the Columbia is the largest river in the Pacific Northwest with miles of boating, fishing, and riverside hiking, plus tons of fabulous viewpoints. Head up to nearby Astoria to see the point where this massive river meets the Pacific.

The Tillamook State Forest

Occupying a wide expanse of woodlands, just inland from and south of Cannon Beach, the Tillamook State Forest is spread out over 360,000 acres of forest land, with miles of trails for hiking, mountain biking, and horseback riding.
