The best ranch camping near Cloverdale

·

Just a short drive inland from the Oregon Coast sits the tiny community of Cloverdale. Its location on the Nestucca River makes it an ideal jumping-off point for those wanting to take advantage of the area's fishing opportunities, and there are a few basic amenities in town for campers who want to stock up on groceries, use an ATM, browse for antiques, or simply stop to stretch their legs. The Nestucca Bay Creamery and Cheese Shop is a great place to pick up locally produced cheese, handmade ice cream, and Oregon wine.

11mi from Cloverdale · 17 sites · Tents, RVs · Beaver, OR
Powder Creek Ranch is 362 acres, nestled into a valley, surrounded by forest in the Oregon Coast Range. The campground is in a secluded meadow next to Powder Creek, a pristine year round stream, perfect for wading and playing in. If you're looking to unplug and escape from the chaos of city life, we are all about peace and quiet and connecting with nature. Each of our 13 extra large campsites offers access to the creek, a picnic table and campfire ring. All sites accommodate RVs as well as tent camping. No hook-ups or potable water available. There are seven (7) creek side sites, one site next to a pond and all have ample space around them so you don't feel crowded. Our newest addition is a cabin overlooking Powder Creek, tucked away by itself. Solar powered. The Ranch has 1/2 mile of Nestucca River frontage where you can swim or fish, whichever floats your boat. Niagara Creek/Pheasant Creek falls is a nearby hiking trail and there are roads as well as deer and elk trails to explore all over the ranch. If you feel like venturing further, the beach is 23 miles away in Pacific City. Tillamook is 25 miles. We also offer pasture raised pork for sale. A variety of sausages (breakfast, chorizo, Italian, Bratwurst and French Garlic links) and pork chops.

The best ranch camping near Cloverdale guide

Where to go

Along the Oregon Coast

Cloverdale offers easy access to the Oregon Coast. The closest city is Pacific City, a 10-minute drive away, while charming Lincoln City is half an hour from town by car.

Nestucca Bay

A short drive south of town along the Nestucca River sits scenic Nestucca Bay. Popular spots to visit along the bay include Nestucca Bay National Wildlife Refuge and the day-use-only Bob Straub State Park.

Tillamook State Forest

Just north of Cloverdale, the Tillamook State Forest offers miles of hiking trails and fishing spots, not to mention plenty of lovely campgrounds.

When to go

The best time to go camping in Cloverdale is during the warm summer season, and the weather is at its hottest and driest from July until about the middle of September. Autumn is the best time for fishing, particularly for Chinook Salmon, while coastal whale-watching opportunities on the Oregon Coast are at their best from mid-December through mid-January and from late March through May.
