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.

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.

3 nights at Powder Creek Campground

We have stayed three times at this campground, and enjoyed it each time. Well-maintained camping area, clean portapotties, helpful & attentive hosts. It's a beautiful place to spend time. Our only downside this time was the camping neighbors running their RV generators for hours at a time during the day, which was really very annoying and disrupted the peace & quiet, but not against the rules. When we stay at state parks, we're usually out exploring during the day, but this campground is so nice that you may want to just hang out and enjoy your spacious campsite most of the time. We will still return, but got unlucky this time with the noise.

I loved our stay at Powder Creek Campground! The hosts are kind and thoughtful, the sites are spacious and level, the creek is beautiful at all times of the day. This land is so special. It’s truly hard to put it all in words. My husband and I came for our anniversary weekend. We had to stay an extra day because we just couldn’t bear to leave. I have never camped at a campground where it was so relaxing and peaceful. We saw deer munching under the apple tree and a Blue Heron fly overhead to the creek. It was a magical weekend. We can’t wait to bring our family and friends back!

I had such a wonderful stay at Powder Creek! The property is stunning and falling asleep next to the running creek every night was just perfect. There were blackberries everywhere for the picking, deer everywhere, and the location is great being so close to the coast. The Outpost down the street had great breakfast! It was such a nice reset for my partner and I, and the host was so gracious, she brought us some plums, squash and cucumber from her garden which were fantastic! I definitely plan to come back, 10/10 :-)

My friends and I absolutely love this place! Every year we go camping about twice, and we always choose this campground—it never lets us down. One time we decided to try a different campground, but it turned out to be nothing like the photos and not what we expected at all. That same day, we booked at Powder Creek Campground, and thankfully there was availability—it truly saved us! We love how spacious and friendly this place is. There’s plenty of room, which we really enjoy, and having a river nearby where we can swim makes it even better. Everyone is so kind, and the host is wonderful as well. This is our third time staying here, and we couldn’t be happier or more grateful. Without a doubt, our annual camping trips will always be here. Thank you for being so attentive!

The site was beautiful, right by a creek and had plenty of space. The host was very helpful and responsive when I had questions. There was a firepit and we were able to help enjoy making smores over the fire and buy bundles of firewood right on site. The campgfround was quiet, dog friendly and an overall great experience!

Unique Bring your own tent as the existing on is on a deep slant. Unless owner made modifications. Dinner was worth it , if you don't want to drive into town. Felt special with private dinner.

This is an amazing place! The host is lovely, the campsite is beautiful, and the tree tent is a lot of fun. The site is surrounded by forest, and it has a lot of nice personal touches, like freshly picked flowers, that make it feel extra special. It's a quiet, peaceful spot. I definitely recommend staying here!
