Disclaimers:
Although Short Sands Beach / Oswald State Park is close, it’s not really walkable. However, it’s only half a mile North on Hwy 101 to the parking lots from our gate. Most of the campsites are about a half mile up the hill from our main entrance. So a total of about a mile to the beach.
Each of our campsites are very rugged: not super flat and have jagged rock.
The roads getting to each campsite are STEEP, NARROW, and have very FEW TURNAROUND OPTIONS. We recommend ONLY EXPERT drivers with 4x4 rigs.
Lastly; there are no bathrooms! Please make sure you bring your own bathroom!

Beach and dog-friendly camping near Seaside guide
Overview
It’s all surf and sandy beaches in Seaside, a small village on Oregon’s north coast. When summer strikes, Seaside comes to life with sun-seekers and adventure hounds. Join in the fun—with swimming, paddling, hiking, and family activities; there’s something for everyone.
Close to town, several private RV parks offer a variety of creature comforts, including Wi-Fi and swimming pools. For year-round RV and tent camping, head north to Fort Stevens State Park near Astoria. Swim in the freshwater lake, or head to the ocean to see a historic shipwreck. In the campground, you’ll find hot showers, picnic tables, and sites with full hookups.
About 20 miles east of Seaside, the Saddle Mountain State Natural Area is the perfect place to get away. From your primitive tent site, hike 2.5 miles to the summit for breathtaking views.
After you explore downtown Seaside, hop on the Tillamook Head Trail. This trail, which was once used by Lewis and Clark, runs south toward Cannon Beach. If you’re through-hiking the Oregon Coast, you can camp in the rustic cabins along the way.
The main camping season near Seaside runs from spring through early fall. Cabin rentals are a great way to enjoy the cold, wet fall and winter. The waves are fierce, and the misty mornings add an element of mystery to every hike.
