New update , I don't currently have enough firewood to accommodate everybody . I'm working on it and hopefully we'll provide that service in the near future but in the meantime I have an address of a friend that sells firewood bundles for $5 each very close by . This is their address . 3904 Tillamook River Road. 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.

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. It's still a work in progress! 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.

Weekend Trip to Otter Cove

My new favorite site for so many reasons !! First of all…..the drive from Portland was breathtaking!, so relaxing and picturesque! Hope’s directions were perfect, I love that it was a pull thru site and saw the “Otter Cove” sign right away! So many pluses about this place ..from the water , and wood onsite for no extra fee is really unheard of! And they also let you borrow a kayak and life vests! SO GENEROUS! Hope was also very responsive and even though it was a solo camping trip , I felt safe and welcomed ! My only regret is that I didn’t get to meet Hope, it was a such a short trip! I can’t wait to go back for more nights!

Weekend Trip to Kilchis River Retreat

Awesome secluded river front camping. We showed up just after dark from crabbing all day at netarts bay. The host greeted us and helped us access fresh water to hose down our boat/pots. Her husband went above and beyond and cooked our crab for us, is his much larger setup. Saved us easily an hour of work, which was amazing. Great people with a beautiful spot. Will definitely stay again on future crabbing trips.

I truly enjoyed my stay here. It is a quiet and beautiful location and perfect for a solo cabin get away or a group camping trip which is what I did. The hosts are close by and are very helpful and friendly. I fell in love with Ptera (like pteradactyl) their blonde chicken... 10/10 recommend!

Weekend Trip to Hurlys Hideaway

Gorgeous spot. Clean, lots of nature. Second time there, will be there again.

Looking west at Riverside Camp. The portable toilet can be seen in the upper right corner, a short walk away from the site. Parking for 3-4 vehicles is near the toilet; 2 cars are allowed near the tent site.

Weekend Trip to West Sunny Sands Beach Campsites

It was nice and private. You will hear wildlife and cows and a paper mill (soft drown). None of it kept me from sleeping. Beautiful river views and if it had been a little warmer I would have been swimming or floating on the river.

Weekend Trip to The Retreat at Cannon Beach

First time at this campground, and I would definitely stay again. Wonderful place to stay for an easy weekend camping trip from Portland. The campground and facilities are very well maintained and managed. The hosts were absolutely lovely and I enjoyed getting to know them. I car camped at site 64. Clean, cozy, and close to the best campground restroom/showers I’ve ever experienced. Most sites are pretty close to one another, but I had great camp neighbors that were fun to interact with anyway. Not an issue. The location is perfect for walking to the beach or exploring in town….steps away. I’ll definitely be back!

Weekend Trip to Kilchis River Retreat

This spot by the river was so beautiful. Just a short walk down to the pebble shore of the river and we had a very private place to sit, listen to the river, skip rocks, and watch the wild life. We appreciated the small cabin onsite where my older mother could stay comfortably while the kids were able to tent camp right outside. We did not use the cowboy tub because of the extra charge, but it looked well kept, clean and cozy.

Terrific hosts! Great location! We enjoyed sitting next to the river every evening sipping on wine. As a previous poster noted, the quarry does get going weekday mornings, but we were always up by then and heading out on our next adventure. By the time we got back in the evening, everything was peaceful and quiet. We’d definitely stay there again.

1 night at The Retreat at Cannon Beach

It’s a beautiful property, convenient to town. Lots of space to enjoy. We played basketball at night and woke up to wild turkeys. We threw a line into the pond too. I would recommend it but be aware that the site in the back was tricky to get to in my sprinter van. We had to park it near the front.

1 night at The Hydrangea Ranch

I loved this little hipcamp spot. It was the perfect place to stay before after driving for a whole day and on my Oregon coast trip. The spot felt very secluded even with other campers nearby. The farm is beautiful and the flowers are stunning.

1 night at The Hydrangea Ranch

We throughly enjoyed our stay, waking up to a glowing valley of flowers felt like something of a storybook. The stars were incredible, and the entire stay at the Ranch was pure magic. The amenities provided- bathrooms, showers, a dry space and picnic tables were perfect. If you want a unique lifetime experience camping, Hydrangea Ranch is the perfectly sweet, magical location!

This site is on a tiny little island and was beautiful! We had a very private camping area with a wonderful view of the field and farm area and a gorgeous sunset. Lisa and Holly were very welcoming and kind.

Ecola State Park camping guide

Overview

About

Just north of Cannon Beach on a nine-mile stretch of the perpetually windswept Oregon Coast, Ecola State Park offers a mix of viewpoints, wooded hiking trails, and sandy beaches. The most popular spot in the day-use park is Ecola Point, right at the southernmost parking area, which offers fantastic views of the beaches to the south and easy access to miles of trails. A second parking lot sits a bit further north at Indian Beach, where you’ll find picnic tables, a vault toilet, and easy access to the sea and sand.

When to go

Ecola State Park is beautiful no matter when you visit, and even cloudy skies give this stretch of coastline a mystical ambiance. While winter isn’t the most popular time to visit, it is ideal for spotting migrating gray whales. Sunny, rain-free days are ideal for hiking and exploring, and the likelihood of good, clear weather is highest from July through September. Sunsets are particularly enchanting, when oranges and pinks light up the sky and the sun appears to drop into the Pacific Ocean.

Know before you go

Bring layers and raingear. The weather at the Oregon Coast can be unpredictable, and just because it's sunny in Portland or in other inland destinations doesn't mean the same will hold true at Ecola State Park.
While Ecola is a day-use park, there is a small hikers' camp with primitive camping for those hiking on the longer Oregon Coast Trail. However, this camp is designed as a stopover, not a destination.
Parking is free for those with camping receipts from other area state parks.
If you can’t find a parking spot at Ecola, head north to Tillamook Head Trailhead, where there are additional spots.
