South Beach State Park
Fall asleep to the sounds of the Pacific Ocean at this coastal state park.
On a sandy stretch of Oregon's Central Coast, this park offers plenty of activities, with a playground, horseshoe pits, a nine-hole disc golf course, and hiking trails galore. The massive South Beach Campground has hundreds of campsites, plus 27 yurts, flush toilets, hot showers, and an RV dump station. There's also a Hospitality Center where campers can get basic supplies or borrow discs or horse shoes, plus three reservable tent camps for groups.
