we stayed here on our way up and back to Bremerton, so this review is supplemental to my earlier one. As before, this is a great place to stay with all the hook ups and a nice view out over the hillside. Jered is a really easy-going host and again went out of his way to make sure we were comfortable. I'm sure we'll stop back by on our next trip as this site is easy to get to being just a few short miles off of I-5. It's peaceful and quiet at night and well worth the quick jaunt off the freeway to get a good nights sleep.

I enjoyed Tipi in town as I felt well cared for. I visited in drippy November and the hosts checked in routinely, supplied me with wood for the stove and provided an extra sleeping bag for comfort.
As a dog owner, I was delighted by proximity to Willamette and Avery parks for wiggles and sniffs.

The Hosts are always kind and considerate, going out of their way to make sure you have everything you need. The place looks great as they continue to make improvements all around. All amenities for RV hook ups are available and it's a beautiful hillside overlook from the pad.. Easy to get to from I-5 but feels like you're out in the country and very peaceful. We will be back.

Lovely site, directly off the road so you can hear that but the location for the beach and Yachats is PERFECT
Flat ground, nice tree cover, everything was easy!

Absolutely gorgeous property, a private site with a beautiful view. Very close to Old town Cemetery, with a historic downtown less than 10 minutes drive. In Brownsville, OR. Stayed for 3 weeks for a job in Lebanon, OR so it was close enough for a comfortable drive to and from, out of the hustle and bustle of the bigger city. Livestock in close surrounding areas, lots of deer! And wild turkeys.. also witnessed a lady bug swarm for the first time in life and it was such a great experience! Host was very accommodating, helpful and friendly, also gave advice on what to check out for holiday festivities while staying. Fire pit included! ☺️🦃🌳🦌🐄🐃🐓🪦They also have all hook ups available for your RV as well as recycling and garbage can for trash etc. Would absolutely stay again. Its giving Sleepy Hollow vibes ❤️

Cozy, comfortable, and convenient accommodation in Eugene. $11 Uber ride to downtown. Would have enjoyed the outside movie screen and hot tub were it a bit warmer outside.

Great spot to stay in Corvallis. Host was very accommodating and the stay was quite comfortable. Noise level was about to be expected for being in town, but certainly not bothersome. Would def stay there again when in Corvallis.

We had a wonderful stay. My best night sleep in a very long time! The dome was so cozy with a warming fire on a rainy night. It’s also close to UO for the football game we attended. We will be back for sure!

We stayed with our travel trailer. All hookups worked just fine (water, sewer, electric). It was a busy road right across the fence during the day time but a very quiet area at night. The hosts gave us space but we’re very helpful and responsive via the app with any questions or needs. We had to leave a day early and the host refunded a night stay without even being requested!

We had such a great time camping and staying in the yurt on Jeremy and Dana's land. The yurt is at the back of the property, near a creek and feels private.

The best camping in Siuslaw National Forest, OR guide
Overview
About
Encompassing a broad swathe of the Oregon coast, Siuslaw National Forest offers a mix of densely wooded trails, sweeping sand dunes, and unequivocally gorgeous views of the Oregon Coast. This 630,000-acre national forest features a variety of terrains, rivers, waterfalls, and plenty of old-growth forest. Parts of the forest are also mountainous, and Mary’s Peak—the highest summit in the Oregon stretch of the Coastal Range—is right in the forest. There are also three designated wilderness areas ideal for backpacking, as well as a wide range of drive-up campgrounds both right by the beach and deep into the woods.
Notable campgrounds
- Best for Hikers: Cape Perpetua Campground is surrounded by 23 miles of hiking trails.
- Best for Boating Fanatics: Sutton Campground offers easy access to the waters of Sutton Lake.
- Best for Coastal Views: Tillicum Campground campsites look right out over the Pacific Ocean.
Tips for snagging a campsite
- Many campsites in the Siuslaw National Forest can be booked up to six months in advance through the Forest Service website. Reservations go live every morning at 7am Pacific Time. If you’re looking for a cabin or yurt, be ready to reserve right when the sites go live.
- Some sites are available on a first-come, first-served (FCFS) basis. If possible, try to arrive by Thursday to avoid the weekend rush.
- If you can’t find a campsite for the dates you want, consider booking a Hipcamp in the area or look into camping on BLM land
When to go
Summer is the best season to visit the Siuslaw National Forest, when temperatures are generally warm and the chance of rain is lower. However, this is also the most crowded season, and some campgrounds and day-use areas get pretty busy during summer vacation. Crowds tend to die down after Labor Day, when kids go back to school, but the fall weather doesn’t tend to kick in until late September.
Know before you go
- Cell service can be spotty or nonexistent in parts of the Siuslaw National Forest. To avoid losing your way, make sure to download offline maps or write down directions before you go.
- Fire bans are common in the summer months, and during periods of extreme wildfire risk, camp stoves may also be prohibited.
- Before setting out, check for road closures, irrespective of the season. Snow can cause disruptions in winter, while planned roadworks and landslides can bring traffic to a halt during the summer months.

I never went to this campground. I'm a State Park host not a traditional camoer.

This is a horse camp use to be beautiful but the cov 19 is killing it. More people leaving their fires lit as they leave homeless people everywhere. Including the way up . This is a dangerous place to be . Beware!!! This Corporate company managing it never came once the whole 4 days we were there . They should be fired !!!

Sites closer to the water (like #13-15) are more private and secluded from the roadway. Hiking trails start from the campground, which is just off the highway. The visitor center is a short drive, hike or bike away. Beautiful coastal spot!

Loved this campground. Very quiet, only hearing the sounds of the creek and wind in trees all day and night. Somewhat expensive for a spot without any hookups ($26/night) but was a great stay. Does not have cell service there, but you can get Verizon service at the Cape Perpetua Visitors Center just up the road, or by using one of the trails from the ground (0.2 miles to visitor center). They have many trails leaving the campground and many in the area. Great spot to stay.

My go-to spot if i come back to the oregon dunes area. This campground, while central in the dune and OHV area, doesn't allow OHVs in the grounds so it is by far the quietest and most secluded of the campgrounds in the area. Surrounded by trees and right up against the lake with a great loop trail around it. Barely has a bar of cell service (verizon) when there. Has bathrooms and fresh water available as well. And spots are large with good privacy.

If Cape Perpetua is full, head 7 miles south to Rock Creek campground. It is run by the USDA and its a great alternative spot.

Trail hiking, beach bumming, sight seeing - do it all at this gorgeous Oregon coast spot. There isn't a bad view in the sight and tons of activities to choose from - good luck trying to fit them all in!

Pretty bare bones, just a porta-loo, no showers and only a few sites, but nice and quiet with roomy sites if you luck out! Plus it's only $13 a night. Make sure to stop at Haceta Head Lighthouse while you're in the area!

I stopped here for the first night of traveling down the southern Oregon coast in late August, and it was a nice place. I reserved online for $35. This was so nice to know that I had a spot reserved. The fog hung right on the coast but made a nice evening with a campfire and smores. Some of the campsites have little privacy, but site 15 has a nice trail that puts it secluded in a small clearing. (plus it is nearby to water and bathrooms) I did not get a chance to hike the trails nearby, but for my car camping trip this was perfect!

Disgusted to see what has happened to this campground. Camped here in July 2016, used to be a destination for our local family campouts, but no longer will be. Trash everywhere, a burned up tent and other suspicious debris left in one of the sites, broken glass, etc. The set up is weird now too, many of the sites are not apparent, so it seems like a free for all as to where you can camp, which makes it awkward. Some weird acting campers who appear to have set up long term (as previous reviewer stated). No attendant or ranger made an appearance to even check the bathroom during our stay. They should make this place a pay site and clean it up for those who actually want to enjoy it as a campground.

This campground really only has 4 usable sites, and only 2 are even worth camping in. There are no picnic tables, garbage service, or amenities of any kind, just a single drop toilet that is often lacking proper cleaning and supplies. This campground used to be ok, now it is largely overrun by long-term (homeless??) campers, often has trash, and just has a way more sketchy vibe than it did years ago. Lots of locals use this as a party spot too, so you can expect random late night drive thrus and disruptive visitors at all hours. Overall its not at all worth the long drive to the campground, especially when the sites are all often now full.

Campsites are a little close together but the incredible coastline and fabulous sites within easy hiking distance more than make up for it. Several campsites are more hidden off the road with thick vegetation providing privacy and a lovely river rushing by. Lots of well maintained trails for all levels of expertise and incredible coastline. Thor's well was by far my favorite.

Sure you could drive most of the way to the peak but then you miss out on most of the amazing hike.

The Cape Perpetua area is one of my favorite places on the planet. There are choices for easy or challenging hikes. Exploring Cook's Chasm, Spouting Horn, Devil's Churn, and Thor's Well at high tide will get your heart pumping with the power of the ocean.

Book early in the year if you want a weekend spot anytime after March. This place isn't huge so it fills up fast. Plus, all us locals like it too!
