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.

9. James & Patricia's Oasis

36mi from Oswald West State Park · 2 sites · Tents · Buxton, OR
20 years ago James and Patricia purchased land that had been logged multiple time, and built a house to raise a family, and watch the forest regrow. James loves trains and this area had a logging operation in the early 1900's that included railroads, donkey engines and logging camps in the area. In the 1980's several 10 to 20 acre parcels were sold to people who wanted a piece of the country life. James and Patricia now live on one of those parcels and look forward to the next generation enjoying the country life. When James and Patricia bought the property, the previous owner had cut down most of the trees and would mow most of the land. The land was allowed to recover with alder being the first forest which replenished the soil. In a few areas scotch broom (invasive plants) took hold. Not wanting to use toxic chemicals that could leach into the water supply getting rid of scotch broom was a challenge but now there is large meadow with baby Christmas trees growing (marked by the red flags). In many other places douglas fir has planted itself along with new cedar trees. There is beautiful undergrowth that includes thimble berry, Oregon grape, candy stripe and many other wild plants. There is red huckleberry growing in various places and makes a great snack when they are ripe. Speaking of wild, there is a lot wildlife here. Several species of birds live here including family of humming birds. Sometimes you will see grouse, geese, ducks, swallows, red tail hawks, even a glimpse of a bald eagle. There are wild bunnies, gardener snakes, frogs, salamanders. If you go along the trails you might see signs of deer or coyote. There are currently chickens that live near the garage and garden (that's why dogs must be on leash). Learn more about this land: Pitch your tent in a shady meadow next to a small pond. Enjoy the serenity and the coastal mountain breezes flowing through the tree tops. There are hiking trails through forest land. Wake in the morning to birds singing, and fall asleep to the frogs in the pond. Clear nights and you can see a lot of stars. During the right season there are blackberries, red huckleberries and thimble berries. The Banks-Vernonia Linear trail State park and LL Stub Stewart are both near this beautiful little space.

Learn more about this land:Hi Campers! Come stay and enjoy a sandy beach with a gorgeous view of Oregon, across the Columbia River. It's only 5 minutes to the nearest boat ramp and 2 minutes to the ferry. So bring your water toys, rent my kayaks or just sit back and relax. A few things to note: In order to visit Oregon, it is a 15 minute ferry ride or you can drive the scenic route, which takes about an hour. For more ferry information, like times and costs, please google the Wahkiakum County Ferry. If you are with a larger group than what the site allows, please inquire with owner for additional pricing.

We are approximately 45 minutes west of downtown Portland. Our camping area is about 5 acres and offers something for everyone. If you have a large RV and need a safe and quiet spot to stay for the night, we got you. We have a large fire pit, Adirondak chairs, a large picnic table, and a swing set for the kids. Badminton and cornhole available on request. Family get-togethers or birthday parties are welcome! We are located just 1.5 miles from The Banks-Vernonia Trail. Bike campers are welcome! Feel free to bring along your 4-legged friends as well. We do not have a fence, so if you do not trust your dog of a leash, please keep them tied up. We have a lot of deer that pass through and untrained dogs love chasing them. Banks has a few restaurants to choose from: Subway, Dairy Queen, Main Street Pizza, Mary's Mexican Food, Hop-Cycle Brewing to name a few. There is also a Supermarket in town just in case you forgot your S'mores supplies, Spirits, or campfire wood.

Hagg lake, Horning's Hideout, Dorman's Pond and the Wilson River are all popular spots. We have clean well water and 50A electrical hookups. We do not offer dumping of black water, but you can empty your tank at the Elks club in Forest Grove (25-minute drive) for free or Camping World over in Hillsboro. I don't mind if you drain your gray water on the property as long as you use a longer hose to keep it away from the immediate camping area. The parking area for RV's is fairly level and easy to get in and out of. During the late summer, our 5 apple trees produce great fruit. We also have 2 plum trees, and some blackberries. Feel free to pick what you would like. Currently, we do not have any public bathroom facilities available for campers, so please plan accordingly.

Incredible views and enjoyed walking around the land. Definitely will stay again when I’m in the area. Don’t be put off by the steep driveway, a UPS truck makes it up and down!

We stayed at Site 3 at Jackie and Ron’s. The hosts are more than accommodating. We loved the location and clean bathrooms at a well maintained RV park. There was also WiFi for those that need it, and fire rings if one would like a fire. The campers are quiet and respectful. We will definitely stay here for future clam digging trips.

The best camping in Oswald West State Park, OR guide

Overview

About

Lush forest trails and sweeping headlands lead the way to cliff-top lookout points and sandy shores in the Oswald West State Park. Beach-goers can head straight to Short Sand Beach—or ‘Shorty’s’ as it’s known to locals—to hit the surf, stroll the secluded sands, or explore the tidepools. Hikers have miles of trails to explore, too, including a 13-mile section of the Oregon Coast Trail. Hike to Blumenthal Falls, admire the views from Neahkahnie Mountain and Cape Falcon, or enjoy bird-watching along Short Sand Creek. There’s no camping in the park, but campers have options along the coast.

When to go

Oswald West State Park is accessible year-round, but the most popular time to visit is from June through September. The surf is gentle enough for beginners in the summer months (winter swells can be dangerous), but expect big crowds—get there early to snag a parking spot. Late spring and early autumn are ideal for hikers, and the Oregon Coast Trail affords stunning views of the park’s spring wildflowers and fall foliage. 

Know before you go

  • Oswald West State Park is located 10 miles south of Cannon Beach, or about a 10-minute drive along Highway 101. You’ll need your own vehicle to get to the park, as there’s no public transport, and there are four free parking lots at the trailheads.
  • Facilities within the park include restrooms, picnic tables, and drinking water fountains, but you’ll need to bring everything else with you. There are shops and restaurants within a 10-minute drive, or head to Cannon Beach to stock up on supplies. 
  • The park has ADA restrooms, and the Neahkahnie Mountain viewpoint is wheelchair accessible.
