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.

Chris and Beth met and started dating in Indianapolis in 2009 where both were working on their graduate education. During their first date, Chris announced his goal of developing a vineyard and making wine. As the relationship evolved, Chris worked toward the goal by researching viticulture, attending classes and investigating potential vineyard sites. In summer of 2011, Chris and Beth got married and dove into the wine industry when they purchased a majestic 62 acre property in the foothills of the coastal mountain range in Yamhill County. The property had been an old timber farm that was in bad shape. In 2012, a portion of the property was cleared and planted and the adventure had just begun!The vineyard was planted in 2012, with additional blocks planted each year since. In 2015 they produced our first lots of Pinor Noir and Sauvignon Blanc and have since expanded the wine selection to offer hand-crafted lots of Pinot Noir, Sauvignon Blanc, Gewurztraminer, Riesling, Dolcetto, Lagrein and more.These days, Chris manages the day to day operations of the farm and wine production while Beth manages the business.

the camp sites are seasonal and most will be closed for the wet winter months. they will be open from June thru October, depending on the weather we may need to adjust the access to the sites.
you are welcome to walk around the field during your stay, pick some blackberries, apples or plums but please be aware and careful as we do have some poison oak on the property. I encourage you to stay on a path.
we have walking trails coming soon!
please message me if you would like a tour of the farm we have a horse boarding stable, chickens and goats (for your safety please do not enter any barns or pastures without permission)
you can see and hear some of the animals but most are far enough away that they are not disturbing.

Talons property is gorgeous! His directions were spot-on, and he was there to greet us upon arrival (comfortably available, not hawkish). Quiet, clean property with lots of space and serene.
Stanley was a friendly dog and played nicely w our two dogs. No evidence of dog poop or messes to be seen anywhere…so not sure about the previous review?

Nice spot. Quiet with a bit of a view of the Tillamook Valley complete with cows cooing. Portapotty was clean.

Great location and Mat was a great host providing information about things around town. A bit of road noise since it's close to the marina and the beach but didn't really bother us since we spent most of the day out. Great restaurants that you can walk to.

Overall a great experience. The site is small and near the road, but the road isn't busy at all and the view is fantastic. Great and responsive hosts.

Being right on the Columbia River was wonderful!!!! It is right next to the highway, but the big fence provides privacy and I found I was tuning the traffic noise out. The empty RV mentioned in other reviews is gone. It was so great having the place to myself. I would stay there again!

Our stay at the Fisherman's Cove was good. Having the electric hookup was helpful for our PHEV and kept our fridge charged. The ground was leveled, the site was clean and quiet at night, nice laundry and a shower, and very close to the sights we came to see. Matt, the customer rep, was friendly and helpful.

We loved our stay here. The hosts were amazing available for anything. Let us know of things that we’re going on around the area so we could attend if we’d like to. They were willing to help us with anything that we needed although everything was so good. We really didn’t need anything. The view was amazing. We had a great time. I would 10 out of 10 recommend

Location was great. I don’t think I’d stay here again because we like to be outside and the spaces were just too close- we couldn’t extend our awning half way. I loved that they had a little off leash dog area, quiet part of town and very quiet campground. Owner was GREAT! If you’re staying to go site seeing and spend your time in your trailer (or if you have a very small trailer, ours is only 20 ft)- it’s perfect!

For outdoorsy types like us, this is better than a four star hotel! We spent our time at this cliff-side campsite watching eagles and hawks soaring above, and pelicans and otters swimming in the river below. We days and evenings were quiet and we slept well without interruption. Hope helped us get her canoe down to the river just below the campsite and we were blown away by how much wildlife we saw on our 1.5 hour adventure in the Columbia: eagles, hawks, deer, pelicans, otters and even sturgeon leaping out of the water! The site was a wonderful jumping off point for adventure all around the region, including Longbeach, The Art Walk, Covered Bridge and of coarse Cathlemet.

Absolutely the nicest host I have met. Welcoming, professional and helpful. The “campground” worked for what we needed. A place to stay. Great access for fishing. The downside is a tight fit between campers and some units look broken in place and well lived in. (The nice way to say it).

Great dunes to hide behind from the wind!! Great for beach walks and a retreat into the forest for night time campfires!

If you're looking for a stunning sunset then this is your spot. Since it is such a big campground the beach never seems crowded. They have boat launch, group camping, and a horse camp. You can even pay to ride horses on the beach! Manzanita is a sleepy coastal town nearby, last summer we rode bikes there from the campground.

Large Campground, lots of paved bike trails, plenty of hiking trails. Located on the northern Oregon coast so bring warm jackets and the beach tends to be very windy here.
