Nehalem Bay State Park, on the Oregon coast has great camping. You can pitch a tent, or bring an RV. Dogs are allowed, and there are nice bathrooms/showers. It's close to Manzanita, and Cannon Beach, which are nice towns.

good places for FREE camping in Oregon?

Steffanie

I'm planning a trip to Oregon this summer and we are not really intersted in spending a ton of money to just pitch a tent and camp out. We'll be driving through and visiting Portland and exploring the coast. So I was hoping maybe some locals could give me the names of some nice places to just camp out where we aren't gonna get fined or chased off. Any help is appreciated we've never been there before so we're kind of blindly adventuring.

Thanks

Answer
Almost all the BLM land in eastern Oregon has free camping. Sometimes BLM campgrounds have pit toilets, but mostly you have to bring a shovel and water to make a patch of BLM land a campsite.

I don't know of any free campsites west of the Cascades, except for bicyclists.

Where is a good place to camp in oregon ?

I want it to be somewhere near water and where adults are okay to drink. Any suggestion is a good one. Thank you

Answer
Cape Lookout, down by the beach there is a campground, you'll hit it if you take hwy 6 out of portland, down to tillamook (watch your speed), go out 3rd street toward netarts (this turns into Hwy 131), turn left when you see the sign for Cape Lookout, stay on that bumpy road and the campground is on your right (toward to water) but BEFORE you go up over the top of the Cape. Great great great camping but RESERVE YOUR SPOT NOW. I MEAN RIGHT NOW LIKE TOMORROW MORNING. That place is packed all summer. I'd shoot for sometime between August 10th and September 30th. That's your best bet. And, the best campground I've been to in all of Oregon. Also, if you head back toward Netarts on the same road for dinner some night, there's a nice Italian place on your left (can't miss it), and if you turn left onto the road that stays by the bay, you'll come to The Schooner (get the PIZZA). Ignore the fish, Ignore the steak, get the pizza, trust me. There's also another more adult type bar and grill just up the hill from the schooner, take a right and it's one block up (Michko's). That used to be my neighborhood bar and it's a close drive from your campsite if you wanted to get some bar time in one night before heading back to the campground for the campfire. They usually have a decent band in there on the weekends, and the bartenders are great, except for the crotchety old lady, but she never works weekends. They've got a pretty good menu too (cheaper then the Schooner and much more casual). Get there before nine for the full menu (get the steak sandwich), or typical bar food after nine. Large outdoor deck out back, very large bar actually, plenty of quiet nooks, very clean private bathrooms. That's my recommendation for camping. Head into Tillamook for any needed supplies from the grocery store. Take the same road back into town that you took on your way out and you'll run right into Safeway, can't miss it. The hospital is right there too should something go "awry". I recommend a hike on Cape lookout during the day, and take the UPPER TRAIL, not the one that goes down to the beach. You'll have plenty of beach time at the campground.

What is the BEST scenic place to kayak on the coast of Washington State in the U.S?

Elena

Me and my husband want to either camp on the beach, wake up, and go kayaking, OR stay in a REALLY nice resort hotel and go kayaking in the morning. What to you think?

Answer
The Pacific coasts of Washington and Oregon often have 20 foot swells and rough seas. There are days where the swells are only 10 feet, sometimes less, but there's no way to know more than a day in advance when that might occur.

The best bet would be the San Juan Islands for kayaking. The water is protected from ocean swells, and there are many harbors and inlets where one can escape chop and current if necessary. There are many gorgeous resorts with fine dining and more, as well as rustic resorts. Orcas Island and San Juan Island have the greatest tourist capacity. Most of the other islands are much less developed, though those accessible by ferry all have campgrounds and a few B&Bs.

Check out the many reviews associated with the dots on http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&geocode=&q=Accommodation&sll=48.584784,-122.957611&sspn=0.248006,0.557556&ie=UTF8&hq=Accommodation&hnear=&ll=48.572973,-122.968597&spn=0.248064,0.557556&z=11
