1,091 Reviews

Newport's coastal setting supports a variety of camping experiences within close proximity to the Pacific Ocean. South Beach State Park and Beverly Beach State Park campgrounds offer developed sites for tent camping, RV hookups, yurts, and cabins along the shoreline. Forest Road 51 near Beaver Creek provides dispersed camping options for visitors seeking a more primitive experience. Several private RV parks including Port of Newport RV Park & Marina and Thousand Trails Whalers Rest complement the state parks with full-service amenities.

Camping facilities near Newport remain accessible year-round, though coastal weather patterns bring significant seasonal variation. Many campgrounds operate throughout all seasons, with most state parks offering reservation options through the Oregon Parks system. "Make sure you book ahead because it always is booked from June to October," noted one South Beach State Park visitor. Winter camping brings fewer crowds but requires preparation for rain and wind. Mosquitoes are frequently mentioned as a nuisance, particularly during summer months at South Beach State Park. Cell service varies by location, with reviews indicating weak coverage at certain facilities like Port of Newport.

The Newport area's campgrounds provide excellent access to coastal recreation. Beachfront camping is available at several locations, with sites at Tillicum Beach and Beverly Beach offering direct beach access. Wildlife viewing opportunities include sea lions that can be heard from Port of Newport Marina. Many campgrounds provide convenient proximity to local attractions—Port of Newport campers mention walkable access to Rogue Brewery and the Oregon Coast Aquarium. South Beach State Park features paved walking paths connecting to beach trails. While campground privacy varies considerably, with some reviewers noting the "parking lot" feel of certain RV parks, state park campgrounds generally offer more vegetative screening between sites. Tent campers may find more secluded options in designated tent loops at state parks.

    Hult Pond

    Good in a pinch or for 1 night

    There are a few spots off the road here. One large open spot big enough for 2 vehicles and several pull offs. There is a little traffic on the road, mostly big trucks.

    Sutton Campground

    Nice campground!

    Nice campground in the woods. Friendly staff. Mix of RV and tent sites. I stayed in a tent site with my dog and we had a great hike from a trailhead in the campground all the way to the dunes and finally the beach. Stunning beach with no one on it and beautiful water.
