The Port of Newport operates this waterfront RV park and marina directly on Yaquina Bay, where campers park within view of the iconic Yaquina Bay Bridge. The facility consists of three distinct sections: a main RV park with full hookups, an annex area, and a dry camping zone that functions as a paved parking lot. RVs up to 60 feet can access electric, water, and sewer connections, while the dry camping area accommodates shorter stays at lower rates.
The marina setting puts campers adjacent to working fishing boats and pleasure craft, with sea lions audibly present throughout the day and night. Mary K. notes "you can hear the sea lions barking up a storm!" The Rogue Brewery headquarters sits immediately next door, offering dining and drinking within walking distance. A public fishing pier extends into the bay, providing crabbing and fishing access directly from the campground.
Campers report the restrooms and laundry facilities stay exceptionally clean, though WiFi coverage remains limited and cell service can be weak. The shower facilities operate on a coin system, with hot water available for $1.50 per five-minute session. Nathan K. found "you are right off the marina and could crab and fish to your hearts content." The Oregon Coast Aquarium sits within walking distance, and a bus stop on-site connects to Newport's downtown area.
Rates vary significantly between sections, with full-hookup sites commanding higher prices than the dry camping parking lot. The facility fills completely during July and August, requiring advance reservations for summer visits. Veterans and Good Sam members receive discounts. For additional coastal options, campers can explore South Beach State Park Campground just over a mile south. The location works particularly well for those prioritizing marina access and proximity to Newport's attractions over traditional campground privacy.
