Rock Crick Acres

7 sites · RVs, Tents2 acres · Grand Ronde, OR

This hidden gem is only 1/3 of a mile off the highway yet all you can hear is the flow of the water from Rock Creek which flows along the 2 acres. There is plenty of spots to toss your tent. Personally, I prefer the bank overlooking the stream. Cool your feet on a hot summer day in Rock Creek (the main attraction). Enjoy the evenings around the fire pit for an extra $10/day which includes the firewood. There are complimentary tables, BBQ, chairs. Did you know the coolest porta-party in the galaxy awaits your visit? Yep, true. Attractions: Spirit Mountain Casino is only 4 miles away, The Oregon coast is a 25 minute drive as well as plenty of vineyards. Also enjoy 100+ miles of hiking trails. The trail head is only 1 mile from camp. I'm available to answer any questions you have and look forward to your visit. We ask if the ground is wet (rain for 24+ hrs) you keep your car on the gravel driveway and not drive in the grass (causing ruts). Don't be a turd. Respect the Hideout. If you plan on partying and/or staying up late around the campfire, don't book this. I have neighbors and respect them. Go do your party booking elsewhere, please. Lastly, if you are bringing dogs, you'll most likely get a bit of barking from the dogs to the east for the 1st hour. I just want to be honest and warn you.

There are several roadside campfire stations(directly across 101 from camp) offering small bundles for $5-6/night. **Be advised that we are slowly working on the property to eventually create more camping space. There was a lot of dirt/fill brought in over the winter of 2022 and the property may not be as green as years past.** Please be our guests, relax, and enjoy!

The best camping near Beaver Creek State Natural Area guide

Overview

About

The inland section of the two-part Brian Booth State Park, the Beaver Creek Natural Area is a local favorite among kayakers, hikers, birdwatchers, and nature photographers. This protected area features five miles of hiking trails and three miles of flat water for paddling, plus a boat launch for easy access to the Beaver Creek Estuary. It also provides a habitat for beavers, otters, elk, deer, and a wide variety of birds, both resident and migratory. Oregon State Parks offers ranger-led summer kayak tours, a great way to learn about the park and its creatures while improving your paddling skills.

When to go

The Beaver Creek State Natural Area is open for day use throughout the year. The weather is at its finest from July through September, and park ranger-led guided kayaking tours are available in July and August. Birdwatching opportunities are excellent year-round, though the best time to see visiting migratory species is in November, during the fall migration—just be prepared for rain.

Know before you go

There's a kayak launch near the Welcome Center. If you don’t have gear of your own, you can sign up for one of the park ranger-led kayak tours online. Reservations open on June 1.
The boardwalk, boat launch, and the vault toilet at the Welcome Center are all wheelchair accessible.
Bring binoculars if you have them. Even if you haven’t come to birdwatch, they can come in handy for spotting other creatures that call the area home.
The closest spot to get gas is in the town of Waldport, an eight-minute drive from the park. There's also a small market in Seal Rock, about a three-minute drive away.
