Hurlys Hideaway

7 sites · RVs, Tents19 acres · Tillamook, OR
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 with the eggs for sale sign. 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.

Old Wagon Road Vineyard

2 sites · RVs, Tents62 acres · Carlton, OR
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.

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.

The best camping near Cape Lookout State Park guide

Overview

About

Set on the Netarts Spit beside Netarts Bay on the Oregon Coast, Cape Lookout State Park attracts campers (and day-trippers from Portland) with its Pacific Ocean views, miles of hiking trails, and ample opportunities for beachcombing and whale-watching. The North Trail and South Trail segments of the 425-mile-long Oregon Coast Trail also run through the park and are accessible from the day-use area. For especially spectacular views, it's worth hiking the five-mile (round-trip) Cape Lookout Trail, which leads through old-growth forest all the way to the edge of the cape. The Cape Lookout Campground offers traditional tent sites and full hook-up sites for RVs, as well as yurts, deluxe cabins, picnic tables, flush toilets, and hot showers. 

Tips for snagging a campsite

  1. You can reserve one of the park's 200-plus tent sites, RV spots, cabins, and yurts in advance using the Oregon State Parks' online reservation system.
  2. Online reservations open six months in advance (at 6am each day) and can be made up to a day before your arrival.
  3. If you aren’t finding dates that work for you, you can set up an online alert to be notified in case of cancellations.
  4. Last-minute reservations are occasionally available on a walk-up basis at the state park campground.

When to go

Cape Lookout State Park is open throughout the year, though the best time to visit is in late summer, when the weather is pleasantly warm. Opt for weekday stays, if possible, to avoid crowds. The best times for whale-watching are in late March until early June and again mid-December through January, when grey whales make their annual migrations between Alaska and Mexico.

Know before you go

  • Cape Lookout is a 10-minute drive to the community of Netarts and a 15-minute drive to the Tillamook (of Tillamook cheese fame). Both towns have restaurants and supermarkets selling food and camping supplies, while firewood is sold right at the campground.
  • The campground has one ADA-accessible cabin, two accessible yurts (with ramps), and two accessible campsites.
  • Leashed dogs are welcome at the campground, and three of the cabins and six of the yurts are pet-friendly. Leashes are not required at the beach just north of the campground.  
  • Due to wildfire risk, Oregon Parks and Recreation Department sometimes puts temporary bans on campfires and even the use of fire rings and propane stoves, particularly in summer months.
