The best camping near Siuslaw National Forest guide

Overview

About

Encompassing a broad swathe of the Oregon coast, Siuslaw National Forest offers a mix of densely wooded trails, sweeping sand dunes, and unequivocally gorgeous views of the Oregon Coast. This 630,000-acre national forest features a variety of terrains, rivers, waterfalls, and plenty of old-growth forest. Parts of the forest are also mountainous, and Mary’s Peak—the highest summit in the Oregon stretch of the Coastal Range—is right in the forest. There are also three designated wilderness areas ideal for backpacking, as well as a wide range of drive-up campgrounds both right by the beach and deep into the woods.

Notable campgrounds

Best for Hikers: Cape Perpetua Campground is surrounded by 23 miles of hiking trails.
Best for Boating Fanatics: Sutton Campground offers easy access to the waters of Sutton Lake.
Best for Coastal Views: Tillicum Campground campsites look right out over the Pacific Ocean.

Tips for snagging a campsite

Many campsites in the Siuslaw National Forest can be booked up to six months in advance through the Forest Service website. Reservations go live every morning at 7am Pacific Time. If you’re looking for a cabin or yurt, be ready to reserve right when the sites go live.
Some sites are available on a first-come, first-served (FCFS) basis. If possible, try to arrive by Thursday to avoid the weekend rush.
If you can’t find a campsite for the dates you want, consider booking a Hipcamp in the area or look into camping on BLM land

When to go

Summer is the best season to visit the Siuslaw National Forest, when temperatures are generally warm and the chance of rain is lower. However, this is also the most crowded season, and some campgrounds and day-use areas get pretty busy during summer vacation. Crowds tend to die down after Labor Day, when kids go back to school, but the fall weather doesn’t tend to kick in until late September.

Know before you go

Cell service can be spotty or nonexistent in parts of the Siuslaw National Forest. To avoid losing your way, make sure to download offline maps or write down directions before you go.
Fire bans are common in the summer months, and during periods of extreme wildfire risk, camp stoves may also be prohibited.
Before setting out, check for road closures, irrespective of the season. Snow can cause disruptions in winter, while planned roadworks and landslides can bring traffic to a halt during the summer months.
