Celestine Fields

6 sites · Lodging, RVs, Tents20 acres · Carlton, OR
Learn more about our land: In the heart of Willamette Valley AVA and on a breezy 20-acre lot of land we provide a space for you to set yourself up and enjoy life's natural bounty. We offer a small shared space with a wood fire stove and some essential items, many games (such as horseshoes), and lots of picnic areas and tables sprinkled throughout the property. The location is central and half an hour to just minutes away from water bodies Hagg Lake, Nestucca River, Yamhill River, little Niagara Falls, Mill Creek, Baker Creek, Rainbow Lake and more… Such as the Carlton public pool. If your looking to jaunt from camp a little further, we are located a little over an hour and a beautiful drive to the Pacific Coast and about an hour from Portland. Although in the middle of the country woods, we are surprisingly only two and a half miles from the adorable and quaint town of Carlton. So beside the views, you’ll be alongside some fantastic eateries and outstanding winemakers.  Being raised in the community, and over ten years of experience in the local food and wine industry, I can give recommendations aplenty.   ꕥ  The property has been in our family since the late 60’s and has recently been transferred in ownership to the next generation! It’s been a large adjustment with many precious memories in tow. In hopes to carry on the legacy we opened up camp mid-summer 2021, and it’s a work in progress (as work normally is!), but has been a beautiful experience being in a position to share. There are two family homes on the property with people who truly admire this land we have been given so we do ask you to respect our process in this adjustment, as we miss our grandparents and parents who have worked their entire lives for us to be here. With the work of these past couple seasons, and thanks to our fellow campers, we have been able to lay more gravel, get a more fluid bathroom situation established, and have purchased a 20ft stargazing tent that is in the works of being listed this season! So thank you for your support in this venture and in any form, I’m excited to be apart of your adventure and hope to see you in our neck of the woods soon! ❊ ❁ ❊  - Whitney

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.

The best camping near Bob Straub State Park guide

Overview

About

Situated on a coastal spit between Nestucca Bay and the Pacific Ocean, Bob Straub State Park attracts hikers, beachcombers, anglers, and equestrians with its quiet, sandy shores and easy access to the Nestucca River, known for its Chinook salmon. Along with a stretch of ocean beach, the park offers a handful of pedestrian and horse trails that range in length from a half-mile to almost 2.5 miles. While the park is only open for day use, plenty of camping areas sit nearby.

When to go

Bob Straub is open throughout the year, but if you want to do a lot of hiking or horseback riding, you’re best off planning your visit in July or August, when temperatures are warm and the likelihood of rain is low. Summer is also ideal for sunsets at this west-facing beach. If you’re coming to fish, autumn is a popular time, particularly if it’s Chinook salmon you’re after.

Know before you go

  • Visitors with horse trailers are required to park at the Pacific City County Boat Launch, adjacent to the park.
  • Many trails are used by hikers and riders alike, so hikers should yield to horses. To avoid frightening horses, don't make any sudden loud noises or movements in their presence.
  • Fishing licenses are required and can be obtained through the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife. There are limits on how many fish you can catch and during which season.
  • The nearest supermarkets and gas stations are in Pacific City, about a mile away.
