Discover the most magical spots to pitch your tent or park your rig on your next Devil's Lake State Recreation Area adventure.
Lakeside camping right in an Oregon Coast city.
Set on the 685-acre Devil's Lake, Devil's Lake State Recreation Area is the collective name for East Devil's Lake State Park, a day-use area on the south shore, and the Devil's Lake Campground, situated right in Lincoln City, a short walk from the lakeside. Camping options at Devil's Lake Campground include basic tent sites, full hookup sites (most with cable TV), and 10 yurts, plus flush toilets and boat slips. While plenty of campers choose Devil's Lake for its proximity to Lincoln City attractions and the ocean beach, the lake here is also a big draw, particularly for boaters.
Devil's Lake is open year-round for camping and day use, although some sites close in winter due to rain and flooding, and may remain shut through June. The Oregon Coast tends to be cold and rainy for much of the year, and the warmer summer months are definitely the best time for camping. Birdwatchers who don’t mind cooler temperatures may enjoy winter visits, when the migratory geese and ducks descend upon the lake's wetland.
