Fort Stevens State Park

Fort Stevens State Park is Oregon's largest and busiest coastal campground, set on the peninsula where the Columbia River meets the Pacific on the north Oregon coast. The 4,300-acre park holds the rusted skeleton of the Peter Iredale shipwreck, miles of paved bike trails, and Coffenbury Lake for freshwater swimming. It suits families, cyclists, and big-rig owners who want a well-organized state park base rather than an ocean-view pad, and it is one of the few north-coast parks that comfortably fits a 45-foot Class A with a toad.

Why RVers stay here

The campground has 476 sites: 174 full hookup and 302 electric/water, with 50-amp service on the full-hookup sites, which is unusual for Oregon state parks. Rates run $29 to $70 depending on site, date, and residency, plus a $10 booking fee, and reservations open six months out. Hot showers, flush toilets, a dump station, firewood sales, and yurts are on site; Verizon and T-Mobile are decent, AT&T spotty in the far loops. It is open year-round though some loops close November through March. The honest trade-off is that you camp in a flat, forested area with no ocean views; loops D and E are closest to the beach trail but pick up foot traffic noise, and the deeper loops are quieter with more tree cover.

✓174 full-hookup sites with 50-amp service, rare for an Oregon state park.

✓Miles of paved bike trails, the Peter Iredale shipwreck, and Coffenbury Lake for swimming when the ocean is too cold.

✓One of the few north-coast campgrounds where a 45-foot combined rig fits comfortably.

✓Open year-round with hot showers, flush toilets, and a dump station.

✓Rates from $29, and yurts are available for the non-RV members of the party.

Oregon Coast Camping: The RV Guide to 350 Miles of Public Beach

Fort Stevens is the flagship — Oregon's largest and most popular coastal campground, sitting on the peninsula where the Columbia River meets the Pacific. The park covers 4,300 acres and includes the rusted skeleton of the Peter Iredale shipwreck, miles of paved bike trails, and Coffenbury Lake for freshwater swimming when the ocean is too cold (which is always).

The campground is massive and well-organized. Loop D and E are the most popular for RVs because they're closest to the beach trail, but loops deeper in the park offer more tree cover and quiet. Full hookup sites have 50-amp service, which is uncommon for Oregon state parks and a genuine plus if you're running AC during a rare heat wave or need to keep systems charged during an extended stay. The one honest knock: the sites closest to the beach trail get foot traffic noise, and you're camping in a flat, forested area — there are no ocean views from your site. You walk or bike to the beach.

Fort Stevens is also one of the few Oregon coast parks where you can comfortably fit a big Class A with toad. If you're running 45 feet of combined rig, this is your safest bet on the north coast.
