Oregon Coast Camping

Vacations can be fun in a variety of different ways and some people enjoy camping. One of the most beautiful camping areas is the Oregon Coast. Depending on what you want to see and where you want to go, you can find a trip that is romantic and fun.
There are several state campgrounds or you can camp directly on the beach. You can bring an RV as well. How you camp depends on you and what you want to do. Beach camping can be very romantic and peaceful. You will need to check with the beach to make sure you can do this because some don't allow sand camping. However there is nothing more relaxing than going to sleep and waking up to the sound of the tide coming in and going out. You can decide to rough it or have a nice place to stay.
There are many RV parks along the way and which one you choose will depend on the amenities that are most interesting and necessary to you. Some of these may be a little more expensive than cabin or tent camping but it will be worth it for the amenities. You will find cabins, small hotels or a place for pets in many of the RV parks and you can get water and electric hookup if needed.
If you would rather camp in the security of a State camp you can find several of these and they are kept very clean. The sites are easy to find, very well marked and taken care of very well. You can find directories online for more information about specific sites.
You can find the strange and weird as well as historical relics along the Oregon Coast as you're camping depending on where you go. Tillamook Head offers six miles of trails with items of historical interest along the way. You will follow in the footsteps of Lewis and Clark and you will see a marker for the spot they talked about in their diary
and in another area find an old Army bunker in the brush; you just never know what you will find here as you go hiking up a trail.
If you are in the Nehalem Bay Area you may want to camp in Oswald West State Park. The trails through this area will take you through rainforests, viewpoints and beach spots. If you like to rough it for camping this is the place to be because there are several primitive camping sites. This is also where you might see some very strange sites in some of the forbidden sights.
The Astoria area also has camping and you will want to go to Fort Stevens State Park. According to sources in the area it's the biggest park west of the Mississippi. This is the place to go if you are a Civil War buff because it offers old battlements from that time period. You will also see a small shelling by a Japanese sub in WWII and an actual shipwreck.
