Tillicum Beach Campground (OR)

$39.00–$51.00/night

Overview

Tillicum Beach Campground is popular for many reasons, but the number one and most obvious is its location right on the beach. Campers are lulled to sleep by the sound of the ocean waves, then wake to sweeping views of the Pacific. The campground offers an ideal location for whale watching. Most campsites have beachfront views, and sunsets are not to be missed. Fishing, swimming and playing in the sand are the campground's most popular activities.

Recreation

Campers enjoy Tillicum for its expansive sandy beach. Surfers and swimmers play in the waves just off-shore. Children love building sandcastles on the beach.

Walking along the beach is a great way to explore the area. Cape Perpetua is 6 miles south, where visitors can wander through old-growth Sitka spruce, experience the crashing surf, investigate tide pools, whale watch or take a guided hike.

Waldport, just 4 miles north, provides access to fishing, crabbing, clamming and shrimping in the Alsea Bay and River.

Facilities

The campground offers several single-family campsites, a few of which have both electric and water hookups. Sites with hookups are not on the waterfront. Due to the campground's popularity, it's a good idea to make reservations in advance.

Each site is equipped with a picnic table and campfire ring. Flush toilets and drinking water are provided but there are no showers.

Natural Features

The coastal campground lies a couple miles south of where the Alsea River meets the Pacific Ocean. Tillicum is perfectly perched on the sandy beach yet it still offers some shade. The campground offers views of both the ocean and the Coastal Range.

Nearby Attractions

Heceta Beach is located nearby, giving visitors the opportunity to enjoy the Pacific Ocean. Mary's Peak is the highest point in Oregon's Coast Range and has been designed a Scenic Botanical Area because of its rich, unique scenery and plants.

Tillicum Beach is one of our favorite campgrounds. We had a site with utilities near the beach. I would have given a 5 if we had not had the frustrating experience this time of having someone move into one of our sites while we were gone during the day, in spite of using one of the orange cones to indicate we were returning and having a paper showing we had reserved the site. Evidently campground staff thought we were not returning (we have a class B RV, not a trailer) and removed the cone and indicated on the post that the site was available. The host said someone at another site said our site had not been occupied the prior night in spite of us being there all night. The people who moved into our site were understanding and, fortunately, found an open site where they moved. Frustrating for us and for them, too!

Great sites, with ocean views. Most campgrounds are on the inland side of the highway, so Tillicum is ahead of the crowd in offering some sites with ocean views from your campsite. The stairs down to the beach are safe and easy. There was a pile of boulders at the bottom of the stairs that required a tricky few steps down to the beach, but that has now been improved, and the steps continue all the way down to the sand. We also enjoyed some of the best autumn weather we've ever had for October, and one of the best sunsets over the ocean that we've ever seen. I guess we can't credit the campground for that, but if the beach access hadn't been so easy, we wouldn't have been viewing it from the sand. Clean facilities, and friendly fellow campers. Those we met make Tillicum their 1st choice, as we do, too.
