20 ft pop-up camper

2 nights at Hurlys Hideaway

I had a great experience camping at Mark’s land. Beautiful and convenient location for sightseeing, and close to town. Nice and private. Mark is a great host. He is very thoughtful and accommodating. Auggie is the sweetest camp dog ever. I loved my stay, and i look forward to returning!

1 night at Hurlys Hideaway

My teenage son and I had such a pleasant day and night at camp! Shady site #7 was a cute secluded forest spot with a picnic table and a fire pit with enough room for our rooftop tent (or a couple ground tents). We were just a short walk from the water and bathrooms up the road and there are several wonderful camp spots to choose from. Mark was a WONDERFUL host and was so helpful, kind and accommodating with lots of information about Tillamook and surrounding Oregon. If you’re lucky enough, you’ll get a visit from Oggy, the SWEETEST black lab, and Jinx the cat! We will 100% be back, thanks so much for a great stay Mark!

Weekend Trip to Batwater Station on Columbia River

Yurt was great, warm and comfortable. This is our 5th trip to the property and as always we enjoyed everything about this peacful retreat. From Karin and her husband to their sweet dog Molly. Enjoyed all of the birds including Osprey nesting right in front of the yurt. Simply watching the river go by and reading to the sounds of nature.

2 nights at The Rock On The Columbia

This place offers a good view, a roomy enough spot for our trailer and to set chairs out and enjoy the fire. It’s also close to shopping in Astoria and only 30 minutes to seaside. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. The host was great!

Weekend Trip to Hurlys Hideaway

Mark was very responsive, helpful and kind! The area just had a big rain and he was really on top of making sure my experience was still great with the mud. The property is stunning and he has carved out the spaces to have privacy. He also gave me great tips on things to do in the area. As a girl traveling alone, I felt very safe staying on this property and was grateful for the peace of mind.

My family of four (including a six year old) had a good time. There are sheep in a meadow and we enjoyed being stared at placidly by them. The composting toilet was delightfully clean and tidy. Though it was a cold and rainy night, the fireplace kept us warm and the yurt stayed dry. The yurt was very spacious. The things on the inside were very cool: a zodiac poster and chimes with a mallet. A very peaceful spot. And new gravel made the driveway easy to back out of! Thanks!

1 night at Twisted Tree Camp

It’s a very quiet spot and is super private which is nice! It’s all forest around with a great driveway in! It’s see far back so it’s not polluted by noise which made for a very relaxing time!

Weekend Trip to Elkenmist

We had a fantastic time! My partner and I stayed in the yurt to celebrate my birthday. The yurt was clean and private. The wood stove kept us super toasty and the mattress was comfortable. The property has a handy outdoor kitchen and dining area. We also took the farm tour and got to hang out with the baby sheep and rabbits. We also made use of the sauna which was the perfect contrast to the rainy spring weather. The property is stunning and incredibly serene, there are tons more f trails to explore. We left feeling rejuvenated. Den and Max were both incredibly friendly and made our stay easy and enjoyable. We can’t wait to go back!!

Weekend Trip to Elkenmist

My partner and I had an amazing time here for her birthday, I think our biggest regret was not having more time to explore more of the trails around the property. The yurt was very well built, stayed warm with the stove, and was very large for two people and two dogs. The single sleeping mat was surprisingly comfortable and the outhouse was only a short walk from the front doors. Den was extremely kind and helpful in making sure the stay was successful and fun, and the farm tour with Max was great as we were able to meet a lot of baby sheep and rabbits, and we were met with answers to all of our many questions. The location is far enough out that you hear and see a lot of nature, but centrally located enough that we were able to explore both the Washington and Oregon coast easily! The shared outdoor kitchen offers enough amenities that you shouldn’t have any problems making food, the wood fired sauna was an excellent addition, and the outdoor shower is just a few steps away from the sauna and kitchen making everything fairly central. We had such a fun time and we look forward to our next stay!

Weekend Trip to Favorite Creek Campground

The pictures didn't do this place justice! We had an incredible weekend staying in the lodge. It was so well-insulated that the small heater did its job well. I love that all the campsites had a firepit, table, and were near water. You can hear the creek flowing from the whole property. Tyler was a great communicater, too. Plan to be back!

3 nights at Batwater Station on Columbia River

The was a great place to come even for a rainy March getaway. It would be fantastic in nicer weather when one could have fun playing on or in the river. We saw all kinds of critters, including many, many birds. The host was super, very helpful and kind. The common area was well stocked with the things we forgot to bring. We will be back!

Weekend Trip to Batwater Station on Columbia River

Another spontaneous trip to be next to a body of water, this time is the Columbia river. Just wow! Such an amazing property Karin has, she is very responsive, friendly and overall a star host. Thanks so much for letting us immerse in nature in your beautifully maintained paradise. We’ve had a lot of animal sounds, from different birds singing, frogs chatting to howling coyotes or (maybe wolves) we dont know. We loved the outhouse with complete kitchen facilities, toilet and bathroom, that is heated! Campsites and other forms of accommodation (yurt, cabin & boathouse) were distant from each other and we felt our spot was private even though it’s in the roadway. We really loved our stay here, with the amazing sounds of nature, serenity and the views were truly outstanding! We’d love to come back.

Weekend Trip to Sunny 🌞 Seaside 🌊 RV Space

Great urban space in Seaside with very welcoming and generous hosts! They went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable. Clean spot, hookups in great condition. We’ll definitely be back and look forward to it!

“Flederhaus” the 12’x12’ sleeping quarters is on the Columbia River and has easy access.

Weekend Trip to Batwater Station on Columbia River

A truly special way to experience life along the river, the Houseboat is beautifully designed, artfully decorated and thoughtfully equipped throughout. We loved getting to watch the wildlife all around us while also enjoying the luxuries of a big comfy bed, fast WIFI and space for remote work, and everything you could need to cook a great meal and feel at home. Very cool hosts and history about the area! Karin and Michael are lovely folks -- proactive, kind, responsive and helped us with any issues that popped up. Highly recommend!

1 night at Batwater Station on Columbia River

We loved camping at Bat water station. They had a nice trail to walk and our camp site was right next to the river. The bathroom was very warm and clean. The kitchen was also well stocked and heated so we cooked our breakfast in the kitchen. It was very mice gor them to offer us free eggs. The owner was very kind and generous. It was freezing cold and they offered us to watch TV in the heated yurt. It was obvious that the owner cared about our safety and comfort more than anything. The owners’ thoughtful hospitality made me want to come back. Thank you Karin! We appreciate your kindness and generosity. We will be back !

2 nights at Batwater Station on Columbia River

We stayed 2 nights at Batwater, Karin's beautiful piece of paradise. My 2 dogs and myself stayed in the cabin. What an absolutely magical place. The cabin itself is warm, inviting, and stocked with everything you could need. Karin's attention to detail is noticeable in the many comfort items provided. The linens were beautiful and cozy. The best was laying snuggled in bed looking out the slider door window at the river. Bird and nature sounds and sights to delight you. We walked the numerous trails along the river and meadows overlooking the wetland area. Absolutely beautiful and peaceful. The cabin was very private and quiet, we absolutely loved our time there. I already have booked again, and am sure I will be a regular visitor. This property, and it's owners are a true treasure!

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.

Pets off leash RV camping near Cannon Beach guide

Overview

Popular with day-tripping Portlanders, the coastal community of Cannon Beach offers a delightful mix of boutiques, art galleries, and seafood restaurants, along with easy access to a wide, sandy expanse of Pacific Ocean shoreline. It’s also the site of one of Oregon’s most iconic natural features, Haystack Rock, a basalt sea stack that provides a refuge for seabirds and tufted puffins. While many overnight visitors stay in the town’s many cozy inns, state parks dot the area offering tent and RV camping, either in the forest or right by the beach.

When to go

Cannon Beach attracts visitors year-round, though summers are by far the busiest time to visit. If temperatures are high in the Portland area, you’re pretty much guaranteed to encounter crowds, even on weekdays. September weekdays after local schools are back in session offer an ideal mix of relatively pleasant temperatures without big crowds. If you don't mind cooler temperatures, come in the first weekend of November for the annual Stormy Weather Arts Festival’s live music and art demonstrations.

Where to go

Oregon's North Coast

Cannon Beach is set in the heart of Oregon's North Coast, making it a great base for exploring nearby communities such as Astoria, Seaside, and Manzanita. The region is also home to tons of great hiking spots, and Ecola State Park is just a few minutes’ drive from Cannon Beach's town center.

The Columbia River

Marking the border between western Oregon and Washington, the Columbia is the largest river in the Pacific Northwest with miles of boating, fishing, and riverside hiking, plus tons of fabulous viewpoints. Head up to nearby Astoria to see the point where this massive river meets the Pacific.

The Tillamook State Forest

Occupying a wide expanse of woodlands, just inland from and south of Cannon Beach, the Tillamook State Forest is spread out over 360,000 acres of forest land, with miles of trails for hiking, mountain biking, and horseback riding.
