We absolutely love this park. Was our first visit, and we are hooked. The access to a lake and a beach on one road is pretty awesome! The bike rentals are completely worth it. The trails were extensive. The site was large and made our experience just fantastic! Will absolutely return to camp again!
Stayed in loop G, March 2025. Sites were pretty small and practically right on top of neighboring sites, even on the outer side of the loop. That being said, the area is clean and well maintained, the showers are hot and included in the camp fee, and the park has great access to trails and the beach. They might open more firewood spots later in the season, but if you arrive after dark like me and miss the sign, right now it’s sold in a centralized spot in loop H.
Very big state park campground, very clean and well maintained. Really loved the paved trails around it for biking and hiking. The views of the Pacific Ocean are so beautiful especially the sunset, unforgettable. Had strong cellphone signal with T-Mobile. The only downside is that some sites are too close to each other. We had site #84, the 2 sites on each side have big group with RV and tents, one tent almost touched our RV. The campground has many loops, north loops are easier for big rigs, the outer line sites seems relatively spacious. This is one of the best state parks we have stayed in our more than 15 years traveling experience, the rangers are very friendly and supportive.
Always an amazing place to stay and also Camp Host too! Everything you need to enjoy time with the family or even as a solo traveler. The beach, lakes, forest, trails, biking paths, mushroom picking, and more. There is also a battery and another historical area.
Fort Stephens State Park is a grand historical campground that has kept with the outdoorsy feel even during these modern times. Campgrounds are always clean and kept by park hosts between visitors. The ranger station has plenty of information about the area so don't hesitate to ask any questions you may have about the Fort. There are daily events at the amphitheater that will help connect you to the outdoor, the Oregon coast and of course Fort Stephens itself. There are many historical buildings around the fort, including Battery Russell which was historic heavy gun battery setup to protect the inlet of the Columbia River during WWII. Many bike paths and trails to walk and explore. You will remember your experience at Fort Stephens for a lifetime!
