No hookups so we used our generator. The stream was running fairly strong (May) and it really kept all the road noise away. I will definitely go here again.

July 29, 2025 - Waldport…read more Not a fan of this RV park. We booked a Bayview site, which was described as on somewhat of a bluff, with amazing views of the bay, the bay bridge, and in the distance, the beautiful Pacific Ocean. I'll include a photo of our non-view of anything except overgrown bushes. As I walked around the campground, I noticed that there are very few sites that allow for any kind of privacy. Many of the back in sites are shared, so that you back in to their back in.

Waldport/Newport KOA - Waldport, OR July 29-30, 2025…read more This KOA is just north of the Alsea Bridge crossing the wide mouth of the Alsea River. Staff were friendly and checkin was simple. We drove to our back-in site and got situated. Our site was supposedly a "Bayview" site. However our site had 8 foot tall bushes and trees behind it that blocked the view. We mentioned that to one of the grounds keepers. Big mistake on our part. For the next two days there was constant gas powered equipment cutting away at the shrubbery outside our camp. They didn't let up until 6:30 pm each day, so there was really no good time to sit outside to enjoy a beverage with no view. Since campers must check out at 11 am and new arrivals can't check in until 2 pm, I suggest they do campsite management between those hours, or other times when those campsites aren't occupied. We could see the view of the Alsea Bridge from our next-door neighbor's site, and I will say the view of the bridge is remarkable.

The river was very nice to drink morning coffee from and my husband enjoyed a late evening cigar while watching the river. Crabbing was a blast. The RV Park had showers and restrooms which is a huge plus. All in all it was a great time, and we will definitely return. one thing that could make it just a tad better is a kids area. It's a smaller area so I understand that might not be an option. Definitely would recommend this.

Yes, this park does have a few full -time RV sites, which is not an issue. We've always booked a waterfront, back in site for our stays. The view of Alsea Bay is worth it and we can watch the tides go in and out, as well as watching crabbers coming in with their haul. (They offer boat and equipment rentals for crabbing.) There is a large field on the east side of the property for dry camping and waterfront tent camping. There you'll find a beach volleyball court, a tetherball and a basketball hoop as well. I love the abundance of birds and wildlife in this area. There is a fabulous little Bakery within walking distance of this park; "Pacific Sourdough," positively worth visiting. Great location - within walking distance to the beach, downtown and the bridge.

They've…read morealso camped here other times through out the year, in September though they usually reserve up to 4 spaces. For the record, this is a nice campground. It's the customer service that could use some help. Family has always been booked on sites with full hookups, nice paved spaces. This year another family member traveled from the East coast to join in as they prefer west coast crabs. Going to check in, they were told they'd been booked in the overflow area, gravel, no hook ups. No apology, instead got major attitude from woman who's comment was"oh you've stayed out there before" - wrong & then a shrug with "You should have checked your confirmation " My family (mom, dad, aunt & uncle) are in their late 70's. Uncle a disabled vet. Having a flat, paved space with hookups would have been nice. If she'd have looked back at her records, she could have seen they'd never been in the overflow area. They'll be lucky if my family comes back. Again, great campground, but do check your confirmations (these were reserved back in April) and to be treated so rudely (this isn't the first time she's been rude) this was just the icing on the cake so to speak & thus the 2 star rating. The gentleman that works there knows my family & was apologetic, he's a great guy - just beware of the woman.

We stayed at this campground a couple weeks ago for the first time and had an excellent experience!…read moreI wasn't sure what to expect with this being the second largest campground in Oregon- would it be overwhelming with so many people, too much noise, etc? I was actually surprised how quiet it was (okay camping in a public campground is never silent but it was pretty moderate noise). The advantage of it being such a large campground too is that they had nice, well-equipped, clean facilities equally spaced out. Showers are free to use, though I didn't while we were there. A cute welcome center in the middle has info, games/books, and ice and firewood to buy and is located right next to a pretty good sized playground for kids. It's also a super dog-friendly place (we brought our 75# boy with us) and everyone there seemed to be mindful of their own dogs with leashes/cleaning up. Honeyman is located close to the heart of Florence and close to lots of recreation activities - dunes, beach, two lakes, etc. We enjoyed a quick walk over to Cleawox Lake each day to play, and rented a paddle boat too! The only downside is that like most Oregon State Park campgrounds you do need to plan quite a bit ahead to reserve your spot online. It's very difficult to get a spot last minute or day of in the busy times (late spring - summer - fall).

Devils Churn is one of the coolest geological formations I've ever seen…read more As the tide comes in, the waves are concentrated in the basalt chasm (the result of an ancient collapsed lava tube), where they gain speed, ricochet against themselves, creating the "churn" look. It looks like a giant ocean bathtub full of violent butter. The waves splash dozens of feet in the air, filling tide pools on the basalt cliffs, and then cascading back down over the edges in a circular formation of infinite waterfalls. It looks like something you would imagine you would see in Iceland. The churn can be seen from a viewing area close to the parking lot, but it's just a short half mile hike down to the shore. Even though people have been washed out to sea from this site, these people had gone beyond the official trail, into the actual tide pool area above the churn. So, as long as you're on the trail, you're probably safe. I held on to the wooden rail just in case a big wave came, but noticed that the very bottom rung had been washed out. There is enough parking for about twenty cars at the information center, which is staffed by the Forest Service on limited hours/days. Parking is $5 or free with an NPS, Forest Service, or other federal interagency pass. I've actually been here a few times now. Valentine's Day was pretty crowded, and the visitor center was open. I had to leave before high tide, but was mesmerized. So, I ended up coming back during high tide a few days later. At one point, I saw the ocean throw an entire tree onto the ledge-- only to reclaim it a few minutes later. Falling in to the churn would almost certainly result in death. Some of the waves looked like they were going 25mph once they entered the chasm. Plus it's full of huge logs being violently churned around. But just half mile down the trail, there is a calm, serene beach with really pretty rocks. Continuing on, you can actually hike to Thors Well from here. I can't believe I'd never even heard of this place until I stumbled upon it by accident after visiting Thors Well. Personally I actually found the churn more impressive and mesmerizing to watch.

The traffic died down as night fell and the babbling river right next door covered any sound cars in the middle of the night might have made, at least from where we were camping. And there was no traffic at all in the early morning. The bathroom in the day use area, next to where we were camping, was spotless at all times. The camp host was friendly and laughed at all my jokes and had plenty of firewood. We loved it here, and would love to stay here again. Motorcyclists - i highly recommend spot #14! There is a lot of light - not the greatest place to star gaze. But still loved it. Not sure if everyone was quite during quiet hours because they cared or because the camp host is strict - either way, it was awesome.
