    Haystack Rock - Lighthouse

    This was a destination I had been looking forward to visiting for years after seeing pictures and…read morehearing stories of other peoples' experiences at Cannon Beach ! First, the drive here along Route 26, from Portland, was just stunning as you drive through the forested areas. On this occasion a blanket of fog enveloped the valley and the pictures just don't do it justice as to how it looked in person. I went during the "off-season" right at the end of October and for me this was a great time to visit, as there were not too many people on the actual beach and it also made parking much easier. You can park in areas off the street, however, be careful as much of it you are not allowed to park on. If you park at "Haystack Rock" Public Parking it's just a short walk to the Cannon Beach Access. On this particular day a big storm was moving in and it really created a great atmosphere to photograph in with the moody skies and the ocean getting a bit more turbulent as the waves crashed into the seastacks. Would have loved to catch a sunset here, however, will have to do that on another visit and maybe a different time of the year to compare experiences. The trip didn't disappoint and highly recommend stopping here and exploring other parts of the Oregon Coast!

    The "Goonies Rock" is no where near Astoria like the movie makes it out to be. No matter what, it…read moreis absolutely worth the drive. Parking is non-existent because you have to walk down a pathway between two houses to get to there, I mean of course there are probably areas North or South of the actual rock but I am not aware of them myself. We were lucky and able to find a spot directly across the pathway that just happened to have someone pulling out. Walking down that pathway, I took a video and love how it shows the beauty of the area just opening up. It was more than I could have wished for after growing up loving the movie Goonies and was delighted that we got there when we did. Tide was out, so the dreamy tide pools that you see associated with the northwest coastlines were accessible and all the wonderful wildlife that live within them. Also, we were able to watch the sunset, which was cloud covered but who cares. While walking around, it first started with just rolling up my pants, so then having a misstep and one of my shoes getting soaked so then I was like, oh well, off with the shoes and walk around freely to be able to go rock to rock or wade around to get to the numerous tidepools. All worth the super cold feet later on in the car. There is just something about seeing everything in the wild vs in various zoos or aquariums. It was by far my favorite part of our trip to Portland and something I'd love to revisit again, regardless of the distance and drive back.

Absolutely stunning views. *Privacy in campgrounds: 1 star You will enjoy no separation from neighboring campsites. Enjoy dinner with all other surrounding sites staring at you! Plus, if tent camping, you can hear the neighbors whisper. *Cleanliness of campsite: 5 stars Not a piece of trash in the campsite. Was well cleaned. *Location of restrooms/showers: 4 stars Took less than 2 minutes to walk to the restrooms/showers located in the center of the loop. *Cleanliness of restrooms: 3 stars Not good, not bad. Floors haven't been swept in a long time. Everywhere is sticky. *Cleanliness of showers: 1 star F-loop showers were NASTY. Fishing lure in the drain, hair on the walls, gum stuck to the floor, diapers left inside. WEAR SHOES WHILE YOU SHOWER. E-Loop showers next door were much, much more reasonable. *Noise: 1 star Quiet hours are from 10pm-7am. However, it is not enforced. Every single other camper quieted down around 10pm. Except for one exceptionally loud group who continued to be loud and obnoxious until midnight. We were harassed by this group but didn't have a problem with anyone else. CALL THE PARK ASAP if you are having issues like this early in the day because they don't patrol.(503)861‑3170 x 21. *They sell wood and ice at a reasonable price with a drop box for cash payment. *Is less than a 15 minute drive to Fred Meyer. *There is a giant playground and they were offering Junior Ranger "classes" for kids. *Bike, Kayak, and Paddle-board rentals were available.

This camping trip they had a free concert on the lawn by the battery. I love that the golf carts drive by to bring you firewood for a standard $7 fee. Terrible reception and cellular in the park.

    The city of Astoria, Oregon will forever be linked to the classic 1980's movie, The Goonies. It was…read morehere in this coastal port city where many of the scenes were filmed. So if you are a fan of The Goonies, here are places around Astoria that are worthwhile for visiting.... Check out the Oregon Film Museum. It's $6 entry and a quick 30 minute stop. Outside the museum is the front facade of the jail cell where the Fratelli's brother escaped at the start of the movie. And...you'll notice the black Jeep Cherokee parked outside the museum which was the actual model they used in the film. So cool! The museum is out of date and a preservation of history and the 300+ films made in Oregon. Don't expect much out of the experience. It's a mom and pop type of museum, but still very worthwhile if you're a Goonie. Right beside the Oregon Film Museum is the Flavel House Museum. This is where Mikey's father worked as the museum's curator. When the boys were riding their bicycles down the street readying to search for One Eyed Willie's fortunes, they say hello to Mikey's dad as he's raising the American flag here at the Flavel Museum. You can take a tour inside, but I just took a photo outside of it. Next, drive a few miles down the road to Mikey and Brandon Walsh's actual home from the movie. Granted, it's not accessible inside as it's a real residential home in a real neighborhood. Still, they allow you to walk up to the house for photos and possibly do the "truffle shuffle" if you're daring, lol. The address is... 368 38th Street Astoria, OR 97103 Btw...they ask you to park a little bit away from the house and be respectful of the properties when walking through the neighborhood. Although the house has recently been painted, you could definitely sense it being the same home to the actual one from the film. This has no connection to The Goonies film, but going to the summit of Astoria at the Astoria Column is a nice way to spend some time. You can climb to the top of the 126 foot column for views from high above. It showcases scenic surroundings of the Columbia River and the bridge connecting Washington and Oregon. It's just a $5 entrance fee. You can spend an hour or two here. For me, getting a photo with the Welcome to Astoria sign was something interesting. For my first visit to town, I wanted to make sure that it was official and in the record books, lol. There are two signs at both ends of town. They can't be missed if you drive a little towards the outskirts of the downtown area. Astoria isn't a big city and just a few miles total in length. Finally, in the heart of the downtown walking area you could visit the Columbia River Maritime Museum or simply stroll around Astoria and take in the sights along the waterfront. More Goonies stops 30 miles outside Astoria... - Cannon Beach - the ending scene of the movie where One Eyed Willie's pirate ship sails away in the distance. - Ecola State Park - scene where the Fratelli's hideout was located. It was called the Lighthouse Lounge. It was built for the film, but taken down afterwards. Overall, I had a wonderful time getting to relive my Goonies childhood here in Astoria, Oregon. The flashbacks were surreal. It was a great escape away from reality and back to simpler times. Of course I had to rewatch the film when I returned home. Thank you Astoria, Oregon for preserving the history of The Goonies.

It sits on the Columbia River bar which is a fascinating body of water in and of itself - with a long history of turbulent violence, earning it the nickname "Graveyard of the Pacific". Astoria is Oregon's oldest city (founded in 1811) and the first permanent American settlement west of the Rockies! It even has a sister city in Walldorf, Germany! The town boasts a beautiful bridge and a tall column on a hill that you can climb for some incredible views. The maritime museum is not to be missed - and be sure to do the Riverwalk too! There are info signs all over the place telling you fun tidbits of the city's history. And of course you can't miss all the fun locations from the 80s classic The Goonies! The people are all very friendly. Lots of great restaurants as well. Don't miss out on Pier 39 for the BEST morning coffee EVER at Coffee Girl with incredible views surrounded by all that history! The city is surrounded by state parks and tons of natural areas and hiking trails as well for when you've exhausted all there is in Astoria itself. It feels mostly safe - there are some homeless in the area but they're not aggressive. I've been here several times and will undoubtedly be back!!

    Fort Stevens is the campground for people adverse to "roughing it". There are seemingly more RV…read moresites than "traditional" tent camping ones, complete with electrical and plumbing hookups. Not to mention rentable yurts and cabins, (hot!) showers, (relatively) clean restroom facilities, and even a firewood delivery service, right to your campsite! Fort Stevens is also massive: miles of hikeable/bikeable trails, sandy beaches, a lake with a boat ramp, a shipwreck, a disc golf course, a military history museum (and gift shop), and several abandoned military installations and batteries to hike and explore. There's more to see and do here than can be experienced in a single camping trip, and after more than a half dozen visits to the park, I'm still discovering new secrets! Also, keep an eye on the various post boards around the park, in which special events, such as storybook readings, put on by the Friends of Fort Stevens, occur on many a summer night. As I mentioned earlier, this is camping only in the loosest sense of the word, in that you're sleeping outside (well, if you're not in an RV, yurt or cabin). The campsites are relatively small, and close together, but that is also part of the charm, particularly for children: they're all but guaranteed to make some new friends during your stay here, as there will be rugrats running around, skating, riding bikes, exploring, and likely yelling and screaming all around you, for as long as the daylight persists. Intimacy and privacy does not exist here. There are better places to camp in the Pacific Northwest, particularly for those who desire privacy, serenity, an escape from noise and the presence of others, and a place to commune with and be surrounded by nature (and nature only). Those places exist, but Fort Stevens is not one of them. Despite all that, I have a sentimental attachment to this place, thanks to childhood memories of camping here in my youth. Now, I'm hoping to impart similar memories on my children. Fort Stevens may not be *for* everyone, but it *has something* for everyone. If you can't see that, go get lost in the woods elsewhere.
