Camping Oregon Style


For the past week we've been enjoying Oregon State Parks along the stunning coast of Oregon. I'd really recommend them as a place to stay. They're clean and nicely laid out, and every one has been in a superb location. Most parks have had recycling stations and they are being very environmentally conscientious when it comes to water and washroom comfort. The washrooms aren't heated and the water is warm, at best, for a shower. However, when living out of a camper van who is going to complain about free showers? Another thing I love is that checkout time is 1 p.m. so there's lots of time to spend exploring or walking in the a.m. In the so-called "discovery season" the rates are very reasonable. The park pictured here is at Nehelam Bay, just outside of Manzanita, OR. So let's hear it for Oregon State Parks!
