    Beverly Beach State Park - Gorgeous Sunset

    I'll do this review in two parts. First part is for the state park side. There is ample parking at…read morethe park entrance and the restrooms are right beside the parking. Very easy beach access. You can easily walk to the beach in about three minutes from the time you park until the time that you touch sand. For the campground. Wow - there are a TON of camping sites. They really packed them in here. Located at the front is the check-in desk, trash & recycling, and a welcome center. At the welcome center, the staff are incredibly friendly and they sell firewood and ice during their business hours. If you camp in the spots near the park entrance, you will be blown away...literally. The wind is super strong right off the ocean. You will get a view of the ocean but you might freeze in a tent. The other camping spots are locate back away from the road and won't have a view. We reserved a spot, all the way at the very east back end of the campground. This meant that we had a short drive in past all of the other campsites. The road is paved but is narrow and had many bumps and potholes. It might be a tight fit for big trucks and big rigs. The yurt that we stayed in definitely could fit 5 people comfortably. It came with a small table with two chairs, a bunch bed with a queen on bottom and twin/full on top, plus an additional queen futon. The mattress is VERY firm and you will need you own linens and bedding. Highly recommend bringing a comforter to put under your sheets because the bed stays very cold. There is only ONE outlet in the entire place and one cadet heater. There was mold growing on the interior of the fabric of the yurt itself. So, this is not ideal for those with allergies, immune compromised, etc. The spot did have electricity, a fire pit, a water spigot, and a picnic table. However, there was literally nothing separating us from the campsite right next to us and we literally shared each meal with the strangers next to us. Why there is not bushes in between the campgrounds is shocking to me. The campsites are so on top of one another that you can hear what your neighbors are saying at a whisper, verbatim. It is very heavily wooded inside and is quite dark most of the time. The sun will come through in spots throughout the day. There is also an animal issue here so you cannot leave your coolers out or the raccoons etc. will get inside of them. The restrooms were well stocked and plenty. There were also plenty of showers. The showers have low heads and will not be ideal for those over 5'9". Overall is a pretty nice place to camp, but I would want to book all of the sites around mine next time to have some semblance of peace and privacy. Great access to so many beach and activities. Less than 10 minutes away from Walmart and shopping in Newport.

    I can't express how much I truly loved and enjoyed my visit here!! I must start with the camp host…read moreAmy!! She is truly amazing and talking to her was like talking to a friend of 20 years! She is the definition of White Glove Customer Service!! Her knowledge of the beach stones and the area were impeccable! Her kindness and welcoming spirit was infectious!! I can't wait to see her again! The campground was beautiful and the amenities were great! The beach was extremely beautiful and not crowded at all! Sunset was outstanding!!

    My cousin and I recently spent one night here on spot 52…read more While this site is advertised as a "tent site," it seems to be converted from a failed RV site. The sites were so tiny. They were really stacked on top of each other. In spite of there being shrubs between the sites, it basically felt like we were sharing a site with all of our neighbors. There was barely anywhere to pitch a tent, and the small spaces that were available were very difficult to drive even my best tent stakes into. But we managed. The bathrooms were just a short walk away, and were decently clean. The showers were decent and free. There was a small seating area near one of the camp hosts sites with wifi access where you can sit and charge your electronics and use the internet for up to 15 minutes at a time. This park seemed relatively well staffed. We saw several camp hosts and even a park ranger during our short stay. My only major irritation was that Oregon State Parks don't accept Discover online. Sites can be reserved online at least a few days ahead of time, and whatever isn't reserved at least 2 days ahead of time becomes first come first served. The Hobbit Trail and Heceta Lighthouse trail are both within a few miles. I woke up before my cousin and took the short half mile trail down to the ocean by myself. When I came back, I watched a chipmunk climb the shrubs, pick berries, and eat them sitting on the leaves. It was so cute. Overall the location can't be beat. The sites are really tiny, but in a pinch, I would stay here again.

    Absolutely stunning dog friendly beach. Pretty empty when we went and very clean. We did see lots…read moreof jellyfish washed up so take care not to let your pups grab things off the shore (+a deceased dolphin). Has plenty of parking and restrooms!

    Very friendly, great relaxing place. Been back there 4…read moretimes every year for last 3 years Always a good tims.

    Our 2nd stop in Oregon was at a clothing optional resort called The Willamettans ("The Willies" for…read moreshort). Even though it's clothing optional, most people were nude. It's the largest resort we've visited and reminded us the most of our home resort in Florida (Lake Como). There are many amenities including tennis, pickleball, shuffleboard and volleyball courts, the latter of which sadly aren't used. We've found it interesting that grass & sand volleyball aren't a popular activity out west like it is at mid-west and Eastern nudist resorts. Most hadn't even heard of "Super Bowl" (the large volleyball tournament in PA at White Thorn Lodge Nudist Resort each Labor Day...or the southern version at Lake Como in March). Actually, many hadn't even heard of Lake Como...it's been a wonderful journey telling people about the resorts in Florida and learning about all the well-known resorts out this way. The Willies boasts a large, pristine pool area with beautiful sunning decks. I love sunning and looking out at the fir trees and mountains...a common loveliness of these Pacific NW resorts! There is a nice little playground right outside the pool fence. The hot tub is enclosed and adjacent to the pool. Their large rec hall (which they call their Lodge) connects them all & offers enclosed showers & bathroom, though the outdoor pool showers were artistic & welcoming. The Lodge had the best stock of games & puzzles, a foosball & ping pong table, a coffee station, and a great array of comfy couches. This is one of a few central common areas in the resort. Another area just a little walk from the pool area houses their "Full Moon Saloon" bar & dance hall, an incredibly stocked craft room, a small merchandise store (The Bun), and a large, comfortable shower house. Plus, their cafe & snack shack are right across from the bar, offering a pretty nice fare on the weekends (there aren't snacks for sale or a community kitchen area during the week here, but there is a microwave and fridge for common use at the Lodge...and the rooms have small ones, too.) Other common areas include the dog park, trails, & sports area (as mentioned above). Near the office is their AANR-NW Library which is a treasure trove of photos, artifacts, and books about the resorts in this area. The Willies recently hosted the AANR-NW annual conference and built a really cool "Bridge to the Future" commemorating each resort or club in this region on a plaque (picture included). We had the pleasure of getting a tour from a couple of board members. They don't normally allow photos at this resort but they gave us permission & accompanied us, sharing so much about it. I was touched & impressed with their active involvement in not only their own resort, but also the greater community. They donate pounds of food every year and sponsor a local HS scholarship. The whole place is a volunteer-based co-op...everyone is asked to pitch in with the work and maintenance needed to keep the resort a premier place to live & visit. There were chore bulletin board that everyone uses to know what needs done. They were especially proud of a new project in the resort to be better stewards of the environment through a comprehensive recycling program. It is very obvious of the care and love they and the residents & members take here. You could feel it! Their landscaping was so pretty, flower beds are scattered across the grounds, and volunteers were seen working on repairs and maintenance. They have removed many old "bunkies" (cabins or RV rentals) and upgraded them. One particular one looked like a top-notch hotel room with modern decor and fresh paint & flooring. We love "rustic" but it's nice to see "well-kept rustic"! The RV spaces were the best we've seen...many have a nice patch of grass and they're all well laid out. Same with the tent spaces...each is nestled in a little wooded area of its own. We loved the social vibe of The Willies. They host an event once a month. There are lots of pictures of past events and it is apparent the fun had here. They do themed events where costumes are encouraged. Recent Alice in Wonderland and Roaring 20's party pictures were on display. We enjoyed the Wednesday night karaoke. We were on to our next resort before this weekend's Neon Glow 70's themed dance. Their biggest event is their annual Rennaissance Fair in September. We are sad we won't be in the area to participate in that. This is a place we will definitely revisit! I can see many summers spent here. The weather is perfection (not too dry, not too humid), the people were friendly, and the grounds & amenities were amazing.
