    View of Bridge out of neighbor's site
    Bruce O.

    Waldport/Newport KOA - Waldport, OR July 29-30, 2025 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.

    Great location on the Oregon coast. Beautiful view from small back-in site #22 --- it was perfect and I'm so glad we got that space! We enjoyed the busy Newport area harbor and also the charming smaller town of Yachets which are both close by in opposite directions from this KOA. The KOA itself is a-ok but it's the location that we were going for, so honestly my rating is mostly for the proximity to other interesting things to do. Price per night was reasonable, spaces are close to each other, the driveway is narrow for bigger rigs but we enjoyed our 2 night stay. Ease of booking online at any KOA is a huge plus! Nice gift shop on site. We used no amenities due to COVID restrictions.

    If I could give 4 1/2 stars I would. We had a great time here and enjoyed the fact that the park was very quiet at night. All of the staff was very friendly and helpful as were the other guests we ran into! The only downside is being so close to the Hwy you might hear sirens as emergency services go by. We didn't mind the car traffic noise but the sirens can be a bit much! Also the spots aren't very wide but most have nice separation between them.

    This is such a nice place! The staff is very friendly and the grounds are nice and clean. The views are beautiful! We had a lot of fun taking the trail down to the bay at low tide and felt safer exploring with our 2 young kiddos there as opposed to out by the ocean where there were warnings for sneaker waves all weekend. It was a perfect spot for our little family and we will definitely be going back.

    Stayed here June 2022 for the second time , staff was really friendly and helpful. The path down to the beach was nice and convenient. Going across the bridge is a really nice experiences with shops, stores , grocery stores, restaurants all within walking distance or a minute drive over the bridge . Would stay here again

    I am feeling upset. I was denied accommodation at the KOA campground in Waldport OR, because our dogs look too much like a Pitbull. I had reservations for a few months for this event to spend time with all my family for my mom's birthday. When checking in they asked what breed my dogs were and i told them that i wasn't sure. I kept telling her that I'm not sure because I got them at the shelter and that they are both considered mixed breed on their vet paperwork. She kept pushing me to come up with an actual mixed breed, so I was way too truthfully and said that rowdy has some American Staffordshire terrier, but not sure the whole mix. They came out and looked at them and said "nope, we will not be able to accommodate your stay with us, they are on the list of breeds not allowed".

    Very beautiful little spot with great views from some sites. Clean bathrooms, friendly people working their, and they have nice sized trailer spots. They have hedges that separate the campsites for privacy. The store is well stocked from food, clothing, games and souvenirs. They have RV replacement hoses and other parts. They have camp gear and ice cream. Pretty much everything you could need. I will definitely stay there again.

    What a beautiful & quiet campground! The Alsea bay & bridge provide a wonderful view. It's a 1 mile walk into town. From the bridge seals & the occasional Seal lion can be seen playing in the water or sunning on the sand The bathroom/shower areas are kept very clean, as is the laundry. All the KOA staff are friendly & accommodating. We had a wonderful stay. Thank you KOA Waldport.

    What a great place, we had a site that backed up to the bay where we could see sea lions sunbathing daily.

    Every year since 2013, our extended family and close friends come to Waldport, Oregon for a fun…read morefamily crabbing vacation! We've always used McKinley's Marina in Alsea Bay for our crabbing boats and crab pots. The staff is professional, helpful and could not be nicer!!!! When we arrive at our scheduled time, they are ready to kit us out with lifejackets, crabbing boats & crab pots. The boats are fitted with a pulley to help haul in the pots full of Dungeness crab! You need to bring the bait with you (we use raw chicken quarters.) Each boat has room for up to 4 adults (and a couple of kiddos if necessary). We head out just before high tide. It's so much fun! When we get back to the dock, the staff check our crab to make sure we have legal size males (only) and they prep it and steam it right there at the docks. They even have picnic tables for us to feast on our fresh catch.

    10 days here, great site near the water. The staff were pretty awesome too, our favorite was Randy…read more Randy always checked in to see how things were going. He brought us 2 fresh crabs all cooked and ready to eat! We will certainly come back and enjoy the view and hospitality. Clean restrooms and laundry room. We walked to the best little bakery across the bridge...delicious! Town is just over the bridge if you have a need. Took nice drives to view the different beauty. Not too pricey either

    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.

    Super easy hike down to devils churn with accessible parking. I would highly recommend checking to…read moresee where the tide is at before going down for your safety. Came here with my friend on our way to Florence .
