The campground and bathrooms were clean and we loved the beaches that were so close but unfortunately we would never stay here again because the mosquitoes were so bad that even with 2 citronella candles burning in our small site and applying spray on ourselves every hour we are all covered in giant bites and are absolutely miserable. We left the campground a day earlier than we had planned because there was no escaping the bugs. Super unfortunate because if they weren’t so bad the campground would be great.

It was a miserable camping experience. It rained and when it wasn't raining the misquote were so bad you couldn't even go from your truck to trailer fast enough. Zero cell service with verizon.

Have been enjoying this beautiful campgrounds, since 2004. What's not to love about it? You've got 15 miles of beach, 7 miles of paved trails, excellent campsites, and bathroom facilities. It's extremely well maintained. It has a beautiful trout filled lake with easy kayaking access. This has to be the number one campground along the entire OREGON coastline.

The Fort Steven's Campground has alot of RV spots to hook up at good rates, the beach is within about a mile distance to most rv camping spots. The areas are clean, there is firewood for sell on site as well. So much to see and do here, you can easily do it in 2 days.

Prices are on a range depending on the type of site you are booking. Plus, Oregon has price differentiatoin for in-state campers and out-of-state campers, so any pricing I could research online and post here might not apply to your situation. I strongly recommend visiting the Oregon State Parks web site and look up available sites on their booking engine through Reserve America to get exact pricing.
Yes you can, it is a great state park, reservations through reserve america. Com
It depends on if your in a tent or RV. And also if you want full hook up. Bathrooms are open but showers are closed. You also may have to move if you plan on staying awhile.As some sites may be booked for certain dates
You have to buy their firewood. Don't burn Driftwood. See reamer office for areas that are OK vs. off limits... Some areas are wildlife refuge areas.
Do you mean WiFi? No. In fact cellular connections in the park are weak to non-existant. Ironically, you'll find good cellular service on the beach. The geography and the vegiation which surround the campground really limits cell signal at campsites.
Reservations open six months before the starting date of your stay. It is usually full most of the summer so getting multiple nights without a reservation during the busy time is next to impossible. There is no wifi in the park and cell service is limited.
No, they do not have a fireworks show. No, you are not allowed to set off fireworks in any state or national parks, or any public lands.
They have firepits and BBQs with propane.
Yes
I think there is now. Not totally sure, but that's what I herd.
The sites with hookups for a motor home are around $35 a night I believe!
We had a Class A and a tent at one campsite. The motorhome and the site was the normal site fee. The additional campers were charged an additional vehicle fee.
Only stay in RV there. Don't know about them. They look nice to stay in.
During the high season, yes. Fort Stevens is a very popular campground and sites for summer dates will book up a soon as Oregon makes sites available for booking, which is 6 months in advance. Nothing prevents you from showing up and checking in at the ranger station to see if there are any unreserved sites, but that is a gamble, especially in July and August.
I believe it is still open.
No. And cellular service in the campground is weak or doesn't exist, depending on the carrier.
Check in was very simple. Site was available early but if not parking area at check in is quite large. Plenty of room for many RV's.
All cell service is spotty at best.
Services at sites vary, check with the Oregon State Parks site on Reserve America for specific details. Most sites have power and water. A few loops in the park have sewer in addition to power and water. Warrington is a small city adjacent to Astoria. You'll find provisions and services in both cities. I'm sure that self-storage is available in both Warrington and Astoria, not so at the park.
Yes you can drive on the beach of the wreck of the Peter Iredale.
Not sure haven't seen that one
Well some campgrounds have designated sites that are walk-up only and not reservable online. I ask because I can see that currently every site is reserved online
Some of the sites are pretty deep and I have seen some large motorhomes in them.. I would just call them and they can tell you which sites would accommodate
The best answer is that cell service in the campground is very spotty. My experience with AT&T was very poor, basically no service in spite of the phone indicating that I had service. A friend I was camping with had Verison and he could take and make calls and send/receive SMS text messages, but had no Internet or data service. You'll find much better cell phone signal on the beach or outside of the park on Ridge Rd., or in any of the little hamlets nearby.
There are south loops and north loops at the campground. The dividing line is Peter Iredale road, which is the road that takes you into the park to the ranger station. I like the north loops better, they are more cookie cutter, a series of campground loops with a mix of back in and pull through sites. The north loops are smaller in circumference than the south loops. Only two of the north loops have full hookups. The rest of the north loops are partial hookup. The south loops have more hookups, but also have yurts in some of the loops. The south loops are also larger in circumference. All loops are covered in tall trees and sunshine can be easily obscured by the tree cover. Sites are pretty close together and there isn't a lot of privacy in any of the loops. There aren't a lot of views in the campground. The campground is nesteled in a depression which is entirely forest. You'll need to use the paved trail system to get out to the beach to see the wreck and the ocean.
They are pretty easy going. Just let them know if you need a later checkout.
They're free. Single rooms that you can lock. They're quite nice actually.
All State Parks save a few sites as first come first serve for one night only. There could be execptions though.
Probably just depends on the size of the individual site. I think there is a 7-8 person, 2 car max per site. It would say on their website.
To the best of my knowledge all campsites have a fire ring with a pot grate. I'm not sure I would put any food directly on the grate of the fire pit, at least not prior to wraping the food in foil. The pot grate is best used if you have a cast iron dutch oven or fry pan.
