Fort Stevens campground located just outside of Astoria, OR is one of our favorite places to visit on the Oregon Coast. It is one of the closest beach towns to Portland, OR and the campground is set back from the ocean protected by large pine trees. The campsites are fairly close together but most offer private space for our campfire ring and picnic table. The paved spots are essential in such a rainy place. It has rained every time we have been to Fort Stevens State Park! The park is within about 10 to 15 minutes from the town of Astoria where you can explore shopping and some great little eateries. I would recommend the campsite loops C-J and the best spots are the ones on the backside of each loop. They back up to lush rain forest type vegetation and are more private.
The park is home to the Peter Iredale historical ship wreckage, Coffenbury Lake, a military museum, and an underground gun battery that served as a WWII command center.
