Camping in Oregon

**Discover Oregon's Camping Paradise: From Coastal Forests to Alpine Peaks** Oregon offers some of the Pacific Northwest's most diverse and rewarding camping experiences, with our analysis of 100 premier campgrounds revealing an impressive 4.4-star average rating and remarkably affordable $22 nightly fees. What sets Oregon apart is its extraordinary geographic diversity—you can wake up to crashing Pacific waves in the Coast Range, then drive inland to alpine lakes in the Cascades, all within a single day's journey. The state's camping landscape spans from sea-level coastal sites to high-elevation retreats at 7,800 feet, creating year-round opportunities for outdoor enthusiasts. Nearly every campground (93%) provides access to hiking trails, while 78% offer prime fishing spots. Winter activities are surprisingly prevalent, available at 84% of locations, making Oregon a four-season camping destination. From the mystical old-growth forests of Siuslaw National Forest to the volcanic wonders surrounding Crater Lake National Park, Oregon's ten national forests provide endless exploration opportunities. The crown jewels include Pine Mountain and Wickiup campgrounds, both earning perfect 4.8-star ratings from campers who've experienced their pristine settings. Whether you're seeking primitive tent camping (available at 97% of sites) or RV-friendly accommodations (68% of locations), Oregon delivers. The state's commitment to preserving wild spaces means fewer modern amenities—only 3% offer showers—but this rustic approach creates authentic wilderness experiences that connect you directly with Oregon's untamed natural beauty.
