"There are a lot of beautiful places along Oregon's coastline, but you have to know where to look."

"It’s quite common now that people arrive early in the morning or late afternoon with no reservation whatsoever," said another ranger who asked not to be named because he was not authorized by management to speak publicly about this topic. "They just come off the highway and expect there will be an open site."

"Reservations are strongly recommended for camping at Yaquina Head, Devil’s Punchbowl and Cape Lookout."

"For state park campgrounds on the coast that do not take reservations by phone or internet, it is best to arrive early in the day. Many of these parks have smaller campsites with limited shade."

"If you can't get a site at one coastal state park, try another—sites fill quickly during spring break and summer weekends."

"Camping on the beach doesn't come cheap: Sites cost $35 per night. But here's an insider tip: Half of those fees are rebated back to you if you stay two or more nights."

"Some Oregon State Parks allow dogs on their beaches for a small nightly fee, but they must be leashed and under your control at all times."

"As long as fires aren't prohibited by local fire bans (which they often are in the summer), campfires can not only provide warmth and comfort, but also help cook meals like s'mores over an open flame"

"Please don’t feed wild animals while camping; it is unhealthy for them and could potentially threaten public safety. Feeding wildlife violates state law."

"Tent campers, car campers and RV guests can all find quiet campsites along the Oregon coast."

"It is illegal to drive on sand dunes in most places, but if you must do it please use caution when approaching others. Don’t be that guy who drives over someone else’s tent or picnic area."
