Blackberry has been a family favorite for over 40 years. We have watched this campground grow into a beautiful spot to spend a few days relaxing and enjoying nature. With so many different types of camping spots; river side, full sun, mostly shady, there is something for everyone who is looking for a small campground with limited amenities, but a wonderful vibe. Not too far from many of the Oregon coasts greatest attractions including the Oregon Coast Aquarium, the three museums of the Lincoln County Historical Society, and Newport's working Bay Front.

Noisy! Camp host was grumpy. Didn’t want to address campers causing disturbance.

Quiet fabulous small campground. Far enough from the beach to be away from the bustle but close enough to go

What a beautiful place to camp! The hosts were great, the area beautiful, and the campsite clean. We were not bothered by the road noise at all.

The campground hosts were wonderful. They went out of their way to be helpful and kind.
For those that haven't been here before - be aware that this campground is close enough to the coast to be quite cool even when it is hot inland. We were surprised that it was so breezy. Even though it was July we were glad we had lots extra clothes to put on in the evening (we were tenting).
Most of the campsites are shaded by large trees. Our campsite (#17) was an exception as it was exposed to the hot sun in the day. It also seemed to catch the wind more than campsites that were tucked away in the trees.

- Standard cancellations usually have a $10 cancellation fee. Customers can generally cancel before the check-in date online.

Switching to the same type of campsite for the same dates usually has no change fee, but price differences are charged or refunded.
