astoria campgrounds

Cape Dissapointment(CDSP) has full hookups. You can also say you went to Waikiki beach if you go to CDSP. Long Beach is also very near. Also a Private park at Ocean Park( end of Long Beach Penninsula) called Ocean Park Resort. Also a must see is Jack's Country Store in Ocean Park Washington.

Fort Stevens is a good Oregon State Parks campground that's not too far away:

Haven't been there with our new TT yet but I tent camped there years ago and we liked it. It does get pretty busy in the summer though.

Alternative would be to go to the Washington side of the Columbia and try out one of their parks. I haven't camped at any of them yet but I've driven through Cape Disappointment and it seemed nice enough.

Either way, it's not too long a drive to Astoria and you'll want to make a reservation as soon as possible.

The Long Beach peninsula is worth a visit if you have time. There's something like 29 miles of sand beach that you can drive on. And the food at Jimella and Nancy's Market & CafeJimella & Nancy's Market & Cafe is literally 5 star class.

Hope this helps.

KOA or Ft Stevens or across the Astoria Bridge is Cape Dissappointment SP in Washington. You better make reservation.

Good recommendations above. We camp a lot at Fort Stevens..
KOA is right across the street....July $80 with the "resort fee."
Ft. Stevens $30.

Take your bikes..great paved trails.

Late July...Make reservations NOW...especially for full Hook up.

There is a KOA right across the road from Fort Stevens state park. There are your two best choices
