Camping near Rockaway Beach
Rockaway Beach sits on the north Oregon Coast in Tillamook County, with seven miles of sand stretching between the Nehalem Bay jetty and the Port of Garibaldi. The town is about an hour and a half from Portland via Highway 26 and Highway 101, making it a practical base for RV travelers heading to the coast for a weekend or longer.
RV options cluster around the two bays that flank the town. To the north on Nehalem Bay, Jetty Fishery Marina and RV Park, Brighton Marina and RV Park, and Kelly's Brighton Marina sit directly on the water and lean toward crabbing and fishing trips. To the south near Tillamook Bay, Port of Garibaldi RV Park and Harborview Inn and RV Park place campers steps from the working waterfront, charter docks, and seafood markets.
Most area parks operate year-round, though services can be reduced outside summer. Tillamook County Parks also runs several campgrounds in the surrounding area, and Nehalem Bay State Park anchors the region with full-hookup loops, yurts, and a horse camp on the sand spit south of Manzanita.
Things to do in Rockaway Beach
Crabbing and clamming drive much of the trip planning here. Kelly's Brighton Marina rents boats, traps, and bait on Nehalem Bay and will cook your catch, and the Port of Garibaldi offers dock crabbing and charter fishing on Tillamook Bay. An Oregon shellfish license is required and can be picked up locally.
In town, the Rockaway Beach Wayside provides the main beach access, with kite flying, beachcombing, and tide pooling around the Twin Rocks and the Three Graces formations just south toward Garibaldi. The Cedar Wetlands Preserve has a short boardwalk loop through old-growth sitka spruce and western red cedar, including the Rockaway Big Tree.
The Oregon Coast Scenic Railroad runs vintage trains between Rockaway Beach, Garibaldi, and Wheeler in summer and during spring break, with views of Tillamook Bay along the route.

Summer is the short, dry, busy window on this coast. June through August brings highs in the mid-60s Fahrenheit, the lowest rainfall of the year, and the highest demand for sites. Reservations at Nehalem Bay State Park and the private marinas should be locked in well in advance, with Oregon State Parks releasing sites six months ahead at 6:00 a.m. Pacific time.
Fall and spring are the shoulders. September and October typically deliver pleasant weather with thinner crowds and good fishing on the bays. March through May is wetter but workable, with wildflowers and quieter campgrounds. A seasonal beach restriction for western snowy plover nesting is in effect at Nehalem Bay from March 15 to September 15 south of the main day-use area.
Winter is the wet season. November through February is the rainiest stretch, with frequent Pacific storms, strong winds, and storm watching as a draw rather than beach weather. Boat docks at Nehalem Bay are typically removed October through May.
How to book in Rockaway Beach
Nehalem Bay State Park takes reservations through the Oregon State Parks system on ReserveAmerica or by phone at 800-452-5687, up to six months in advance on a rolling basis. Loops D, E, and F at Nehalem Bay are first-come, first-served from November 1 to April 30, which is useful for off-season trips and last-minute plans.
Private parks near the water, including Jetty Fishery Marina and RV Park, Brighton Marina and RV Park, Kelly's Brighton Marina, Port of Garibaldi RV Park, and Harborview Inn and RV Park, each take direct bookings by phone or through their own websites. Waterfront and full-hookup sites turn over fastest, so book summer weekends and holiday weeks as soon as dates open.
What to expect in Rockaway Beach
Coastal weather is variable in every season. Fog, wind, and short rain showers can roll in even during summer, so plan for layers and rain gear regardless of the forecast. Surf is cold year-round, and the National Weather Service routinely flags sneaker waves and rip currents as serious risks for anyone near the water.
Sites near the bays put crab pots, kayaks, and small boats within walking distance, but many waterfront sites trade privacy for the view. Cell coverage and Wi-Fi vary by park and can be slow when campgrounds are full.
Wildlife is part of the experience. Expect elk in town in the cooler months, harbor seals around the marinas, bald eagles along the bays, and active shorebird nesting on the south end of the Nehalem spit in spring and summer.

Frequently asked questions about campgrounds near Rockaway Beach, OR
How much does it cost to rent an RV in Rockaway Beach, OR?
An RV rental in Rockaway Beach is one of the more affordable ways to experience the Oregon Coast. On RVezy, travel trailers typically run $90 to $175 per night, camper vans range from $135 to $225, and larger Class C motorhomes average $175 to $300 per night. Summer (July and August) is peak pricing because the beach town fills up fast, so booking in May, June, or September can save you 20 to 30 percent. For the cheapest RV rental in Rockaway Beach, look for travel trailers with delivery included and filter for hosts offering weekly discounts. Pro tip: weekday Sunday through Thursday stays often unlock lower nightly rates on the same RV.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Rockaway%20Beach%2C%20OregonWhat license do I need to rent an RV in Rockaway Beach, Oregon?
Great news for first-time renters: a regular driver's license is all you need to rent an RV in Rockaway Beach, OR. Oregon does not require a commercial driver's license (CDL) or any special RV endorsement for the motorhomes, camper vans, and travel trailers listed on RVezy. You'll just need to meet RVezy's approved driver requirements (generally 25 or older) and verify your ID through the platform during booking, which takes just a few minutes. Visiting from outside the U.S.? Bring your home-country license plus an International Driving Permit (IDP) and you're set. Most renters on Highway 101 are surprised how straightforward the process is, even if it's their first time behind the wheel of a motorhome.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360039008774-Understanding-approved-driver-requirementsIs RV insurance and roadside assistance included with my Rockaway Beach rental?
Yes, every RVezy booking includes a renter protection plan and 24/7 roadside assistance, so you can hit Highway 101 with confidence. The protection plan covers damages to the vehicle during your trip, and you choose your coverage level during checkout, not the host. It provides meaningful financial protection if something unexpected happens, from a cracked windshield on a windy coastal drive to a flat tire on the way to Cape Meares. Roadside help is just a phone call away, day or night, anywhere in Oregon. Pro tip: choose a higher protection tier if you're new to RVing on the coast, where salt air and gusty winds can be unpredictable.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/34008759079835-RVezy-renter-protection-plans-in-detailWhat if I need to cancel my Rockaway Beach RV rental?
Booking is low-risk: RVezy sets a clear, consistent cancellation policy on every reservation, including a full money-back grace period right after you book. Cancellation outcomes depend on how far out from your trip you cancel. Because RVezy, not the host, handles cancellation policies, you get the same process no matter which RV you choose. If a coastal storm or wildfire smoke event affects your dates, contact RVezy support and they'll walk you through your options. If the host cancels your booking, RVezy provides a full refund or travel credit. Pro tip: book early for July and August when Rockaway Beach fills up, knowing the grace period gives you breathing room to confirm plans.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360037736674-Understanding-the-cancellation-policy-for-guestsCan I bring my dog on a Rockaway Beach RV trip?
Absolutely, and Rockaway Beach is one of the most dog-friendly stretches of the Oregon Coast. Many hosts on RVezy offer pet-friendly RV rentals in Rockaway Beach; just toggle the Pet-Friendly filter when you search. The seven miles of sandy beach here allow leashed dogs year-round, and nearby Nehalem Bay State Park welcomes leashed pets on trails and the beach. Barview Jetty County Park, just north of town, is also dog-welcoming and great for sunset walks. Some hosts charge a small pet fee (typically $25 to $75 per trip) to cover extra cleaning. Pro tip: message the host before booking to confirm pet rules, and pack a towel; wet, sandy paws are guaranteed after a beach run.
stateparks.oregon.gov/index.cfm?do=park.profile&parkId=131Can the RV be delivered to my campground in Rockaway Beach?
Yes, RV delivery in Rockaway Beach is one of the easiest ways to start your trip, especially if it's your first time renting an RV. Many RVezy hosts based in Tillamook County will deliver to local campgrounds like Barview Jetty County Park, Nehalem Bay State Park, or Cape Lookout State Park, set up the RV, level it, connect water and power, and walk you through every system before they leave. Delivery fees usually range from $2 to $4 per mile from the host's location, with some hosts offering free delivery within a set radius. Just filter for Delivery on RVezy. Pro tip: delivery is a game-changer if you're flying into Portland International Airport and don't want to tow a trailer over the Coast Range.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Rockaway%20Beach%2C%20OregonHow far can I drive on an RV road trip from Rockaway Beach?
Rockaway Beach is a perfect basecamp for exploring the Oregon Coast and beyond. Popular routes from Rockaway Beach include Cannon Beach and Haystack Rock (about 25 miles north, 40 minutes), Tillamook Creamery (17 miles south, 25 minutes), Cape Lookout State Park (35 miles south, about an hour), Astoria and the Columbia River (about 55 miles north, just over an hour), and Portland (about 85 miles east, around 2 hours via Highway 6). Many hosts offer RV rentals with generous mileage allowances, and some include unlimited mileage. Check each listing for the daily mileage cap and per-mile overage rate. Pro tip: the scenic loop south to Pacific City and back makes a stunning day trip without burning through your mileage allowance.
tripcheck.com/What are the best campgrounds near Rockaway Beach, OR?
You're spoiled for choice. The best campgrounds near Rockaway Beach include Barview Jetty County Park (just north of town with full-hookup sites and ocean views), Nehalem Bay State Park (about eight miles north with electric sites and direct beach access through the dunes), Cape Lookout State Park (south near Tillamook with full and partial hookups and old-growth forest), and Kelly's Brighton Marina (a quirky bayfront spot with crabbing rentals). For RV camping in Rockaway Beach itself, Rockaway Beach RV Park sits walking distance from the sand. Pro tip: Oregon State Parks open reservations six months in advance, and summer weekends at Nehalem Bay book out the moment that window opens.
stateparks.oregon.gov/index.cfm?do=park.profile&parkId=131When is the best time of year for an RV trip to Rockaway Beach?
Rockaway Beach is a year-round destination, but the sweet spot is July through September when daytime highs typically reach the mid-60s to low 70s and rainfall drops significantly. Late spring (May and June) brings wildflowers, fewer crowds, and highs in the upper 50s to low 60s. Fall (October) is magic for storm-watching from a cozy RV with the heater running. Winter is wet and windy, with highs in the mid-40s and famous Pacific storms drawing photographers from across the country. Pro tip: shoulder seasons mean lower nightly rates and easier campground reservations, and you'll still get plenty of dry days between systems.
weather.gov/pqr/I've never driven an RV before. Will I be okay on the Oregon Coast?
You've got this, and you're not alone. Most renters booking a motorhome rental in Rockaway Beach are first-timers. Every RVezy host provides a full walkthrough at pickup, covering driving, leveling, hookups, the propane system, and the gray and black tanks. Highway 101 along the north Oregon Coast is well-maintained, with wide lanes and frequent pullouts for slower-moving vehicles. The drive from Portland over Highway 26 or Highway 6 has some curves through the Coast Range, but nothing intimidating in a Class C or camper van. Pro tip: if you're nervous about the mountain crossing, book a host who offers delivery directly to your Rockaway Beach campground; you skip the driving entirely and just enjoy the trip.
tripcheck.com/What happens if my RV breaks down during my Rockaway Beach trip?
You're covered. Every RVezy rental includes 24/7 roadside assistance as part of the protection plan, so help is one phone call away whether you're parked at Barview Jetty or driving the Three Capes Scenic Loop. Roadside covers flat tires, lockouts, battery jumps, fuel delivery, and towing to the nearest qualified repair shop. Your host is also typically just a text away for quick troubleshooting questions, like resetting the GFCI outlet or relighting the water heater. Cell service is generally good in Rockaway Beach and along Highway 101, though it can drop briefly in the Coast Range. Pro tip: save the RVezy support number and your host's number to your phone before you leave the pickup location.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/34008759079835-RVezy-renter-protection-plans-in-detailCan I take my Rockaway Beach RV rental into Washington or California?
Often yes, and it makes for an epic Pacific Coast road trip from Rockaway Beach. Many RVezy hosts allow interstate travel within the U.S., including up Highway 101 into Washington (Long Beach Peninsula is only about 90 miles north) or south through Lincoln City and on to the redwoods of northern California. Cross-border travel into Canada may be allowed depending on the host and protection plan, so message them before booking to confirm. Travel into Mexico is not permitted on any RVezy rental because the protection coverage doesn't extend there. Pro tip: a one-way trip is sometimes possible too; just ask the host directly through the listing whether they'll accept a drop-off elsewhere.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360039340074-Insurance-coverage-validityHow much should I budget for fuel on a Rockaway Beach RV trip?
Easier than you'd think to estimate. Most Class C motorhomes get 8 to 12 miles per gallon, camper vans get 16 to 22 mpg, and travel trailers depend on your tow vehicle. Gas prices in Tillamook County typically run slightly higher than the Portland metro, so filling up in Beaverton or Hillsboro on Highway 26 before heading west can save you a bit per gallon. A typical four-night Rockaway Beach RV trip with day excursions to Cannon Beach, Tillamook Creamery, and Cape Meares burns roughly 30 to 50 gallons total. Pro tip: Oregon recently expanded self-service fueling statewide, but many coastal stations still offer attendant service, so be ready for either at the pump.
oregon.gov/odot/Data/Pages/Fuels-Tax.aspxHow far ahead should I book a campground near Rockaway Beach?
For summer weekends, book the moment reservations open. Oregon State Parks (including Nehalem Bay and Cape Lookout) release reservations six months in advance, and prime July and August dates can sell out within minutes. Tillamook County parks like Barview Jetty also open six months out and fill quickly. For weekday stays or shoulder-season visits in May, June, September, or October, a few weeks of lead time is usually plenty. Private parks like Rockaway Beach RV Park often have more flexibility. Pro tip: set a calendar reminder for exactly six months before your target check-in date, log in five minutes before the reservation window opens, and have your site preferences ready.
stateparks.oregon.gov/index.cfm?do=v.page&id=82What are driving conditions like around Rockaway Beach?
Generally relaxed and very RV-friendly. Highway 101 through Rockaway Beach is a two-lane coastal highway with a reduced speed limit through town and faster open stretches between communities, with plenty of pullouts. The biggest variables are weather and wind: winter storms can bring gusty crosswinds along exposed beach sections and occasional fog, while summer is typically dry and mild. The Coast Range drive on Highway 6 or Highway 26 from Portland has steady grades and a few tight curves but no white-knuckle sections in a standard motorhome. Watch for elk near Tillamook at dawn and dusk. Pro tip: check TripCheck (Oregon DOT's live road conditions site) before you drive over the range, especially November through March.
tripcheck.com/What amenities can I expect at Rockaway Beach campgrounds?
Most campgrounds near Rockaway Beach are well-equipped for a comfortable RV stay. Nehalem Bay State Park offers electric hookups, hot showers, flush toilets, and a dump station. Barview Jetty County Park has full-hookup sites with water, sewer, and 30/50-amp electric. Cape Lookout State Park provides full-hookup and partial-hookup loops. For dumping and water fills on the go, you'll find dump stations at most state parks and at Rockaway Beach RV Park. Wi-Fi varies; expect spotty coverage at state parks and decent connection at private parks. Pro tip: bring a 25-foot freshwater hose and a 30-to-50-amp adapter so you're ready for any site configuration along the coast.
stateparks.oregon.gov/index.cfm?do=park.profile&parkId=137What's typically included inside an RV rental in Rockaway Beach?
More than you might expect. A typical RV rental in Rockaway Beach, OR comes fully equipped with a queen or king bed, a functional kitchen (fridge, stove, microwave, sink, cookware, and dishes), an enclosed bathroom with shower and toilet, climate control (furnace and often AC), and seatbelted seating for travel. Most listings include a TV and many offer onboard Wi-Fi or a hotspot, though coastal cell signal varies. Generators are common in Class C motorhomes, which is great for boondocking at remote pullouts and dispersed sites. Pro tip: check the listing's amenities list and message the host if you need specifics like a coffee maker, high chair, or beach chairs; many hosts include these for free.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Rockaway%20Beach%2C%20OregonWhat add-ons and mileage policies should I know about?
Hosts in Rockaway Beach offer a range of helpful add-ons that make your trip easier. Common options include bedding and linen packages ($25 to $75), kitchen kits, generator usage ($3 to $5 per hour), propane top-ups, bike racks, and beach gear like chairs and umbrellas. Mileage policies vary: some listings include 100 to 150 miles per day free, others offer unlimited mileage, and overage fees typically run 25 to 45 cents per mile. Pickup and drop-off are usually at the host's location, though delivery to your campground is widely available. Pro tip: if you plan day trips to Astoria, Cannon Beach, and Tillamook, choose an RV rental with unlimited mileage or generous daily limits so you're not watching the odometer.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Rockaway%20Beach%2C%20OregonHow does payment and the security deposit work on RVezy?
Payment is straightforward and secure. You pay through the RVezy platform with a credit or debit card, never directly to the host. A security deposit (typically $500 to $1,500 depending on the RV) is placed as a hold on your card before pickup and released after your trip once the host confirms the RV came back in good shape with no damage and tanks handled per the listing's policy. The security deposit is separate from your booking payment. Choosing a higher protection tier during checkout can reduce your out-of-pocket exposure if something happens. Pro tip: take time-stamped photos and a quick walkaround video at pickup and drop-off; it's the easiest way to avoid any deposit disputes.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360038106214-How-the-security-deposit-worksHow should I prepare for cool, wet weather on a Rockaway Beach RV trip?
A little prep makes shoulder-season and winter trips genuinely fun. Rockaway Beach sits in a temperate coastal climate, so even summer mornings can be foggy and in the mid-50s before warming up. Pack layers, waterproof shoes, and a rain shell, and confirm with your host that the RV's furnace, propane, and any heated tank features are working at pickup. Most RVs on RVezy have shore-power hookups for 30 or 50-amp service, so booking a campground with full hookups like Barview Jetty keeps you warm and dry no matter the forecast. Pro tip: winter storm-watching from the dinette with hot cocoa while waves crash at Twin Rocks just offshore is one of the most underrated Oregon Coast experiences.
