Finding a campsite at the coast last minute
Hey all! I’ve unexpectedly got some time off work and I’m hoping to take a last-minute trip with my partner. I’m super excited, but realizing that campsite availability is basically a pipe dream on this short notice. We’ll be driving from Portland on Saturday. We have camping gear or could sleep in our vehicle. I’m not picky about where we sleep, but obviously I don’t want to get a ticket.
I’ve seen some posts about dispersed camping in Tillamook State Forest. I’ve also heard that sometimes things open up last minute.
Does anyone have insight, recommendations, or guidance to share so we can still make this trip despite the short notice? I’d really appreciate it! If you don’t want to share your super secret spots with everyone, feel free to dm me! Im not from Oregon and will keep the goods under lock & key. :)
