Group Site 3

Group Site 3 at South Beach offers a wonderful opportunity to experience the rugged beauty of Oregon's central coast in a communal camping setting. Located at 5400 South Coast Highway in South Beach, this public campground provides easy access to one of the Pacific Northwest's most dramatic and welcoming coastal regions.

South Beach itself is a hidden gem along Oregon's shoreline, known for its expansive sandy shores, tide pools teeming with marine life, and stunning ocean vistas that shift throughout the day as the light changes. The area offers that perfect balance of natural beauty and accessibility that makes for memorable RV camping experiences. Whether you're watching the sunset paint the sky in shades of orange and pink, or exploring the beach during low tide to discover starfish and anemones, there's a sense of timeless coastal wonder here.

The location provides convenient access to some of the region's most popular attractions. Newport, just a short drive away, offers excellent dining, shopping, and cultural experiences, including the renowned Oregon Coast Aquarium and the Yaquina Head Lighthouse. For those interested in exploring tide pools and coastal ecosystems, the nearby Yaquina Head Outstanding Natural Area features several scenic walking trails and interpretive displays about the area's unique environment. Seal Point offers opportunities to observe harbor seals in their natural habitat.

This campground appeals to families seeking a relaxing beach getaway, groups of friends wanting to share a coastal adventure, and anyone who appreciates the raw beauty of the Pacific Ocean. The public nature of the facility means you'll have access to well-maintained grounds and facilities designed to accommodate group camping experiences. The South Beach area is ideal for beachcombing, photography, picnicking, and simply enjoying the restorative power of being near the ocean. Spring through fall offers the most pleasant weather for exploring tide pools and walking the beach, though the area's dramatic winter storms also have their own appeal for those seeking a more rugged coastal experience.
