Fort Stevens State Park, Astoria, OR















The nicest and largest state park we have ever been to (174 full hookups and 302 electrical sites with water). Asphalt pad for parking RV, the rest dirt and pine neddles. Tall trees everwhere so much so it interferes with satellite reception. No WiFi but 50 amp service and sewer on loops M, L, H and I. Camping units ranged from tents to large RVs. Fire wood and propane delivered to your site. Nine miles of paved bike only paths. Autos allowed to drive on parts of beach other parts dedicated to sun bathers. Fred Meyers and Costco near by. Large fresh water lake with boat rentals. Reservations are open 9 months in advance. It would be easy to spend two weeks here. Campground was sold out when were here. Cost was $27 per day with 14 day maximum. Private KOA campground accross the street and Kampers West Campground down the street at $36 per night $216 per week. Both are okay but nothing like the state park. Temperatures during the end of July were mid sixties with very little sun. Jeans and sweatshirts are needed. Five miles of hiking trails plus the Lewis and Clark trail and Northern trail head for the Oregon Coast trail.
