- Join us on our visit and review of Fort Stevens State Park Campground in Oregon! This "close to the beach" and "close to the Columbia River" State Park has a lot to do, a lot to see and loads of campground sites! History, a fresh water lake, a shipwreck on the beach, hiking, a fort, great walking and biking, green and a new Travel Small Live Big "Campground Favorite"! A perfect RV & tent campground with hundreds of sites. We had a great spot for our Rpod and enjoyed our stay here at Fort Stevens!

Nice campground, thanks for sharing!
The dog liked the lake and I liked the ease of walking her around the loops! Thanks for watching, as always -Heather
I’m on my way to Astoria next week. Camping in Fort Stevens in September. Thanks for this video.🥰
Awesome! Astoria is very cool - we didn't get to explore much of Astoria on this last visit there - next time! Fort Stevens needed more time too. Enjoy!
Very nice area, lots to do, just a great time. Thanks again.
I wished we had more time here - would have been great to explore more!
That looked like a wonderful area! So many diverse activities - beautiful lake, great history, the beach. And the campground looked fantastic - spacious, not crowded, clean. I'm sure many would-be travelers will benefit greatly from this video. Knew Lexie would find her way into the water!
We weren't planning on going here ~ it sounded so huge, but we ended up loving it! Great walking, great for families and yes, great for a Labrador retriever! Next time we explore more :)
Looks like a great place to spend a few days exploring the beach areas and just relaxing. Great review of this campground and area.
Yes ~ wish we would have had more time! The beach looked amazing. Thanks for watching :) Heather
Very Nice! Love the Northwest. So gorgeous!
Peace!
👍😀❤️
We love it too! In the right time of year... I think there are some larger spots for RVs of your size ~ we asked for the "away from people, quieter loop" and it ended up being great! Lots to see around this area. :)
Such a beautiful Nature Park and amazing & interesting Video ❤️
It is really pretty ~ just not enough time to fully explore. Thanks for watching!
Thanks for stopping by! We are now full time in our Grand Design Imagine XLS 17MKE and have traveled through over 35 states. For a taste of better editing and another awesome spot in Oregon: th-cam.com/video/O97YN1PSu1I/w-d-xo.html
very beautiful park.
It really is! Lots of trees & trails!
I'm so looking forward to finding a beautiful state park like this with decent cell service and isn't booked lol. Guess we just need to start planning ahead a little more. Thanks for sharing! Great review! - Shane
Amazingly enough, we only plan out a day or so in advance... but we try to hit Oregon on the "shoulder season". If we were there in the middle of summer we would definitely have to plan more and make reservations. :) Heather
Nice campground. ....looks peaceful.
It was! I think we got lucky after the holiday and most people were gone.
Corner of the Pacific ocean and Columbia river sounds like a great place to me!
Ha ha! Yeah ~ we hung out at a little park a bit NE of this for awhile and had the view of the river, but really wanted to see this park too. The lake was the highlight!
Looks like a great place to stay for a few nights :-)
Yes ~ if we had more time, it would have been nice to explore the park, the military area and the beach. This wasn't a planned stop, so we were kind of in and out. Thanks for watching Shawn!
Thanks for this video, we will be just at this campground in July.
Nice! If you don't have a site specific reservation, the south end of the south loop was really pretty! Easy walk to the lake too.
@@TravelSmallLiveBig Thanks for the information, but we have a reservation. We preferred to book because we were in the middle of July in a probably very visited place.
Denis Forcier super smart to reserve a spot! Definitely would need to do that in the height of summer. Have a great trip!
Hey I was there a year ago and its a nice campground
the-chief-156 rivera we were there September 2018 - such a pretty area! We loved the loop we were on and the lake. We would like to explore the historical area - next time! Thanks for leaving a comment 😀
To many folk for me with 300 sites :-) Looked reasonably quiet when you visited though :-)
THAT is EXACTLY what we thought! UGH!! We usually aim for places with fewer sites and lots of division between them. But, we were running out of daylight and options and it ended up being lovely! The lake was a highlight for us and the dog of course. I think if we had more time, the history would have been great too! It was quiet and we had several sites in front of us empty so all good :) Heather
I was going back through some of your videos looking for Oregon Camp spots and I noticed you said in this video that dogs aren't allowed on a lot of beaches in California and I could not imagine that
I know... there are a few beaches around where we live that no one seems to care (if they are well-behaved dogs) and we know of a few beaches in what I would consider central CA - around Avila, Jalama, Cambria. I just love how relaxed OR is about so many things! Where will you be camping? We found some awesome spots last summer - Farewell Bend & Whispering Falls were great!
Lovely video! I found you in Ray Hayden's comments so I came by to check out your channel! I am your NEW SUPPORTER! Full view, LIKE & Red Button!
Thanks for stopping by! I watched the first half of your very well said and spoken "trailer" - going to watch the second half via ipad in a few. Thank you :) Heather
Really nice campground but that Lake is definitely the best part of it. Luckily Lexie is not a cadaver dog or else she might pull out some surprises from the water lol.
It is nice! Lexie loved cooling off in that lake ~ very funny comment Eric!!!
Reserve well in advance… especially the yurts.
If you go later in the year, however - you just might see *elk.* (I did last Thursday, 10/12/2023. Gave them a wide berth.)
That’s so cool you saw elk! And thank you for the “give a wide berth” info, especially if it’s during their rut. I’ve watched a lot of videos of people walking right up to the male elk - holy cow!
@@TravelSmallLiveBig there was one of *THOSE* showing on Saturday during the bus ride back to Portland.
It was very large, looked irritated, and I was glad to be in the bus. “Big Mean Elk” are trouble.
@@dennisyoung4631 do you follow the “tourons” instagram accounts? OMG it’s frightening but hilarious (sadly)! #touronsofyellowstone & #touronsofnationalparks
@@TravelSmallLiveBig didn’t know about them until you mentioned it.
I tend to avoid most social media, due to (medically-diagnosed) disabilities making me “socially blind and deaf.”
Hi travel big!! Are there any free spots in oregon!
There are loads on forest service roads - just have to go out and explore! Our friends do a lot of forest camping in the Bend area - we have just never had enough time to drop the trailer off somewhere then drive around in the truck scouting spots.
I am going in may
It should be really nice in May! Lots to see and do here!
This is my "17th" visit...
@@rdkuless 😂 I hope there is an 18th visit - maybe on a newer video! Tyee Rec Area, Susan Creek maybe? This one is so old!
