Heceta Beach RV Park

The allure of a summer vacation by the ocean draws campers to Heceta Beach RV Park, where the sun, sea, and surf are within walking distance.

Folks who love an RV life will be impressed by the secluded sites and privacy created by a hedge of trees separating motorhomes. Sites are reasonably level and gravel, with partial or total hook-ups to water, sewer, and electricity. 

Being able to use your laptop in the park is all part of the service delivered by motivated hosts who take pride in their camp, offering amenities that include top-class restrooms, showers, and laundry facilities. Pull-through and back-in choices make camping out a breeze for every style of RV, with a picnic table and fire-ring on every site. The daily rate is $47 for RVs and $33 for basic tent camping in a secluded setting.

Backpackers will appreciate the working kitchen in the recreation room with a fridge and TV where you can tune into movies. A mini-gym keeps you fit while a well-stocked camp store has groceries and beverages for adults. Play a game of horseshoes or trade in your novels for new reads. The park is less than 2 miles from the highway, offering a peaceful retreat for folks who choose the rugged, rocky Oregon coast as their destination to escape the daily grind.

Dogs of any size and breed appear to be welcome, with owners asked to supply litter bags and pick up their furry friend's waste. Although there are no areas for pups to play off-leash, you'll find miles of sandy shoreline over at Heceta Beach for everyday walks. Dogs are required to be on a six-foot leash and can tag along to the historic lighthouse that still beams light across the Pacific.

The fabulous city of Florence is under 5 miles from the RV park and offers a diverse mix of old-world architecture, antique stores, and even a wildlife sanctuary. Pack up the RV with your four-legged pals and head for Heceta Beach RV Park -- but make sure you book in advance, as May through October is the peak season when sites fill up fast.
