Whalen Island County Park

I loved the natural vibe here. Very peaceful. It doesn’t have a lot of amenities, but also no crowds! It’s a great place to relax and clear your mind. Nature is very healing.

The campground is on the smaller side, with 33 sites packed into a pretty tight loop. The surrounding area is absolutely magnificent, beautiful, glorious, and all the other things nature can be. Wonderful bird watching.

This camping site is built in harmony with the beautiful scenery. The reason why I've already visited this place for the 3rd time is because there is a very good trail course, and it's a great place. If you walk along the secluded path, you can see the sea view and Wild natural area overlooking the sand beach, and you can enjoy a very refreshing trail with a reasonable distance. It's a flaw that there aren't many parking lots, but it's also a great place. I highly recommend it.

Driving through the 3 capes area looking for a camp site for the night for our RV. We passed a lot of private full hook up sites. We prefer to "boondock " and come across this place. There was only us there until another RV turned up after dark. Scenic peaceful area overlooking sandy Bay full of wild birds, blue herons, egrets, rabbits. If you're looking for simple out of the way and from crowds stay here.

Camping can fill up during busy times. Also pay day use area. Rabbits and lots of shore birds. Some thinking and relaxing in the island. The turn the the road can be hard to see if driving fast on 101.

I just got back from a short camping-trip from Whalen Island. To briefly sum up my experience: I had a great time here; this island is an awesome spot where I will surely come back soon! Whalen Island and the Clay Myers State Natural Area is a truly great little get-away spot right off the coast -- you can see and hear the ocean from some parts of the island. The camp site is rather small: only a handful of sites at the southern part of the island, one clean and equipped restroom-building, and hospitable and friendly camp hosts. The camp sites are close to each other, but you will still have plenty of privacy; and since it's a smaller camp, it's much more quiet and peaceful than other camps along the coast. The island is beautiful, filled with nature and wildlife. It's a perfect little camp!

A new discovery this year. We were just visiting, not camping, and the light and views over the water were just spectacular. Very peaceful.

This was our 1st camping trip in years. We had not been to Oregon so we booked this based on it looked cool. And it was a great quiet place - off the main road. The camp host was so nice - we had arrived late in the evening. Highly recommend.
