Elk City Park

What if a campground defied the usual expectations of bustling crowds and instead offered a tranquil retreat by the meeting of two picturesque rivers? Elk City Park Campground in Eddyville, Oregon, delivers just that, combining riverside serenity with a unique tidal environment. Set on two acres along the confluence of the Big Elk and Yaquina Rivers, this quiet campground features 12 well-spaced sites that cater to tents or smaller RVs, with no hookups for water, electricity, or sewer, enhancing the sense of rustic simplicity.

The campground is equipped with year-round amenities like a wheelchair-accessible boat ramp and clean restroom facilities with flush toilets, making it convenient while maintaining its low-key charm. It's a perfect spot for anglers, as the tidal rivers are rich with fish, and it serves as an ideal base for a peaceful day on the water or exploring the local forested landscape. With a location just 22.5 miles upstream from the Yaquina Bay, the area offers natural beauty without sacrificing accessibility.

Elk City Park Campground is a short drive from the small town of Toledo, where visitors can find local shops and services. The surrounding region also provides opportunities for outdoor activities like hiking and wildlife viewing, making it a choice destination for weekend getaways, fishing trips, or road trip stopovers.
