Fort Stevens State Park in OR -- Camping

Positioned at the mouth of the Columbia River near Hammond, this 542-acre park fuses Civil War and World War II military heritage with coastal recreation. Historic artillery batteries, underground bunker complexes, and the photogenic wreck of the Peter Iredale ship anchor the grounds. Full-hookup RV sites, yurts, and deluxe cabins—most pet-friendly—serve campers. Activities include swimming at Coffenbury Lake, over nine miles of paved bike trails, fishing, guided military battery tours, and beach access where river meets ocean.
