Barview Jetty Campground

For what the county charges for its camping there should be better service. Nothing’s better then a lukewarm shower to get your blood moving. We have had items stolen from our boat by the local meth users and if you want to put up a tent to store items out of sight you’re charged. We had planned to stay a month to fish in the off season but the $ 1400 was a bit too steep! The camp ground was almost empty but they would rather take several pounds of flesh then make a reasonable deal. I don’t expect to get something for nothing but a break would be nice.

Love this place if you don’t want electricity or water it’s $ 36 a night, we found a very secluded area. if you want water and electricity its $ 46. You can also take your RV and stay near the jetty.

Would rate higher because it was wonderful to be near the beach, but they nickel and dime you so much you can get a cheap motel by the beach for same $.

Went here for the first time and must say I was not impressed. I felt they should have a little better accommodations for the amount they charge. There are fees for EVERYTHING. They charge extra for a pet, per pet per day, an extra car, (much more than any place I’ve been) showers, wi-​fi etc. and it adds up fast! The restrooms are far away from many sites. There was a huge pile of dog poop in our site when we arrived. The roads throughout the park are very rough. I will not be returning.

Very nice campground. Of course, we’re here mid-​week so it’s really empty and quiet. Comparing to other places we’ve been, nice area between campsites. Close to the beach, you can’t see it but you can hear it. Lots of nice trails and plenty of trees. WiFi is charged by the day so that’s slightly inconvenient but heck, we’re camping! Unhook and unwind! Staff and hosts are very nice. Would highly recommend and will stay again!

I’d heard good things about Barview Jetty Campground, so I was expecting a different experience than the one we had. I guess I’ve been spoiled with State parks though? Here was my experience:
I LOVED the site. Our site was S7 and it was very spacious, and somewhat private considering that the campground is huge and it was packed. It’s conveniently located near a water spigot, showers, and restrooms. I was disappointed to find that there were several pieces of broken glass and bottle caps strewn about our camp. We were camping with our pup, so I spent quite a bit of time picking up the glass to ensure that he wouldn’t get cut.
The noise. Quiet hour is definitely not quiet here. At all. Our neighbors, who were actually two sites away, played their music until three in the morning. LOUD. Really really loud. We’d been told prior to booking that the sites closer to the beach were the «party» sites, so I’d booked a site further back since we were looking for a more low key experience. There was a lot of noise other than just the neighbor’s music. At about midnight someone set off fireworks. There was a lot of yelling and singing. Did I mention that it was loud? Also, be prepared to hear the bouy warning horn. All night long. It never stopped the entire time we were there.
The bathrooms are what you can expect from a campground. I was a little surprised that every time I went into one, however, it was dirty. The trash was always full or over flowing. There was toilet paper on the floor, and lots of hair in the sink. The showers are coin operated. If you forget your quarters at home there are change machines located outside of the showers.
The beach is phenomenal. It is a very very beautiful location. We got some stunning pictures of the sunset and moon-​rise from the beach. There are lots of fishing and crabbing opportunities. The location to the beach was my favorite part of this campground.
You can purchase firewood onsite, however, there are larger bundles available for the same price at the store on the corner, just outside of the entrance to the park.

This is the only campground I really go to anymore. The kids love it and so do tg e adults. Theres plenty to do and there’s showers and real toilets. Depending on which campsite u are either right on the beach or a close walk away. Kids love to go play on the sand hill for hours which is nice for the adults who can just sit at the bottom and relax. Ppl are usually nice never had any problems with any of the ppl running the campgrounds they even fit us in when they were booked.

It’s a beautiful place full of wildlife where nature takes over. It’s the only place that you can feel like you’re in the middle of the ocean on a boat! Bring camp chairs and a picnic if you’re only staying for the day. If you camp in the spring, you’ll see more wildlife than you can imagine.

I would normally rate 5 stars however I can’t due to the fact that they have all these new ridiculous fees at check in. $ 10 just to process your check in, which used to be $ 5, they raised their rates 33% on brown and blue tent sites, they charge $ 5.55 per pet (which I assume is for poo cleanup) yet my campsite was scattered with fresh to several month old dog shit. They now charge lodging tax and didn’t before, my stay was double what it was last year in $$$. I honestly am not sure I will ever come back. I have been coming here for eight years.

Since the Oregon coast is covered in amazing state campgrounds, you would think that a tiny county one wouldn’t have much to offer, but I was super impressed by Barview Jetty. There are lots of private, forested campsites, plenty of trails through the woods to the beach, sand dunes, and an amazing (and dramatic) beach. I would definitely stay here again.

For a campground, it isn’t bad. They have real, flush toilets and warm showers (a quarter for every two minutes-​just be prepared for scalding water for your first 30 seconds). The ocean is only a 2 minute walk and has a gorgeous beach. The down sides were the fact that the change machine closest to us was broken all week, and they had the horrible habit of cleaning the bathrooms during peak bathroom use time. Seriously, having to walk another 3 minutes to another bathroom with a full bladder was no fun. The worst part though was the obnoxious, drunken jerks lighting of fireworks at all hours of the day, randomly yelling swear words every couple of minutes for 10 hours straight. We were right by the camp hosts and nothing was done about these over the top obnoxious drunkards. In addition, they advertised WiFi which is only available in the RV area.
