Waldport Oregon and the Coast

We finally got to go camping again! We had some time and headed for cool weather and seafood on the Oregon Coast. It was great to escape the desert heat.

It is a long drive, so we stopped part way and camped at Tumalo State Park near Bend. The trailer part of the campground was pretty crowded. Some guy showed up after dark with a big trailer that was too large for the campsite--it was like he was trying to put a 10 pound puppy in a five pound crate--and he left diesel smoke all over the place because he took so long to park. Yuck!

Onto better memories! The campground at Waldport was beautiful.

This is camp on the Alsea river.

It was a great camp--nice people and fun places to play. The campground is rustic and well-maintained.

The trail to the river's edge.

We did some exploring and ate some good food. The ocean is fun to see, but tastes funny. This guy seems to like it.

He was barking. I didn't think you're supposed to do that.

We saw some cool buildings.

Heceta Head Lighthouse

And we saw some cool boats.

This boat was named after my sister.

There were some really weird fish.

I think this fish is named Peach.

Mostly we enjoyed cool ocean breezes and pretty landscapes.

We stopped part way and camped on the way home so we wouldn't get too worn out. We had a safe and fun trip!

Looking forward to the next trip!

Campgrounds on this Trip:

• Tumalo State Park, Tumalo OR gets one, dirty paw. Hot and dusty and the campsites are crowded like kibble in a supper dish. High Bubba factor
  
• Chinook RV Park, Waldport OR gets an enthusiastic 4 paws! Clean, quiet, well-maintained. The nicest people run it. Very pet friendly.
  
• Sisters/Bend KOA, Sisters OR gets one paw. Not small rig friendly. It is in the midst of a remodel so some facilities weren't operational yet they charge full price. Has the cleanest bathroom ever, too bad it was in the next county.
